Is it just me, or does it feel like Aonuma's really trying to bring some kind of progressing storyline to the Zelda universe? I think he's going to end up using Ocarina as his starting point... even Wind Waker felt based off of OoT.
I think the next game we get's going to focus on expanding the story of Hyrule, not just restarting the Zelda/Link stuff.
(big spoiler ahead...)
