I am beginning to think he was talking about the control scheme, because if you watched the demo at E3, it didn't look a huge amount easier. Precise slashes to kill Deku Babas, same with the giant scorpion, appparently.
I just want to see what they are going to do with the dungeons.

No. The name GanonDORF is never even so much as mentioned until A Link to the Past (when the thief next to the desert refers to Ganon as Ganondorf) and the Gerudo form known as Ganondorf doesn't appear until Ocarina of time. Neither Ganon nor Ganondorf are so much as mentioned in Majora's Mask. Not to mention the handheld games in which Ganon makes an appearance in only in the linked version of Oracle of Seasons and Ages. In Link's Awakening, the nightmare takes the form of Ganon, in Minish Cap and Four Swords the villian is Vatti, the villian in Phantom Hourglass is Bellum, and in Spirit Tracks it is Malladus.
Majora's Mask and Adventure of Link, however are the only two console games that Ganon doesn't make an appearance in (however in Adventure of Link, one of the main points of Link's quest is to stop the resurection of Ganon).

Just a correction here...
Gannondorf is the full name for Gannon.
It's the same person.
There are some inconsistancies in the stories, but Gannondorf is supposed to be the same character thoughout the ages while Link and Zelda actually change.

Am excited, hope it is Hero of Time.
Also excited, but I'd prefer if it wasn't the HoT. His presence should be reserved for 100% godliness. Swordsmanship looked cool.
Also Mandrag, Ganon was also the boss behind Vaati in Four Swords adventure for GC. Add it to the list. 😛

There are inconsistancies everywhere, man. No way around it.
Ganon has died, literally, two times but still 'comes back'. There's no way you can write around that besides pretending it didn't happen.
Here, people have written about this, quite a bit:

Psh. Everything makes sense.
You just have to agree with me. 😉
But 5L makes a good point; let's leave timeline speculation for when we actually have evidence from the new game to support it.
From interviews, we can guess this is a brand new Link, from a floating land called Skyloft (if I remember). He'll go back and forth between Skyloft and Hyrule through the course of the game.
Why the **** do people even try and work out the timeline? There isn't one that works... Nintendo ****ed up (**** ups that started pretty much from Zelda 2 and LTTP, watch AVGN if you really want to see why). It doesn't matter though, the Zelda series doesn't rely on it's narative. Simply because (like the Mario games) the storylines are really not very imaginative or important.
True Zelda fans appreciate the games as they are, without linkig them to eachother.

Lol, perhaps he's got selective hearing, General?Back on topic, I'm going to reserve judgement until I play this game, but I can see elements from PH and ST that look like they were integrated into the console formula.
The game will probably be good, it will also probably be bashed by the idiot OoT horde who might aswell not play any other Zelda game.
