Here’s an official public service announcement to all Zelda fans, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has leaked early. There is currently more than one person in the world who has gotten their hands on the game ahead of schedule, presumably because of retailers breaking the game’s street date. As a result, spoilers are surfacing all over the Internet. If you’re interested in checking out these links, you can find a mega thread of them on the Gaming Leaks and Rumors Reddit page. That said, the purpose of this article is not to promote the leaks, but to warn Zelda fans of spoilers.ย
If you’re worried about spoilers, you’re going to want to be careful while browsing Reddit and potentially mute specific words on Twitter. And of course, be careful on YouTube as well, as YouTubers may decide to cover the leaks before release. Thankfully, Zelda isn’t very narrative-driven, so there aren’t massive spoilers afoot, but there are surprises Nintendo hasn’t revealed and other notable details now floating around that are best avoided if you’re looking forward to the game.ย
