The whole interview with Aonuma.
article
"TSA: How about the Revolution controller, can you elaborate on how it will work with Twilight Princess?
Aonuma: You can control the sword and shield with the unique setup of the Revolution controller, allowing the player to experience combat in Zelda like never before. When you play the game on GameCube, the fighting mechanics are based in a third-person perspective. However, on the Revolution, the battles shift into a first person mode, which allows the player to really feel like they are dueling a foe rather than playing a game. You should see some of the boss battles in this mode. Of course, you can use the controller to aim your bow, your hookshot or your boomerang, as well as some other items. The amount of force you use while handling the controller will also determine how far or fast your items go. There are also some puzzles specially developed on the Revolution version that will require the input from the Revolution's controller. These puzzles will be solved a different way on the GameCube."
Is this real?

EDIT: After reading this, it's a fake. April Fools gone bad. It disappearing for a bit was suspicious, and the wording just isn't right. And why would Aonuma talk so candidly to The Hylia of all people.
BS.

Here's what lil I was able to get from the Original. TSA = TheSilentAssassin or Adventurer EA = Eiji Aonuma
EA: I'm very good friends with the two women who are responsible for the Zelda manga. The manga are their personal takes on the video games, although they try to remain faithful to the source material. They have proposed an animated feature film based on their works once before, but there were some issues with the manga conflicting with the source material. We are opening our own animation studio,
as you may have heard, and one of the tentative projects slated is a Zelda anime. Whether or not this ever becomes a reality is still yet to be seen. Only time will tell.
TSA: So the decision to delay Twilight Princess last year was to allow more time to implement this Revolution functionality?
EA: Well, not really. The decision to finally go ahead with that plan was made around the time of the D.I.C.E. summit.
With the original delay, we wanted to push back the game because we were having major trouble with the wolf mechanics. Many of my team members raised concerns with how unnatural the wolf moved. You may have read in the official Nintendo publication of the US this month how my assistant director, Makoto Miyanaga, was concerned initially with the wolf gameplay segments. However,
I assure you they are quite spectacular now, and you will personally get to see for yourself at E3.
TSA: Why have you guys been so quiet about Twilight Princess since the delay announcement? No new screens or trailers have surfaced in months.
EA: The element of surprise! Truthfully, though, we felt we were giving out too much content. The reaction back at the original unveiling of the game was amazing, it was a shame I was not present to witness it. At last year's E3, I was really happy with the turn out for the Twilight Princess booth. However, after we returned to Japan, Miyamoto and I sat down and discussed if it may be good to keep.
EA: As it turns out, not only can you play Twilight Princess on Revolution, when you put the game into the Revolution system, you have the option of an "enhanced" mode of the game. What do I mean by that? We will be revealing that at E3, along with our other projects.
That's how the original interview went, I've never seen the part about the sword and shield and 1st person in the original.

But yeah I was wondering too why they'd talk to some little site and divulge all this info.

The site overhyped the release of the interview...
They released it, nothing about the actual sword fighting.
They later added that part in.
Tomorrow is April Fool's Day.

Interesting...

It should be noted that the original site is "down". www.thehylia.com - However, check the page icons... If the site was truly suspended, wouldn't those be gone as well?

“I strongly oppose creating a hoax for any purpose (except the one I’m concocting now for April Fools - hint).”
