Does Zelda Wii U’s delay mirror something from Nintendo’s past? Perhaps by looking at the development of Zelda games such as Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword a certain answer will come. Whatever the case may be, Zelda Wii U being on Nintendo’s latest console known as the NX may be the start of something special. Even if the NX will not be showcased at E3 2016, Zelda Wii U’s presence will provide some insight about the project. And maybe, just maybe we can get a name for the game and stop calling it “Zelda Wii U.”
