People have acquired The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom early, so players should avoid potential leaks and spoilers. After the critical success of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in 2017, Nintendo announced The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 during E3 2019, which eventually became The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Ever since then, fans have waited for the game to release, which is currently set for May 12, 2023.
