Do you have some valid indications that it will not be a holiday 2010 release?

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.

1 & 2) nintendo is very tight lipped. They just announced The Last Story which is also a 2010 title and will surely take a good bit of production. Not every company is horrible at keeping secrets like Sony is.
3) you have fallen under the influence of the fanboys and trolls that say Nintendo doesn't care about the "core". This has been proven wrong repeatedly. How a team dedicated to soley to Zelda is influenced by another dev team that is focusing on Wii game x is beyond me.

but zelda hasn't even been officially announced, right?
And I'm not easily influenced. IMO I saw the Zelda teaser art as a response to the "core" saying, "hang in there".

I'm not sure if you know this... but if you compare core release dates for the gamecube... and compare it with the Wii.
Wii DESTROYS gamecube. More Nintendo made core games came out sooner for the Wii then the gamecube equivlent.
Nintendo has been releasing more core games quicker with the Wii then they did the Gamecube. People just get the "abandoning the core" mentality because they've also been release a lot of other stuff as well.
