@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.

Sorry I was not aware that the 'deal' between Intelligent Systems and Square was a mistranslation, considering it was reported on by many people.

However, the information that Ocarina of Time was made over the course of 4+ years comes from Miyamoto's own mouth from interviews.  And its well known that Nintendo begins pre production and concept design on games even before the consoles come out.  Look at the TGS footage for Link fighting Ganon that eventually turned into Twilight Princess more than 5 years later.
