I have been reading a lot on this game this morning, anyways, here is what I gathered:
1) The game begins with Link at the age of 16; he will grow older as time progresses through the game. The game takes place over years (probably similar to Final Fantasy Tactics).
2) The game unlike previous Zelda games does not take place in just one country, it takes place across a few of them, and Hyrule is among them. Link's village in the pics that looks similar to Kokiri village is actually not Kokiri village. It is an Elf village that is in a country outside of Hyrule.
3) As far as battle controls go, they are similar to the tested and true Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker controls; though there are many new additions to the standard movesets (of course). EGM reported that the battle system has changed quite a bit though, so we'll just have to see.
4) The scale of the game is said to be somewhat large, and the plot much deeper than any previous Zelda title.
5) The water is now transparent to a point, and looks much more realistic than any previous title.
6) The detail of the characters has been improved from the Spaceworld demo, the developers felt that the graphics style was correct, but that the characters needed more detail.
7) There are many towns in this game, and all are said to be superbly designed
Princess Zelda fights in this game. Speaking of Zelda, here is some conceptual art of what she will look like int he game: http://www.gbazone.com/tweder/zelda.jpg
9) The overworld will be filled with activity and events.
