News: Nintendo France Suggest Zelda Rev Controls

Nintendo of France's new marketing director has suggested that Revolution controls for Twilight Princess are a cert, in one form or another...
Marketing director Mathieu Minel has been interviewed by French gaming site Jeux-France, and was questioned specifically about whether Twilight Princess would include Revolution controls - quite the ongoing saga of late in the world of Nintendo.
Jeux-France: "Will the next Zelda, still scheduled for Gamecube be, also playable on the future Nintendo Revolution and the exclusive functionalities of its controller? Will the game be released this Spring?"
Mathieu Minel: "I just know that Nintendo will release either a special edition of Twilight Princess for Nintendo Revolution's controller new functionalities or include these functionalities directly into the original sourcecode, thanks to the compatibility between the two systems. But actually we still don't know which option will be chosen. We don't have any releasedate as well, but we're already working on all the marketing aspects of Twilight Princess so I think the game will be out soon, even if the exact date is yet unknown. It all depends on the compatibility with the Revolution and a lot of others things. You know, this game will be a full set of surprises, especially with a new and violent battle system but I can't tell anymore."
We've heard many different things from all corners of late, but this appears to be the clearest indication yet that Link will be swinging his sword via your Revolution controller's movement. We will of course keep you posted.

Cube-Europe has never posted anything that is untrue unless it's a 'top 100 games' llist or some other opinion. Their news has always been good. other sites though claim that the french translation isn't accurate, so this isn't definitive. because of this, i'm sure a more official translation will be forthcoming.
everyone agrees though, that the translation is accurate in that a Zelda game is planned for Revolution. Whether he's speaking of TP or a new game is uncertain. It should also be noted that the article has been edited with the questions and answers from the zelda revolution comments removed, most likely from Nintendo.
So take it with a grain of salt, but as we get closer to E3, multiple authentic and official sources are confirming Zelda Revolution connectivity and that cant be ignored, no matteer how bad Nintendo wants us to :D
Confusing, but the idea is simply that one can gain information about something without actually interacting with it, which in classical physics is completely impossible, even if you are psychic.
