Well, the only thing saying it may be in 2010 has been teasing. There hasn't been a direct answer or date set.
For counter-evidence:
1. Nothing has been shown from the game. Not one thing. Even the picture from last year's E3 was called inaccurate by Miyamoto himself. That means that by last E3, they didn't even have the characters fully developed. Just ideas.
2. Last year at E3, 2dmario was shown and then released several months later. That was another game that was not shown in any shape or form previously. Granted, they are both high-quality games, I think Zelda is a much more production-intensive game. Additionally, it may be using several different peripherals and would be more technical, imo. If 2d Mario made it just before Xmas, I don't think Zelda will make it.
3. Zelda does not really belong to the new market or model. Therefore, Nintendo is less inclined to give it everything they've got. 2dMario fits in with the market perfectly, but Zelda...not so much. Unless something within Zelda has drastically changed...like multiplayer (god, no) then it's not a priority.
Just my own opinions and conjecture, but I don't think they are going to push it out so fast. Look at Metroid for a more accurate example of a similar game.
