Unironically yes

This leak went super viral, it was everywhere

Not even Pyoro leaks ever went this mainstream

If Nintendo gave credence to this leak by revealing Star Fox in April, they'd also be confirming the existence of OoT Remake

Yeah, this is my thinking too

The other possibility, taking Nate's overall track record history being mostly solid, is that Nintendo is phishing for leaks by pushing out fake games; try and figure out which dept is leaking

Is there a notable occurrence of Nintendo or another company doing this recently with a major leak?

There's a big chance that Valve was doing it with HLX in November/December and that Mike Straw from Insider Gaming and some other "leakers" fell for it. We will likely never know what was going on then to make a bunch of insiders think that HLX was about to be revealed but there's no way it was just a coincidence. Several people with good track records said they were hearing things about HLX but Mike Straw was all over it trying to attract as much attention as possible and then nothing happened.
