Legend of Zelda for Wii U won't be releasing this year. In fact the game won't even make a showing at the E3 game expo in June.

The delay in launch was announced by Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma in a video message posted on Facebook.

"I must apologize to you all that were expecting the game by year's end, but we are no longer making a 2015 release our number one priority," Aonuma said in the video. "Instead, our priority is to make it the most complete and ultimate Zelda game."

"As we have worked to turn these possibilities into reality, new ideas have continued to spring forth, and it now feels like we have the potential to create something that exceeds even my own expectations," said Aonuma. "As I have watched our development progress, I have come to think that rather than work with meeting a specific schedule as our main objective, and releasing a game that reflects only what we can create within that scheduled time, I feel strongly that our focus should be to bring all these ideas to life in a way that will make The Legend of Zelda on Wii U the best game it can possibly be."

The news of delay might bum out most of the fans but fact that Nintendo wants to focus on developing the best game possible rather than developing a game to be released as soon as possible is a good decision.
