Whilst taht didn't make a great deal of sense, I think just about understand what I thought you meant it to say. Whilst there is going to be a lot of dry land in this latest encounter, it doesn't mean that a continuation of the Wind Waker storyline isn't a possibility, although I can't see it happening. Two ways to explain a continuation would be that perhaps these high waters levels were due to floods, which after much time, evaporated. Or maybe just a quick journey to a new world.
Anyway, I'm with you on this one, I can't see this being set anywhere other than back in Hyrule times, yet its still unconfirmed.

You haven't heard that 'everywhere', because it's simply speculation, and no one knows when the game will be set. That's what 'everyone', bar a few second hand sources, who misunderstand the information they recieve, says.
The Link in this new Zelda could easily be a grown up version of WW Link. Explain to me why he couldn't. He went off sailing with Tetra, maybe now he's grown up and has to save another land. Just because there were a few similarities with OOT (the title, the horse, the castle, a field, some woods), these are generic features of most Zelda games, and the fact that the enemies more closely resemble the WW enemies equaly suggests that it could be the same Link.
Or it could be a totally new, Link the 4th, trying to save Zelda the 5th.

Just because it is using the Wind Waker engine doesn't mean its going to be based at the same time in the same place, foo'. Just as mattribute said, a games engine and a games plot are two completely "unrekated" things.
I heard Perfect Dark used Goldeneye's engine (though obviously upgraded and mofified) but they are both completely different games.

Everywhere i've heard that this new Zelda is set after Ocarina of time when Link is 16 years old and is of course of age to be able to hold the master sword, it's meant to be only 6 or 7 years after Oot, not after wind waker as that would be an impossiblity with the not being too much dry land thing thy've got going on.

Why would they do that?
And how - what with there being dry land and all.
No no no no. A totally new game, totally new locations (well, some of the same, as always - but looking different) - just like every other Zelda game before it.
It just uses a modified WW engine - hence the sequel nonsense. And saying WW2 comes more easily than saying 'a new Zelda'
I doubt - very highly doubt - this game will bear any similarities to WW in terms of plot or locations.

Windwaker 2 was a little half truth so as not to spoil the surprise.
It's Windwaker 2 as I think the story carries on from Windwaker but not cel shaded. :-)

So, is this game the new "Zelda GC 2"?
Are we not gonna see a cel-shaded sequel to The Wind Waker after all?
I hate my PC, and every little bit of software crammed onto it, forcing the fan to struggle further... I've downloaded the video, but all I can get is the sound of this thing - no bloody pictures!
What good is Broadband when you have a TINY PC?! :P

What you probably read was how the game's logo looks very much like that of OOT and that many of the elements of the game looked like they were straight out of OOT.
Windwakers style was born out of Shigsy's nostalgia for look of Link in the Nes original.
This new one seems to be a lot more OOT influenced.

Nintendo haven't announced any details on the game's story or setting. Read the IGN roundtable on it with Shigsy, he's adamant about that.
