Nice find Smoked

We're going to get two handheld Zeldas before an announcement for Zelda Wii? :(

I like Phantom Hourglass, but it just isn't as good as the four recent console Zeldas...

YES! I can't wait.

I'd imagine the development time on a console Zelda is quite a bit longer than a DS one. Especially if they decide to go in a different direction with the next console one, such as incoporating Wii Motion+ and real sword fighting.

I think everyone was hoping for a console one, but a DS one is a pretty good announcement too imo.

Is anything?

Also: hee hee that game looks so fun

Agreed.  Return to Hyrule!

Don't mind me.  I'm just whining because we still haven't heard anythign about Zelda Wii.  :P

Don't feel bad. We alll want Zelda Wii. It's an inescapable fact of life: if you like Zelda, and own a Wii, you want Zelda on that Wii.

The handheld games, however, have their own charm, and I don't think they actually take resources away from the console games.

I hope this sets a trend in terms of announcement/release date windows for the series, though.

Well, obviously, but there still won't be a traditional overworld map... Which is I guess is a natural evolution of the "dead sea" of TWW/PH fame.

Now as for storyline, it doesn't seem directly connected to PH. Zelda certainly didn't live in a castle in that game. On the other hand, there is the "Phantom" which kind of implies a connection. I suppose it could be a TMC-PH kind of relation.
