Why? The Wii U has been out for a over a month now.
In my own opinion I would like for Nintendo to make another Zelda game for the Wii
There are conflicting messages surrounding Zelda Wii U. Following the E3 2011 demo, Zelda mastermind Eiji Aonuma said that fans should expect many changes: "I should say the demo you saw at E3 is more of a starting point at this time, especially from a graphical standpoint. You should expect many changes... our starting point is the gameplay and how we can make it work. It's possible the game will look very different by the time it comes out."
Would we have another Wind Waker situation when Nintendo shocked fans with Toon Link following the 'mature' Zelda demo the company had showcased at the previous year's Spaceworld? Well, by showcasing the same Zelda demo a year later, it would suggest that little had changed.
However, Miyamoto has said that Nintendo were still experimenting with Zelda Wii U and the focus seems to be on making Link's new adventure accessible to all after Nintendo admitted that not everyone got on with the motion controls of Skyward Sword.
Miyamoto said: "With the last game, Skyward Sword, that was a game where you had motion control to use your weapons and a lot of different items, and I thought that was a lot of fun, but there were some people who weren't able to do that or didn't like it as much and stopped playing partway through it...
"So we have a number of different experiments going on, and [when] we decide that we've found the right one of those to really help bring Zelda to a very big audience, then we'll be happy to announce it."
Yet Aonuma has appeared to be keen to stick with the Skyward Sword formula, saying that he thinks the motion controls will be used in future Zelda games. He even said that it is possible that Nintendo will use motion control ideas that didn't make the cut in Skyward Sword in future Zelda games.
One thing that is clear is Nintendo's desire to make sure Zelda is enjoyable right from the off. Last year, Miyamoto said that one of the discussions Nintendo have been having with Zelda is how to balance teaching gamers how to learn new skills and tell the story in a bid to "get people to that point of fun more quickly."
With all these discussions going on, will Zelda Wii U even be released in 2013? As Iwata said, we'll have to wait to find out.
-The game won't be revealed until E3 2013
-It won't be released until 2014 at the earliest
-The graphics will be that of Skyward Sword
-Nintendo of America prefers the motion controls to the Gamepad’s features and buttons
-Nintendo of Japan was surprised at the well-received romance between Link and Zelda and plans to make it a larger part of the story.
-Developers are weighing the pros and cons for Link speaking
-A well-known character from a past game will be returning, but not in the same role or form as the past
He even said that it is possible that Nintendo will use motion control ideas that didn't make the cut in Skyward Sword in future Zelda games.
Nintendo of America are stupid then. Forgive me, Reggie, but seriously, if ZeldaU makes a significant focus on the Motion+ I am going to feel nothing but disappointed. The Gamepad is an excellent piece of kit, it is the Wii U, essentially. To not take full advantage of it would be nothing less than a crime.

I'm sorry, but this statement is what's stupid. There's nothing wrong with wanting them to use the GamePad, but calling them stupid for preferring a completely functional and insanely entertaining control scheme (if they actually do) is just wrong.
Say what you want about Motion+ being functional and entertaining, that has absolutely no relevenace whatsoever. The issue I take is that the Wii U controller is also "completely functional and insanely entertaining". It's also brand new and cost me a couple of hundred pounds. To not use it, or to not use it extensively at least, makes the purchase of a Wii U kinda redundant. I, and thousands of other people, did not spend money on a brand new machine to play Wii games.
I did not call Motion+ stupid, I called not wanting to focus on the Gamepad stupid. It'd be like having a GameCube, but instead of playing with the controller, Nintendo asked you to buy the GameBoy Player and use a GameBoy Advance to play Zelda... Wait a second...

By "developers" they must mean "Miyamoto"-Developers are weighing the pros and cons for Link speaking
:?-A well-known character from a past game will be returning, but not in the same role or form as the past
The game will be revealed in some form at E3 2013. The game most likely won’t be released until early 2014 (it’s still in the early development stages). We may see an eShop demo in late 2013.
The game will feature a different art style than the HD tech demo shown off when the Wii U was unveiled. Early concept artwork looks like they’re sticking with Skyward Sword‘s style for now.
Nintendo of Japan prefers Skyward Sword‘s motion controls to the GamePad. However, they are aware that some fans still prefer traditional buttons or will want to use the GamePad.
Nintendo of Japan was surprised at how well-received the romance was between Link and Zelda in Skyward Sword and intends to flesh it out further for Zelda U. Because this dynamic was favored more in the West than by Japanese audiences, Nintendo of America is looking to popular American romance stories. Names like Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey have popped up in conversation, but the extent to which they will inspire the next Zelda is unknown.
Developers are weighing the pros and cons for both full voice acting and whether or not Link will speak.
A well-known character from a past game is returning in some way. This character may or may not be the in the same role and/or form as they was in the past.
If they are smart they will not have Link speak.-Developers are weighing the pros and cons for Link speaking
