Then you didn't turn on your TV, or check out a single zelda site. TP was one of the most hyped games prerelease of any Zelda game, and that will only be eclipsed by the next one.

Just saying mate, don't believe something just because you read about it. Sure there is a lot of information there. There also is a lot of information in fanfictions. Doesn't mean they are actual canon. I mean, a better debate about the validity of something is the Sound and Drama Script, something I fear most new Zelda fans still don't know about (this is where the infamous "link came from calatia" comes from).

Here's how you know if the rumor mill is actually true about a zelda game: Check out a zelda sites mainpage, and see if it's listed with the rest of them. IF it's not, then you can bet it's not official.
