EA =  Eiji Aonuma (the wonderful producer)  -
 not Electronic Arts (evil bastards)

"Greetiiings!
I just bought the german Gamepro and there is a 2-pages interview with Eiji
Aonuma in it. Here are the infos from it:

- EA wouldnt say that the new Zelda is a "dark" game... That impression just
comes to mind, because Nintendo wanted to show fighting scenes in the
trailers and, well, the guys you have to fight look "dark", of course.

- EA didnt want to go into detail, but it is possible that Link will have
another sidekick like KORL or Navi.

- The new Zelda game will fit into the chronology of the past Zelda's... But
again, EA doesnt want to go into detail, because the setting is, like he
says, one of the big suprises the new game will offer.

- Realism is an important piece of Zelda05, concerning the weight and mass
of objects. Physics, anyone..?

- Many bossfights in the previous Zelda games happened in Dungeons... That
will be different: Some of the biggest (!) bossfights in Zelda05 will happen
outside.

- EA is thinking about characters, that are just coming out at night/day.

- It is possible to hijack EVERY mount from beaten enemies, even bosses.

- They want to integrate a water-road into the overworld, acessible with
your boat. It's possible to reach far places faster then with your horse.

- The overworld will be huge, seamless kingdom.

Thats it so far... EA didnt want to answer the question, if Link's horse is
Epona, but a knowing smile crossed his face. "
