Zelda fans are advising each other to be extra cautious after pirated versions of the upcoming Tears of the Kingdom were leaked online, with footage and streams of the game appearing on the internet.
, it also seems that a number of these copies were ripped to be playable on PC and have also been spotted on multiple torrent sites including footage of the game running on the Steam Deck via an emulator.
Nintendo are of course doing their best to try and mitigate the leak as best as possible, issuing copyright takedown notices to Twitter, Discord and Twitch to try and ensure the offending footage is removed from those sites, and the company has also ordered Discord to shut down a server believed to be a major hub for the Tears of the Kingdom leaks.
It’s not the first time Nintendo have taken swift and decisive action against Tears of the Kingdom leakers.
It’s likely that Nintendo will take further action – both practical and legal – to try and mitigate the leak as best as it can, but for now while browsing the internet for the next couple of weeks, lest they see more than they intended. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom will arrive officially for the Nintendo Switch on May 12, 2023.
