The game isn't designed to take advantage of the Revolution controller, so it would, in fact, make a lousy big debut title for the new system. Nintendo has already vowed to have Mario there on launch day; he's far more adaptable to showing of the remotroller, and is a guaranteed system mover. If Nintendo shot both big bullets in their gun at Revo launch, they'd have nothing left to carry sales later on; they need another follow up Zelda to carry Rev's 2nd or 3rd holiday season (likely 3rd; expect a big buildup to remotroller kiler-app Metroid for the second).
Not to mention the fact that they'd have to completely redo the art assets so the game didn't look previous-gen; Nintendo can't afford to have that franchise lose any of its lustre.
And that, folks, is why Twilight Princess will be on GC this spring, just like Nintendo has said all along. End of story.
