The new Zelda has been delayed until 2016 and won’t be at E3

Well, this is what happens when you gets you’re hopes up, you just set yourself up for disappointment. It looks like what many people were hyping to be the biggest release of the year isn’t even going to be released this year. According to Nintendo, not only will the highly-anticipated new Zelda game for the Wii U be delayed until next year, we’re not going to be hearing anything about it at E3 in June. 

Bad news for Wii U owners today. The biggest release of 2015 isn’t going to be in 2015 anymore. In a video message, producer Eiji Aonuma says the game will not make its planned release before the end of the year. In the video statement below, Aonuma says that over the last three months, the development team has come up with new ideas for the game. Rather than cut them or amend them to make deadline, the team will be working without a specific deadline. “So I must apologize to all of you who were expecting the game by year’s end, but we are no longer making a 2015 release our number one priority,” Aonuma says. “Instead, our priority is to make it the ultimate and most complete Zelda game.” The Legend of Zelda will not be shown at E3 2015, Aonuma confirmed on Nintendo’s Miiverse website.
