Fans of the "The Legend Of Zelda" were expecting its release on Wii U this year, but producer Eiji Aonuma announced that they could not release the franchise as it is "number one priority,'' IGN reported.
Aonuma, speaking on a record, announced the possible delay on Twitter and Nintendo's Miiverse.
The video was also posted on Facebook and YouTube.
"Since I declared at The Game Awards in December that the game would launch in 2015, the directors and the many members of the development team have been working hard developing the game to make it the best it can be," Aonuma said.
He went on that while on the production of the game, he discovered "several new possibilities" and ''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."
"As I have watched our development process, 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. So 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. Instead, our priority is to make it the most complete and ultimate Zelda game,'' Aonuma the continued.
Polygon added that Nintendo of America also announced on Twitter Aonuma and his team has decided not to show "The Legend of Zelda" Wii U at this year's E3.
