These Zelda Wii images are almost certainly fake

Update: As expected, the screenshots are indeed fake (thanks Caelum!). Case closed!
Please know that I think the screenshots below are fake. I don’t want to mislead anyone into thinking that the images are real or that they even have a strong possibility of being real. I just don’t think it’s likely that they are real. With that said, before I get flooded with emails about this, I thought I might as well share the shots with you guys. The images have been popping up on numerous forums, but just make sure you don’t take the images too seriously!
