It’s hard to write a lengthy news article about something that didn’t happen, so I’ll make this brief. Nothing in the way of a new Zelda title was announced at Nintendo’s E3 press conference this year - the most we got was the mention that the Mario and Zelda teams are “Hard at work on new games”, by Satoru Iwata.
 
The conference was made up mainly of “non-gamer-friendly” titles such as Wii Sports Resort - which makes use of the newly announced Wii Remote add-on “Motion Plus” for more precise remote sensitivity, Wii Music - which has been in the making for a while, and Animal Crossing: City Folk - the only Nintendo game announcement which would be of any interest to “gamers”. The second most hotly-anticipated yet non-existant title, a new Kid Icarus game, was also a no-show.
 
If any news or tidbits make their way into the open during the remainder of the expo, I’ll be sure to report on them here.

P.S. Those who believed the Project Deluge rumour may now feel even more stupid.

Bah! Other than Animal Crossing for the Wii, I am also unproud of what was shown. …Very displeased….

Hey, just wanted to let you know. IGN has posted a interview with Miyamoto. And even though it may not be much to some, a new Zelda Wii and a new Zelda DS have been officially confirmed by Miyamoto. He even hinted that the new generation of Zelda may not be as different as what we thought it would be.

this is what corvosKK is talking about.

Haha, I completely forgot to give a link. Thanks!
