​

Nintendo games have the tendency to get leaked days, if not weeks, ahead from the proper release date, and as usual, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is no exception, more so given the anticipation of the sequel to the highly acclaimed Breath of the Wild, released 6 years ago.

The game seems to have been dumped today, May 1st, and shared online already in the familiar NSP and XCI formats, with many already playing it through Ryujinx and Yuzu, though how good compatibility is there with the title is not known yet, but some have cited good performance compared to Switch, which seems to still share the same shuggy gameplay and performance drops that its predecessor had as well in real hardware.

As usual, remember that we don't allow sharing links to ROM sites of any kind, so please avoid posting them.

This game is one of the major Nintendo releases. I hope it lives up to the hype. But then again, at least in my case, Nintendo has never let me down through my 32yrs old gaming life.

This isnt even worth anymore putting on the front page, when this happens with every Nintendo 1st party release, yawn.
It only attracts the pathetic dwellers that proudly pirate a game from a company they hate so much but still play (and enjoy) their games.
Both things get boring after some time.

Can I ask for one simple spoiler?
Can someone tell me if it's possible to repair weapons this time? If not, I'm not gonna bother getting this - even for free.

Link is a terrible character,.....in Mario Kart™ 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch™. Therefore this game will be okayish at best. 10/10 IGN.

I used Awoo Installer v1.3.5 with the USB Loader option, installed from my Windows PC using the NX-USB Loader app, not the .jar.

Works perfectly.

Sending copies out early to stores, reviewers, etc.

Then there’s those who have access to Nintendo’s download servers.

Security isn’t necessarily the issue here.

And I'd venture the chance that Nintendo's behaviour towards YouTubers, homebrewers, and generally small fry minding their own business probably pushes several people to think 'you know what, fuck you' and leak things themselves.

So far it seems like the exact same tedium as BotW. Weapons still break as easily as ever. Link can't run more than 2 seconds. What a hero ! The colors are so oversaturated ! I had to change my settings to not become blind. Graphically it looks worse than BotW so far.

 

[SonicRings]

Welp! Still don't care enough to try it! Have fun to those who do!

Not to mention charging $70 for what is essentially a PS3 game. Nintendo never learn the lessons they should when they're down bad, and then their ego grows ridiculously massive the second they see even a modicum of success. Got to be one of the least stable and least sensible business models in all of gaming.

The thing is regardless how much Nintendo charge people would still buy it.

If only switch games had denuvo, this wouldn't have happened

And that gives them the green light to charge $70 for everything from now on, regardless of quality. Eventually that will hurt sales and perhaps even turn their next console into another Wii U, then the cycle begins again.

Playstation and Xbox first party games are also $70

It's not real, both the 1 link download and the 4 link download are trolls. First reported by me and confirmed by linuxares in this thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/when-do-you-think-zelda-totk-will-leak.632030/page-6#post-10143329

Anyone on a private tracker knows it's leaked, I've got it on right now.

FYI
XCI Size is 16.33 GB ((17,536,620,544 bytes)
NSP Size is 15.9 GB (17,150,647,554 bytes)

Anyone having luck getting the NSP to go in Yuzu, had no issues in Ryujinx but getting yyelled at by yuzu for no crypto revision or key area

You probably needs the keys.
