You know, that's exactly what I used to think, but if Nintendo can announce a new redesigned system and release it a month later, I think it can apply to games too.
As for Zelda, I believe it all depends on how the development is coming along. If they're close to finished, they'll announce it at E3 (or at their own conference, if they have one) with a release date later that year. What I think is more likely is a 2010 release, with the announcement of the game at E3 2010 (or maybe Nintendo conference 2009).
