I suppose a Capcom and Nintendo alliance for Zelda could work, might make it appeal to more mainstream gamers, maybe a darker look?
Who knows, if this were the case then it would say to me that Nintendo really have got big plans for the next console. There's very few new games actually coming from Nintendo themselves.
Oh and if yall didn't know, it's been confirmed that Factor 5 are working on a Pilotwings sequel for Cube. I can only imagine who amazing that's gonna be, can't wait.
The only reason we're getting another Zelda game so soon is that it's using the engine, graphics and models of Wind Waker.

Agreed. Pilotwings is a lovely game. A nice sense of flight and freedom, mixed in with some adrenalin-fuelled gyrocopter action.
I still remember when I first played the game. I'd got back from buying my N64 on launch day (and being totally ripped-off by Dixons- £250 for the console, and £60 for Mario, Pilotwings and Shadows of the Empire), played Mario 64 for a long while then slapped the PW64 cartridge in the console. I was a little disappointed with the huge borders at the top and bottom of the screen, but apart from that it was a fantastically relaxing gaming experience.
I expect an amazing title from Factor 5. They've proved they can make gorgeous landscapes and great flight dynamics, so the new Pilotwings will be near the top of my most wanted list.
Fly around for ages trying to find your mate, then once you find each other stand still and blast each other because the controls were iffy.

WAAAH! :D
It was excellent and it kicked Descent's butt all over the place!

That was a maximum stinkuss.
It was even worse than Descent which it stole all its ideas from.
Pilotwings was amazing, specially when it was originally released. I nearly shat myself when I saw the graphics. Skydiving and the Cannon Launching this were just pure class, specially when you blasted yourself into Mount Rushmoor and Wario's head appeared.

Sounds cool. I doubt it'd beat my "greatest game that nobody ever played" though.
Forsaken 64.
Curse all those who didn't buy it!!!
Should be a bloody franchise by now!
