If you are among the very large number of people eagerly anticipating the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, beware, copies of the game have leaked and people are beginning to stream and post spoilers online.
Given that the game is the most anticipated release to come out this year, it’s not entirely surprising that a Tears of the Kingdom leak would be out in the wild early, and people would already be playing it. In fact, we are jealous. That said, if you want to go into the game completely blind, be very careful about anything connected to Zelda when you are on social media.
A common good practice to avoid spoilers when a game has leaked early is to mute any words associated with it. If you are a Twitter user, go to your Settings, and in the search bar, type Mute and Block. In this section, you add various words, phrases, and hashtags you don’t want to appear in your notifications or home timeline. You can remove these muted words once the game has been released.
Unfortunately, being so connected to the internet can be a blessing and a curse for gamers. There are some people who will go out of their way to try and spoil games for people who want to be surprised by their own playthroughs. With so many secrets and lore implications at play, like the existence of the Zonai, there will be plenty you want to learn on your own. The Tears of the Kingdom leak leaves the potential open for someone to ruin that for you. With this in mind, we also highly recommend avoiding going into any comment section for the next couple of weeks.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom looks to live up to a mountain of hype following Breath of the Wild. If you want the best experience possible without anything being ruined for you, you must take the steps and precautions to avoid letting someone dampen your experience when you can get your hands on the game.
