It's coming, but no news or screenshots yet.
Hell there isn't even any news on the new Zelda game Capcom has been working on since BEFORE the re-release of Link to the Past on GBA. Here's hoping some stuff appears at E3.
Considering that they'll be working on the exsisting WW engine, I am hoping for a release this year, possibly near the holidays.

I've heard that you're not the same "Link" as last time but he will make an appearance. Supposedly some of the water is gone too but not all. I'll have my GBA for a Tingle-tuner and my DS for a Dingleberry-dual-tuner-thingamabob. This is going to a great year, another Zelda and Metroid (with multiplayer) among others plus a new system.

The sailing did suck.. but it was the first time in a video game I ever sat there thinking "Holy crap, this is a HUGE world!".. that scope is not realized in other games. Besides, once you get the warp song it's not TOO bad. But I will agree that I hope it's not as much in the new game.
I had a great idea for WW2 in another thread.. I'll have to see if I can find it..

Here we go:
Wind Waker 2 (obviously it will be called something else). Thank GOD they didn't listen to the whining 12 year olds and are keeping the Wind Waker style graphics, espically considering I think that game has the best graphics of any game I've ever played, nothing comes close. Miyamoto has stated that the game will offer something different for Zelda fans this time. Hopefully they mean different gameplay elements while staying true to what made OoT and WW great, and keeping away from the retarded errand boy style of Majora's Mask and parts of Wind Waker. If it does end up being a direct sequel to Wind Waker, I hope they cut out, or down, on the sailing. It was fun, but we already had that game. I think a good idea would be to be able to guide both Link and Tetra through the game. I think it'd be awesome if they split it up so that parts of the game have you playing the characters seperate, and part of it with them together, kinda like having the 2nd characters in Wind Waker, though WITHOUT having to play a song to switch characters. Just a thought of mine.. I think it would be something different while keeping true to the Zelda style game.

A couple of (related) things I'd like to see implemented in a zelda game:
-allow ALL conversations to be read rapidly. It works most of the time, but during certain crucial parts of the game, you have to watch each character appear individually.
-allow the cut scenes associated with playing the ocarina/wind waker to be skipped. After I changed the direction of the wind for the 10,000th time, it got kind of old.
I'm sure there are others, but they're slipping my mind.

I enjoyed wind waker but I don't think I will go for a spin on the new one. The graphics were okay, I just think they should have started a new franchise using the cel shaded look.
If they go back to the realistic graphics, I'm there.
I know that sounds old but I did enjoy WW, it was a nice change of pace, but it is time to change it back.

I think that they should make it a globe and have the moon pull the tides, revealing entrances, treasures, creatures, things like that.
I would buy the second one in a heart beat... even though I still haven't beat the first one yet (in fact I've only played it twice since Summer and still have one scroll to find).

The worst part of Wind Waker's graphics is the shallow drawing distance. It could have been an artistic choice to blur out things in the "background" (which could be just a few steps ahead) by doubling up pixels, but the effect looked so bad that I assume it was done for performance reasons. It was a real headache to look at objects in the distance. The indoor dungeons didn't exhibit this effect.

While we're on the subject of WW, has anyone ever heard of a graphical issue in WW where solid colors are displayed, you get a grid-like appearance? Usually happens at night sailing... kinda annoying.

I've learned to ignore it and be happy that I'm playing Zelda while they are playing Max Payne 3.

Just kidding. I haven't finished Wind Waker either, but I'm kind of inspired by this thread to get back into it.

Actually I enjoyed the sailing aspect of Wind Waker. The music that plays during sailing is fun, and I like exploring huge worlds (I totally loved Morrowind for this reason). I just didn't like having to sit thru the cut scenes for changing the wind direction.

Before I got the warp spell, I would read magazines as I sailed across the map.
Losing that aspect would be all the improvement I needed.

I wasn't a cell shading fan at first but now it's another story. Games like Zelda, Viewtiful Joe, Mark of Kri and Go Go Hypergrind have made me appreciate it. It is a shame when people dismiss a game on graphics alone. They're loss.

I think Wind Waker has pretty much the most impressive graphics of any game I've ever seen. And I've see A LOT of games 
Oh well, to each his own.
