I am not terribly invested in a canon (so maybe I shouldn't be in here), but I always liked the idea that the games were, in a very real sense, legends, so with each telling, the same characters, locations, and basic events go down (or depending on where we are the development in the story cycle, the characters and other elements may or may not make an appearance) but it gets messed with a little in each iteration, varying wildly over time, and sometimes adopting really different themes and devices. Hence, Hyrule, Zelda, Link, and Ganon will always stay pretty fixed in their roles, but everything else can kinda move about (Impa always with a support role of some kind, certain towns being prominent, now we got a wise old tree).
Obviously, that doesn't gel with official declarations and the growing, more insistent timeline connections within the games themselves (that are still kinda confused, but Skyward Sword really needs to be the first game chronologically somehow, and that bleeds into the presentation of the game without really adding much of interest).
Anyway, Zelda Musou looks like Skyward Sword from what's been shown, so maybe it'll be a weird, Dynasty Warriors-style retelling of Skyward Sword specifically? Or another game (Twilight Princess? Ocarina?)? Of the "legend" as a whole?
Also, Zelda Musou looks fun. _________________

Oh, hey, yeah. That seems about right.
And maybe whatever is going on in LoZ-AoL. _________________

Are there games that explicitly mention other games other than:
LoZ-AoL
Ocarina-Majora's-Wind Waker
ALTTP-ALBW (I'm assuming, and maybe Link's Awakening?) _________________

If somebody inside Nintendo wants to turn Ocarina 3DS into an internal 3D Zelda Classic, that'd be rockin'. _________________

I must confess I spent little to no time with Skyward Sword, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks. _________________
