Probably true, but combined Twilight Princess is fairly close, now.
I imagine that it has more to do with wanting to break Ocarina of Time's stranglehold on the legacy of the series in the eyes of the public. Considering how well Phantom Hourglass did and how much better Aonuma's games tend to be when he has free reign, I expect him to be as creative as possible for the next outing.
The idea excited me.
