I don't think a direct link to the trailer will work, but you can get it from the link on that page. I love that music.

Game description, which wasn't on Zelda.com for some reason.

When an evil shadow stretches from the heart of Hyrule to its peaceful borderlands, a young farm boy named Link must awaken the hero ... and the animal ... within.

Features

•When Link travels to the darkened land of Hyrule, he transforms into a wolf and must scour the land with the help of a mysterious being named Midna.

•Ride into battle against troops of foul creatures, using an incredible horseback combat system, then take on massive bosses that must be seen to be believed.

•Many puzzles stand between Link and the fulfillment of his quest, so players must sharpen their wits as they hunt for weapons and items.

•Characters include Link, Zelda, Midna and many others, both new and old.

Link, a young man raised as a wrangler in a rural village, is ordered by the mayor to attend the Hyrule Summit. He sets off, oblivious to the dark fate that has descended upon the kingdom. When he enters the Twilight Realm that has covered Hyrule, he transforms into a wolf and is captured. A mysterious figure named Midna helps him break free, and with the aid of her magic, they set off to free the land from the shadows.

Link must explore the vast land of Hyrule and uncover the mystery behind its plunge into darkness. As he does, he’ll have to enlist the aid of friendly folk, solve puzzles and battle his way through dangerous dungeons. In the Twilight Realm, he’ll have to use his wolf abilities and Midna’s magic to bring light to the land.

Besides his trusty sword and shield, Link will use his bow and arrows, fight while on horseback and use a wealth of other items, both new and old.

[E3] NEW The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Details
Posted by Josh Wyant on Tuesday, May 17, 2005

NINTENDO INSIDER FIRST: At a Roundtable today, Nintendo revealed a few new details on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Read on!

-The title of the game comes from the "Twilight" which is apparently a dark and evil force spreading throughout the world. Seems like there's some sort of a Dark/Light world thing going on.

-Link Transforms into a wolf whenever he enters the "Twilight" world. He is NOT a Werewolf

-The Female creature shown in the trailer riding link is an enemy of some sort, but you have to team up to fight an even greater evil.

-Link can talk to animals, and they teach you abilities throughout the game.

-Certain puzzles in dungeons require you going back and forth between the Light and Twilight worlds. (Similar to Link to the past and Metroid Prime 2)

-The entire soundtrack is fully orchestrated for the first time in Zelda history.

-The game is going to feature more Dungeons than OOT and the overall scale of the game is much much larger.

More details will be known tommorow, as the game is playable on the show floor.
 
Man this is going to be cool. One of the things that just really, really, rankled was the animation style of Wind Waker, certain characters just bugged the heck out of me. This new one is going to be literally spectacular.

Did you notice how the dude riding Lobo-Link made the spirit rat things visible? Maybe the rider has some sort of Lens of Truth deal going on to help Link see the spirit--er, Twilight--world.
 
The new game looks SLICK! all the new gameplay elements, the story, the look and feel of all of it is just great. I'm highly anticipating this one, and will pre-order when that becomes availible.

However, on a different note, stop bashing The Wind Waker. Wind Waker's graphics were underrated in my opinion, I found them spectacular. But then again, i'm a cartoonist. :p

Still though, in comparison, I can see the darker style being more appealing to the Zelda fans who have grown up and want a more mature game like this. But the game still needs to be targeted to new, young fans, and sadly, won't grow up with the old ones. But this game will be a nice break for our teenage Zelda geekdom, which craves darkness and realisim, (for the most part.) and should still please the "kiddies."

ZELDA PWNS AT LIFE!

Who's bashing? I only said certain characters bugged me. I could flow with the rest of it; it's a pretty neat approach. An example of a not-nice-to-look-at character is the booger kid.
 
This game is going to be the best game for the Cube. I was Lucky enought to go to E3 with the rest of Team LA and got to play it. It's the same battle system as Wind Waker (they didnt have the counter moves on the demos, maybe a learned ability later in the game?) He has different attacks when you continue pressing the B button and a new finishing move, when you knock down an enemy you can press the A button to jump on them and put your sword through them... very cool. One of the demos they had in display besides the Horseback riding and dungeaon and one against a boss of the dungeon, was on where Link gets Epona and you have to get a herd of cows(?) inside barns LOL And I also didnt like Wind Waker, only thing i liked was the battle system and the story... 2 much water got boring.
