@ShadowlinkYou say you're not trying to come across as hostile, but that is how you're coming off. Just take a breath and look at what I'm saying. We have confirmation that TP was delayed. We can argue that OoT was delayed. TWW met its release date. We can really stretch things to argue that SS was delayed.
So if we view all of the evidence in the light most favorable to you (i.e., we
only count the 3-D console games even though you didn't say that originally, and we assume that OoT and SS really were delayed), then that means prior to the announcement of this delay, Zelda games were delayed 60% of the time.
If we view all of the evidence in the light most favorable to the other side of the argument (i.e., we count every Zelda game since you said every Zelda game, and we don't include OoT or SS as a delay since they're debatable), then that means prior to the announcement of this delay, Zelda games were delayed 6% of the time.
So regardless of whether the actual number of Zelda games being delayed is closer to 6% or 60%, nothing in the range of those percentages is a high enough frequency to count as a "standard" practice.
The fact that you want to fight about whether someone would count something as a delay proves that lots of people are going to view the OoT and SS situations as delays regardless of whether they actually were or not, so it's understandable how this misinformed stereotype has become so prevalent. It's just like the idea that Nintendo only puts out kiddy games. Some people still argue that Mario and Kirby and Zelda are kiddy, so even when Nintendo puts those games out, they think that's reinforcing the misinformed stereotype that they already believe.
