"TWO NEW GC/GBA ZELDA GAMES!! TETRA's TRACKERS and 4 SWORDS GC"

LOTZ: TETRA'S TRACKERS:
Breaking!: Nintendo have revealed their new Zelda title for GameCube, The Legend of Zelda : Tetra's Trackers!
At Nintendo’s annual pre-E3 conference, Shigeru Miyamato amazed the crowd as he unveiled the Four Swords-esque, The Legend of Zelda : Tetras Trackers. The title will be played via 4 GBAs connected to the GameCube.
Tetra, the leader of the pirates, has put forth a challenge: Link must race his way through various settings, collecting stamps from Tetra’s pirate cohorts. To rise to the challenge, he will have to use all his exploration and navigation skills. Accepting this hefty task, players search for pirates placed strategically around Pirate Island and receive a stamp from each one as proof that they actually found them. Pirates must be found in the correct order, so players rely upon map information and hints provided by Tetra through the fabled Pirate’s Charm. Up to four players compete to see how many stamps they can collect before time runs out.
Experience a new level of connectivity between Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance. Compete against one another to prove your skills as trackers.
Control four different colored versions of Link, from the Legend of Zelda series, including characters from The Legend of Zelda®: The Wind Waker™. Tetra, the young leader of the pirates, guides you as you race to gather stamps from her pirate followers.
Use the Game Boy Advance as a game screen and a controller, and race against up to three friends. Exclusive information appears on each player’s screen, while Tetra guides the group along the way with clues that appear on Nintendo GameCube.

Legend of Zelda: Four Swords FOR NINTENDO GAMECUBE

Nintendo today announced two new Zelda games for the GameCube. Earlier we announced The Legend of Zelda : Tetra's Trackers, now we are proud to reveal The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords for the Nintendo GameCube!
The mission seems simple in this four-player competitive Zelda game: collect more Rupees than fellow players. But as players explore a massive world that spans both the Nintendo GameCube and the Game Boy Advance, they must team up to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. However, cooperative game play can be a daunting task when each person is looking out for number one! Pick up and carry rival players, use the boomerang to steal items, and prepare for heated competition with the countless items and enemies that define the Zelda series.
Features
Control the game by connecting one to four Game Boy Advance systems to the Nintendo GameCube (no Game Pak is required for the Game Boy Advance).
Explore cooperatively on a single television--or duck into the underground world within your Game Boy Advance to see what lurks below.
Work together with other players to defeat enemies that go back and forth between the Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance screens. Control enemies on the Nintendo GameCube by hitting switches on the Game Boy Advance screen with their swords.
Use strategy to find out where other players are on the Nintendo GameCube screen or where they're hiding in the caverns of the Game Boy Advance. While players are inside the caves or houses, they can see secret messages on the Game Boy Advance screen or perform actions without others knowing.

I think they'll all posess the old "Zelda fun" But I've worked out this is the place for the GBA-GC link up... look at the titles:

Zelda Tetra's Trackers
Zelda Four Swords
Pacman for Gamecube
Pokemon Box
Pokemon Colloseium

You better get a free GBA-GC link lead with one of those.

Do you mean its like WW in graphical style? If so then:

If youre saying it isnt a full Zelda adventure rpg style game then I agree.

Tetra's Trackers sounds a bit pants to me.

Its like orienteering without the fun of the twisted ankle.

That's a perfectly good point but it looks like this is part of the GBA connective spear headed plan... Pacman being another idea. They are just re-using the old GBA engine they've used twice already.
