Yes I think shams has got this game by the cochones, we need something new yet oldschool, sure lots of Zelda fans will be "Oh NO it´s Windwaker all over again" some say Windwaker went to far, I say it didn´t go far enough. I´m with Soriku on that option C is the most compelling setting.
You could have a futuristic Zelda without loosing the original Zelda feel. Just like the X-Men animated series (which I love) you could make great futuristic scenarios, like Link and Ganondof fighting agains a greater evil, Link gets a Lightsabre and a Space-bow.... it could really be something special. Unfortunatly I don´t think Nintendo will go that far, even the Zeldas that played outside of Hyrule where really very classic in theit setting.
Still I´m very optimistic this will be a brilliant game, a female Ganondort (or maybe his evil/good sister sound very promissing.
