The sword does resemble the Master Sword from what I'm seeing. A lot of the rumors said it would be some new sword that would gain powers as you progressed. Looks to be BS now, but I'm hopeful for a Master Sword power up.
Edit: Actually, with the new focus on the sword, it seems more likely.
I also like the art style; it reminds me of PoP08 - stylized and cel-shaded, but still realistic.
Other than that, though, I'm going to have to agree with those who say it appears very underwhelming thus far. And Zelda is the only thing the Wii has that holds any interest for me at this point.

I think actually, since this was mroe a demo the sword may still change, though seeign Ganon again would be amazing, so meh. I still pray for OoT Link.
It looks very far from finished, I'm personally glad we got to say gameplay instead of just some flashy video animation. Nintendo had the balls to go straight to showing us new things in the gameplay itself rather than just some neat CGI video.

I'm not too thrilled about the right handed Link and hope the rumors of having his sprite and controls being fully reversible are true. The art looks a little bright and cartoonish and I prefer the dark and moody look of Twilight Princess.
Story-wise, I hope Ganon ISN'T in it and that it's a prequel showing the origins of the Master Sword (possibly hinted in the poster) and featuring the interlopers that would become the Twili as the villains. Great way for Nintendo to shoehorn Midna or one of her ancestors into the game.

That's what I'm hopeful for; sorry if it wasn't clear. I would personally love upgradable sword abilities. You're right, of course, it doesn't have to start that strong, as long as it ends up more powerful. I suppose the word I'm looking for is that I'd like the Blade of Evil's Bane to be "flashier." The sword beams are a start.

I don't know, man. The last thing I want is another sword that looks like the Master Sword, but isn't.
I mean, the Phantom Sword (please log in to view the image)
and the Lokomo Sword (please log in to view the image)
both strongly resemble the Master Sword, and this one looks pretty dead-on like the Master Sword. If this one doesn't turn out to be the Master Sword, and they don't change it's appearance, then I will be a little upset.
However, that said, it is possible that it could be the "Skyward Sword" hence the title of the game, and if that's the case, then the villain most likely will not be Ganondorf (which would be a refreshing change, since the only console title not to feature Ganon is Majora's Mask... and, though he didn't appear in Zelda II, the quest was to stop his return.)
But, I still think it is the Master Sword... It just looks too much like it not to be.
