It is! So, we have a Sheikah Stone in Skyward Sword. Could it be a sign that more OOT 3D style visions will be in the game?

Espoch got it. It's a variation of the Sheikah symbol. You know, this one;
They're switches that activate some dark world or something.

A couple of things.
"Q: I heard a rumor that this may be the longest and deepest Zelda game ever made.
A: It's certainly no rumor what-so-ever. It is definitely a tremendous game- there is so much content that Mr. Miyamoto and I haven't been able to thoroughly play it all. We're obviously in the process of doing the refinement, but the fact that we're still chewing through the content as we go is a testament to the fact that it is a game backed by a tremendous volume of game play and content. When I say volume, its not necessarily just that there's a big world out there to explore. You come to understand the structures of things in your world, and you'll see a broadening of a kind of game play that goes on in these structures as you're playing through. So, that's one way the game has tremendous volume."
and if the fans want it, Nintendo will look into porting Majora's Mask to the 3DS.

We want, big time.
A longer Zelda isn't as a good thing in my mind. I felt TP was too long. Then again, if it has RPG elements, I could change my mind (that is, making extras and money worth while).
Do we know when this is coming out?

No date has been given yet. Most people assume sometime November. October maybe if we're lucky.
As for TP, I think the main issue of TP wasn't so much the length as the pacing, especially the start. Waaay too much time was spent no really doing a whole lot and travelling boring landscapes. Made the time between each dungeon seem like so damn long. Thats how I felt, anyway.
Currency has been broken in pretty much every 3D Zelda. Man I would love it if it were tighter. I dont know if role playing has a place in Zelda, but I know Skyward Sword has some kind of weapons and equipment upgrade system, where you need to discover parts hidden around the world to upgrade your stuff. Could be a really effective a neat way to encourage exporation. Fingers crossed.

I don't think he's being Molyneux-like at all. Based on everything we've seen so far, as well as the fact that all 3 Ocarina of Time sequels use its 1998 mechanics with a bit of a spit polish (so not much in the way of competition), this is almost certainly going to be the best Zelda of all time.

Actually, I was trying to point out the ultra-softball question. What other answer was he going to get than, "Yes, our game is awesome."
Not that I'm the hardest of journalists or anything, but I found it amusing.

Does anybody know if Nintendo will bundle with this motion plus? I was hoping they would cause I have no need to buy it before this game.

Possibly. I know they're doing one bundle that comes with a gold, Zelda themed WiiRemote+.

Fingers crossed that is the limited edition that EBs have listed on their site. If it is, it'll probably cost an arm and a leg, but it looks awesome.

Actually, just thinking about it, the expansive level design and ability to progress through the levels as you choose in accordance with your play-style that made the first Deus Ex so great would fit in well with Zelda gameplay.

I asked at my local JB and they said $149  (the guy brought up a document/memo on his monitor which stated the price)
I was hoping it would be ~$120 max based on this Limited Edition product listing at EB Games which still doesn't reveal any info about the LE contents yet...At $120 i'd have been all over this ($80 for the game + $40 for the wiimote = great value IMO), but $150 is too much. Maybe if it also included a gold nunchuk as Karai suggested $150 would be a little more feasible.

I went in today and pre ordered, and was quoted the $150 price tag too. I inquired about it and was told it's just a 'placeholder price' until they know more about the RRP closer to the release date. I think that's why there isn't an actual price stated on the JB website, just the "Pre-order now" thing.
Normally I import all my games, though I think I'd prefer to get it day one (assuming we get it at the same time as the rest of the world, which is unlikely -_-). I don't mind paying the extra if it's for a new Zelda game, plus the instant gratification rather than having to wait for it in the mail. In any case, JB are usually pretty competitive, and they almost always adjust their pricing depending on other retailers (from what I've seen with other games). 'Tis probably a bit early to gauge who has the best deal at this moment in time
