Wii Zelda image

I came across a website from France mentioning the Zelda for the Wii that's presumably been in development for a year. Along with the blurb was a striking image showing Link, Epona and a few Kokiri in a sunset forest.

Here are the links:

Révolution online (main page--the Zelda info is halfway down)

I don't know where or when this image surfaced, and I'm not very good at keeping up with the gaming industry. I don't know if it's a screenshot, fan art or a combination thereof--Link and Epona look like the official artwork for OoT. But if we really see a forest like this I'll be very excited!

Edit: I've removed the direct link to the image as it seemed to be causing viewing problems.

Edit2: Very strange, it no longer appears for me either... I'll try posting a downsized version directly:

For some reason the photo is not showing up for me.

EDIT:
Hmm... now that I can see the image, I have to say that the pose looks awfully familiar. And, the style of Link's face looks awfully familiar. Maybe this is not real.

For some reason the photo is not showing up for me.

OK, I've tried inserting it directly. If not, the link to the page itself shows the image halfway down.

Edit: I've run into problems viewing it as well. Maybe a direct link to the image isn't allowed. In the french page, right-clicking on the image has gotten it to work.

Wow, I can actually read French pretty well! High school isn't a total waste. But I'm not seeing the image either, I'm afraid. I think the site deleted it or something, I can't see it in either link.

I see the image, and, well, it looks like OoT to me! I dunno, i doubt the info is true.

That's what I though too.... But then there was that beautiful open-ended forest and arching trees in the trailers for TP that never made it to the final game.

lol..are you kidding me?

Haha... it's OOT artwork pasted onto a forest background.

Oh well ... I still think it's pretty and can always have wishful thinking that a real forest will one day make it into Zelda

Hope is always good: isn't it inextricably linked to the virtue of courage?

Yes that is quite fake.
Although the French are a bit late for April Fool's day.

You referring to the end part? It means it's delayed... though the use of "des retards" makes it seem as though it's to have "multiple delays"... odd...

Though I've been speaking french since I was 4, plus the fact that I've lived in a french province all my life.

After reading the text, I figured that would come up sooner or later... Not to be confused with the English version--in French "retard" means delay (I think it's something most people get used to with Zelda games). Maybe the "des retards" (plural) is a result of the multiple delays of TP.

Off-topic, but I'm 150 km East of you.

They mean "delay" thats what it would translate into.

well. I can see the pic. and all I can saw is... WOW if the graphics were like that on the wii that would be so awesome.

yeah lol that's badly shopped. I'm not going to say the forest is fake but most likely it is. I don't quite understand why they didn't put a forest in TP, how hard could it be to chuck heaps of trees in spotty rows in an area. Wouldn't make any difference to the game story. They could have done it in one of the multiple open fields.

The lack of a forest in TP was a disappointment. Especially since one of the earliest screenshots that Nintendo showed us was of Link in a heavily wooded forest.

BTW I find that pic to be pretty funny. It's clearly artwork from OoT photoshopped.

?? does this looks familiar??:

yes of course it looks familiar
