You can, and it's actually called "homebrew," which is one of those
words that always sounds like a neologism (a newly coined word) but in
fact originated in the mid-nineteenth-century, meaning "an alcoholic
beverage made at home." Go beer, then, and what's more, go
who'd-a-thunk-it hacks that let you for-real load Linux and "embrace
your inner penguin" on an unassuming white box half the size of a
toaster.
You'll need a GameCube SD card adapter, a 1GB (or higher) SD card, a
copy of Zelda (for the Wii), and of course, a Nintendo Wii itself. Read more at PCWorld. Complete instructions and files are here.
