The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is nearly here, and as it has been with many other games, spoilers seem to have begun to leak online early. In this case, it appears people have gotten a hold of the art book that comes in the collector’s edition, so be safe out there, friends!
We aren’t going to be posting any of the spoilers here or linking out to them, but we wanted to share this PSA to let you know to be careful as you are exploring the internet, as the risk of having something ruined for you appears to be greater now.
We also encourage people, if they’d like, to mute keywords on social media platforms to be safe, including The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kindom, Link, Hyrule, Ganon, etc.
I’ve taken a look at these images and there isn’t much context to them, but it does include enemies, locations, outfits, and other items that many would love to be surprised by as they journey through Hyrule once more.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be released on Nintendo Switch on May 12, 2023, and we received a brand-new look at the highly-anticipated game at the latest Nintendo Direct alongside the reveal of the collector’s edition and Link amiibo.
For more, check out our breakdown of the latest trailer, the news that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be $70 at launch, why it appears the game may include a classic Ocarina of Time enemy, and how it looks to have the largest file size of any first-party Switch game.
