Minka did the translating so it's not a mistranslation. As far as it being a misunderstanding on the part of the website, i dont know. However they did have the news story up about miyamoto commenting on the Zelda TP rev playability and this article states that a source who was reliable in the past says that it's in fact two versions. So i'm inclined to say that this isn't a misunderstanding and is classified as rumor at this point. Which makes since as Miyamoto has said that we could see two versions, or even 3 (based on an old interview). Now take what Anonuma said that 'Zelda TP will use the Revolution hardware but in ways you might expect" and I think we have a working theory on two versions of the game being released meaning a release for GC and then a Revolution launch title called Zelda: TP - Special edition or whatever.
MS is doing this all over the place with releasing the same game on Xbox and 360 with graphical updates, so I think this is the case with Zelda. it could turn out that Zelda for GC will have no rev compatability as far as using the revcon, it may held over for the special-er Rev edition.
That site also claims that the source says it may be a pack in game with Revolution:
1.) Nintendo releases zelda for GC
2.) Nintendo releases revolution with zelda rev
- Or, gives people Zelda Rev if they preorder a rev
Nintendo has given away multiple zelda disks including the collector's edition and the master quest OoT disk, if they release zelda TP for GC, I could totally see Nintendo doing a stunt where you preorder something, and get Zelda Rev for free. Even packing it in with the Rev.
Miyamoto or Iwata, i forget which, mentioned that they would like to see a return of the 'pack-in' game many moons ago, so that just fuels the fire.
ultimately this makes somethings weird in the sheduling, so I suspect that ccome e3, the launch date of Zelda TP will be bumped forward to a june, July or august release. we'll see though. It wouldn't be the first time Nintendo bumped a game forward.
