I remembered that Reggie promised a collector's edition over a year and a half ago in an interview with Gamespot, and searched the site but could not find the piece. Then I decided to use some engines, and pulled up not only the quote, but a direct link to where the quote *was* but no longer *is*.
The quote: "We [Nintendo] want them to leave feeling that 'Wow, Zelda is going to be a huge hit and I want it now. And I'm going to go to my local retailer and put a deposit for the super premium edition of the game,' which we'll make available."

It's no longer there unless both my eyes and Firefox's search page are not functioning properly. Looks like the interview was cut off halfway, with no second page that I can see (revisionist history, Gamespot -- nice).

I mean, I don't know. Based on the other stuff he was talking about in relation to Zelda, about the Q4 05 release date, etc, there's no way in hell he was referring to a Wii version as the "super premium edition." The fact that we've heard nothing about a limited version so close to release and the fact that as far as I can tell Gamespot removed it completely from the interview sure makes me think that there's no chance of an actual limited edition or any kind of pre-order bonus whatsoever. I could be wrong, but the game is going to sell Wiis whether it comes in a metal case or a paper sleeve so it'll probably be another example of Nintendo doing just enough to get by and not a millimeter more.
If it ends up that there is no deluxe version of Zelda, I really hope some interviewer remembers this quote and really lays into Reggie. This is like Iwata's "Smash Bros available at launch" lie when Sakurai hadn't even been asked to make the game yet.
