In a couple of Reddit threads posted on the r/tearsofthekingdom subreddit, one fan had shared that they had received the physical version ofTears of the Kingdom’s Collector’s Edition, with some photos taken of the artbook and part of its contents. It contained a rather relevant story element involving the main characters that could be tied to the story itself. It should be noted that the image in the thread has a spoiler filter, so fans will need to read at their own risk. Moreover, if fans don’t wish to see other details before its official release, it is worth noting that the comments section of the thread might be spoiler filled as well.
If the leak is legitimate, there is bound to be even more to come pouring out eventually on the lead up till launch. Another image posted in a different thread showed off what appeared to be the Collector’s Edition cover, though none of these threads showed off if what was inside was the cartridge ofThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomor if it was just a digital redeem code. If the game is accessible, the likelihood of fans sharing spoilers from these copies is likely, so fans should keep their eyes open for what’s being posted.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomisn’t the only case of aNintendo game being leaked before release, and it certainly won’t be the last of its kind either. There’s only a few weeks before Tears of the Kingdom hits store shelves officially, so fans might just need to bunker down and avoid the most relevant areas where discussions of this game will be taking place if they want to go in completely blind.
