mystery leak
It’s unclear how the new Zelda art book leaked. There is also no information about who is the man or woman who shared the revelations about kingdom tears. Nintendo is also turning a deaf ear to current events: the Japanese company hasn’t commented on the leak, despite concerns from gamers that it could delay the release or at least disrupt the publisher’s marketing plans. Interestingly, many have suggested that the content posted on Reddit is not really a source of major spoilers. However, be warned.
A long wait
Whether the leaked content contains spoilers or not, one thing is certain: the poster of these revelations managed to generate even more interest in the world for the new Zelda. The wait for launch will end on May 12, 2023. This is when the new installment of one of Nintendo’s most important brands will make its debut. The universally acclaimed previous installment, Breath of the Wild, hit stores almost six years ago and became an instant bestseller.
