It is not uncommon for games to be leaked pre-release, but this time it seems particularly serious for Nintendo's highly anticipated game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which is set to launch on May 12. Not only has the physical version been sold ahead of schedule, but the digital version of the game has also been leaked online, playable on emulators and cracked consoles. As a result, many in-game and story-related footage are being wildly circulated on social media platforms.
In fact, this is not the first time a Nintendo game has been leaked. To avoid unintentional spoilers, players should exercise caution when browsing social media and video streaming platforms, such as by minimizing searches for content related to Tears of the Kingdom. At the same time, it is hoped that Nintendo will take effective measures to combat these incidents.
