I'm imagining a Wind Waker-style 3-D Zelda with 4 player+ co-op support with voice recognition to perform certain tasks and puzzles with the stylus being used as a 'Z-Targeting' reticle that you drag and drop over enemies to lock on to them with the ability to aim any weapon by pointing or dragging the stylus in the direction you want it to go and probably new items that let you litteraly pick up objects with link's 'Mind' or 'Tele-Gloves' and throw them at enemies or again use them in puzzles.
I expect 'Tetra's Trackers' to be a part of the Zelda DS gameplay atleast for the co-op and i'm going to bet one American dollar that it will have online capabilities.
Oh and just a blind guess, but I bet alot of the voice recognition stuff will include the ability to explode bombs by yelling "Boom!" (ala Bomberman DS) or explosive arrows that you explode in mid-flight in the same way. I'm also willing to bet that the instrument Link will use will be a flute/ocarina where you will have to actually blow in to the mic and use the stylus to change notes and pitch OR the could even take out the instrument and have the player litteraly talk and use passcodes. Say the magic word to open the cave, etc.
One screen will be your map, menu, radar, communication screen, the other will strictly show gameplay. Though many puzzles, specifric 'scripted' battles and boss fights will have you using both screens for gameplay. I can even see a dungeon called 'Mirrored Dungeon' where the gameplay will be viewed on both screens for limited times where one screen is upside down (the mirror) which lets you see special items, areas, buttons etc you cant see in the 'real' view (top screen).
I expect to see every use of the DS put to work.
