@Kenryoku_Maxis: Intelligent Systems is not working with SE anymore. That was a mistranslation from the guy that read the Famitsu article. That "6" was for "June", the date when the game was coming out. Intelligent Systems has been free since May, when they released Made in Ore for the DS. This small DSiWare game obviously didn't take them much time.
Also, Zelda: OoT was released in November 21, 1998. The N64 was launched in June 23, 1996.
That's less than 2 and a half years, not 4 and a half like you imply.
