The sword fighting won't change at all.

Actually the sword fighting is the one thing I expect to change the most since it basically amounted to moving the Wii-mote in Twilight Princess.

Also, I don't think it will be a side quest story as it will be the first Zelda made from the ground up for the Wii.

I don't see it being a sequel to any of the other games, and I also assume that the main plot will involve a device you control with motions similar to the Wind Baton in Wind Waker.

Good point. Maybe a rod that can control many things (floating fireballs, your ship's rudder, eh...)?

One thing I already considered a year ago is a dancing aspect. Link's Awakening had some (simple) dancing.

Wouldn't it be cool if they took some of the Retro Studio guys to work on the environments? But I guess that's pretty unlikely. And TP already had some good art.

Oh, one thing I hope they won't do (but I'm pretty sure they considered) is making it a 3rd or 1st person 'shooter', like Link's Crossbow Training.
