It's April 30th and TOTK officially launches in 12 days, we are now in imminent leaking territory. The truth is due to a plethora of hacked switches out there and the ease of dumping carts, the leak is a matter of when not if.

So what is your bet?

Who will leak the game and when?

Personally I think the game will leak 4-5 days before official launch - a bit after the carts start ending up in store inventory. Likely an employee of the store will be the culprit (but we will probably never know)

If I had the game early, sure, I will leak it but not tell anyone that it was me. I'd go under an anonymous account and post it, with a new e-mail address that is not Proton Mail.

If I had it early I would keep it to myself and silently enjoy it

Truth is, huge risk no reward

If you mess up Nintendo will pull a Gary Bowser on you and siphon your wages for life - no reason to leak it yourself when you know some other Joe Schmoe will do it regardless and probably very close to same time you would have done it

May 4th.

Star Wars day.
BOTW leaked February 21 2017, 10 days before release

So by that metric it would leak May 2 - so I think May 4 is a pretty good bet

My birthday is on the 4th. hitting 50. Having it on my switch by then will help take some of the sting out of it. I have high expectations, but I'll still be happy if it meets at least half of them.

I'd say about a week early. No sooner than that, but may be later. Nintendo have been shipping games to stores later with the Switch, so it isn't possible for people to get their hands on games as early as it used to be. Higher up positions at warehouses etc. might be able to get it earlier but it's much easier to trace and more risky.

I would post it on 4chan from a burner phone, using McDonald's wifi, in their parking lot, in the middle of the night. I would also wear a mask, and a hoody.

What switch would you use to dump it

Best case scenario

Buy old switch on eBay with cash
Dump game with hacked switch
Then steps as above
