Zelda Wii U is no longer coming in 2015

Nintendo revealed today that it’s delaying the most anticipated Wii U game of the year.

Zelda Wii U is no longer a 2015 release, according to producer Eiji Aonuma. The director explained that he has ideas that he wants to explore how to make the game better than first anticipated, but this will require more time. Not only is the game getting delayed, the company also said on its Miiverse social network that The Legend of Zelda will not make an appearance at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo tradeshow in June. This is disappointing news for Wii U owners, but Nintendo has delayed Zelda games numerous times before — most notably when it held off on releasing The Twilight Princess on GameCube so that it could simultaneously hit the Wii in 2005.
