This is such great news. I truly can't wait to play WindWaker for the first time. And the visuals look stunning, much more than just an up-scale. The idea of openworld Zelda takes me back to the days of Zelda 1 and wandering around hyrule screen by screen. So much potential.
The "conventions" topic, I think, refers to things such as Z-targeting, bottles, potions, songs to learn, the grunts the village people make when you talk to them, the advisor companion.... things that have been added to the series over the years and become conventions. I really hope they review all of these things and scrap some of them, replacing them with something fresh. Give me a sword, a sheild, a fantasy world to freely explore, cool items to collect, neat enemies to fight and great graphics and sound. Beyond that, come up with fresh ideas as to how the game will play and play out. But make sure the controls are tight!
