The Legend of Zelda Release Date Wii News: 'Zelda' on Wii Not Happening in 2015
Nintendo will not be able to keep its promise to release "The Legend of Zelda" on its Wii consoles before the end of 2015. This much was revealed by the game's producer Eiji Aonuma through a video announcement last week.
Aonuma explained in his video statement that the development team in the process of developing the game has recently "experienced firsthand the freedom of exploration that hasn't existed in any Zelda game to date" and thus have "discovered several new possibilities for this game."
These "new possibilities" he was referring to also led to new ideas that the development team would like to continue exploring. Because of this seemingly continuous process of discovery, they have shifted their focus from releasing a game within the time schedule to bringing "all these ideas to life in a way that will make "The Legend of Zelda" on Wii "the best game it can possibly be."

His last statement was an apology to those expecting the game before the end of 2015. He promised to use the added time to make "The Legend of Zelda" for Wii U into a game that will reward you for your patience, so thank you for your continued support."
"The Legend of Zelda" is the working title of the upcoming action-adventure video game being created for the Wii console. It is the 18th game of the Zelda series, and the second one in HD or high definition. The game was originally demoed in the 2014 E3, with additional announcements from Nintendo that it will be released towards the end of 2015.
The game will feature an open world which will allow players to explore different areas fully and to approach them in different ways. It apparently wants to continue "the change of Zelda's gameplay from a linear set path and storyline to non-linear, open world and objective-based" which it started in 2013's "The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds."
