Do you still expect a Zelda Wii to be annouced this year?

At last year's E3 did they say they had a Zelda game in development that was specifically for Wii or just a Zelda game in development? If they said one specifically for the Wii then I think we will see a preview at E3 if they didn't then it might not be until next year.

They didn't specify. They merely said the Mario and Zelda teams were hard at work on new projects. People were bitching about the lack of Wii games specifically though, which prompted the comments, so they were taking the comments to mean these teams were working on Wii games, which is obviously not the case with the Zelda team. It may not be the case with the Mario team either.

 

We know for a fact that the Zelda team is divided between console and handheld departments, and I would be very surpriced if the console team was not working on Zelda Wii. Still, this means Zelda Wii probably won't be released this year.

@bolded-I don't know this for a fact, that's why I'm asking. Can you link me to where Nintendo says the studio EAD 3 (Zelda studio) is split into handheld and home console teams?

@Khuutra-That makes sense. It's hard to say at this point, but Spirit Tracks does not sound like the name they would give a prominent Zelda project and frankly it sounds more like a spinoff or side project. Did Nintendo specify what kind of game it'll be during the keynote?
