I don't know... The problem is that Zelda innovated in many areas in gaming with each new titles, and "copying" an idea from another great game just wouldn't make it a Zelda game.
I hope most things you said won't happen. I want the guys (girls?) at Nintendo to blow my mind, and apparently they're taking A LOT of time developing how the game will play so no problem there. I'm expecting a Phantom Hourglass impact, but for the Wii instead of DS.
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
