The one thing that blew me away at E3 was the Zelda Tech demo. In fact that tech demo won a Pure Nintendo E3 award. In an interview with Wired Aonuma says we should not read to much into the Zelda demo and look.

“You probably remember that when we introduced the GameCube, we showed a somewhat realisticZelda demo,” he said. “And what we actually created was the cel-shaded Wind Waker. So when we show a graphic demo, people think, ‘Oh, this is what the next Zelda will look like,’ but that’s not necessarily the case,”

Aonuma goes on to say his team did not create the demo for they are still hard at work on Skyward Sword. Satoru Takizawa, the art director of Twilight Princess, headed up the production of the demo.
