Yep, the next chapter in the Zelda series was announced today, on E3. It will be released on the Wii sometime during 2011. The graphics look a lot like Twilight Princess, except cel-shaded which is a plus for me. It will also heavily rely on the Wii MotionPlus for sword-fighting.
My thoughts:
Wow... Just wow. I have a feeling that this will be what the fans have been waiting for.

Besides, as GO said, graphics don't matter that much.

yet I guess I gotta get used to it since I still wanna play it, 20 seconds of a trailer are hardly enough to judge a whole game

Seconded. Some of the landscapes were pretty good, but other than that, it was pretty 'ehh...'
Also, I never understood that, despite having the most 'realistic' graphics of any zelda game, most of the people looked just plain inhuman.

I think the problem was that they packed all the weird-looking NPCs in the BEGINNING of the game, with the somewhat normal looking ones appearing much later.

The landscapes were cool but the overworld was pretty dead. Little to no exploring and very few sidequests.

Is it wrong that I honestly preferred the golden Skulltula tokens as a sidequest gimmick?
TP was really dissappointing in areas of replay value, partly because of the lack of sidequests, and partly because it takes so LONG to actually get started.
Why can't we have something like MM again? The main thing I liked about was the large amount of sidequests, minus a select few. (DAMN YOU, DON GERO!)

TWW had a lot of sidequests as well, mostly on Windfall Island. TP's sidequests were all about collecting stuff, except for that one escort quest involving a barrel of water.

A VERY long sidequest. First, you have to light all the torches in the room in the Goron city with the crying baby, which causes a bunch of pots to start rotating, which you have to roll into in mid-air, one of which will have meat in it. You have to carry this meat ALL the way down the mountain, to give to a hungry Goron, who'll give you a Don Gero mask. Not only that, you have to go to all 4 dungeons and beat every mini-boss, then talk to the little frog in the mini-boss room while wearing the mask. Remember, you have to do this all in ONE cycle. And your reward for doing all that, minus the mask, is... a single heart piece.
Anju and Kafei were annoying, but at least you kinda ENJOYED it. (Well, I did anyway.)

Anju & Kafei was annoying because it took so long, but it didn't get hard until the last day when you had to control both Kafei and Link. And if you failed, you had to start over and to the whole thing again. The ending to it made me shed a manly tear or two though.

The biggest pain was having to do it all over again, then getting to the night of the third day and remembering, "SHIT! I FORGOT ABOUT THE PENDANT!"

But hey, this game looks interesting, and it's so hyped up that I know I won't be able to resist actually using my Wii for something other than Brawl just to try this game out at least...

Nothing like sitting there, waiting for Kafei to show up, check your inventory for no reason, and it's still there.
May I ask who Kamaro is? I haven't played Majora's Mask in quite some time.

Perhaps his song will jog your memory?
Here ya go!
Maybe seeing the little quest dance may help....I adore his mask for some bizzare reason...
Or ya could be lazy and simply google him on some Zelda Wiki. He is very important really but I like him because he's so....Odd.

Ohhhh, him. Yeah, I loved that guy. And his funky fresh beats. I also love that dance scene because SOMEHOW that 'mask' gives Lunk super dance powers.

Well, seeing as I pointed this out elsewhere already, I'll quote myself. Japan didn't like Twilight Princess all that much.
Actual sales figures, the most blatant demonstration
A more general wiki page on sales for the franchise as a whole
Kotaku reporting on TP dropping off the Japanese Top 30 ...in December 2006
Joystiq reports on the apparent sales failure of TP in Japan
And the kicker: Blue Dragon beats Twilight Princess in the Japanese sales charts
Yeah, Twilight Princess didn't do so well in Japan, I doubt they're going to make that mistake twice.
And just in case that wasn't enough...
Mystery solved.
Oh and for the record: best looking Zelda ever, and I've only seen a two minute trailer.

Skyward sword....hmmm.
Maybe this little thingy behind link in the poster is something to do with the sky, so maybe link will be going off to the skies (
Or maybe its the new master sword? The skyward sword? Thoughts?

But Link FLYING?
Sure why not, in WW he could with the deku-leave, yeah sort of but Link's element is and STAYS the wind element. It is always a hero who appears with wind or something.
