Beware of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Spoilers; Major Leak
A leak of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has electrified the game's community. The leaked content contain various spoilers and deprive you of the surprize on release.
Leaks and spoilers of upcoming games are the bane of developers and fans alike. Thrilling anticipation of the release can be disrupted, or even completely destroyed by the spoiler minefield.
A similar situation has befallen the new installment of The Legend of Zelda a few months before its release. A lot of previously unknown content related to Tears of the Kingdom has surfaced on Reddit. The topic began to take over the Internet at a rapid pace.
Leaked content
What is the leaked content about? A 200-page artbook has prematurely hit the web. Posts published on Reddit (via The Gamer) include mostly concept arts, as well as promo materials. There are also some things verging on spoilers, such as character designs and weapons available in the game. The artbook also includes drawings and renderings of landscapes that are likely to appear in Tears Of The Kingdom.
The leak has attracted the attention of many gamers, who are reviewing the contents and meticulously examining them. The first analyses suggest that the game will include new mechanics and features, and one of them - relating to the issue of weapons' wear and tear - will probably not be to the liking of fans of the brand (via Jeff Grubb's Twitter). More details can be found here, but be warned of possible spoilers.
Mystery leaker
It is unclear how the artbook from the new Zelda got leaked. There is also no information on who the man, or woman, is who shared the revelations about Tears Of The Kingdom. Nintendo also remains deaf to current events - the Japanese company has not commented on the leak, despite gamer concerns that it could slow down the release, or at least disrupt the publisher's marketing plans. Interestingly, many have suggested that the content published on Reddit is not really a source of major spoilers. Nevertheless, feel warned.
Long wait
Whether the leaked content contains spoilers or not, one thing is certain - the poster of these revelations has succeeded in sparking even more worldwide interest in the new Zelda. The wait for the release will come to an end on May 12, 2023. This is when the new installment of one of Nintendo's most important brands will debut. The previous, universally praised installment, Breath of the Wild, hit store shelves almost six years ago and became an instant bestseller.
