​

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.

Leaking 2 weeks before release is a new record. Keep up the good work Nintendont!

Smash Bros did it before

You can use like XCI explorer.

even though it does not have the "keys.txt" for the new release?

 

[Asia81]

No rumor, its confirmed that the xci is in the wild

Mine is the 16.3 GB and it works.
Good luck finding it guys, for those interested.

[IRUZZ]

guys, what tool is used to "open" XCI files and have a look inside?

Both Yuzu and Ryujinx have the option to dump romfs if you right click it.

[Chrisssj2]

yeah just saying its real lol. i expect it to be widely available (not on tinfoil) in a couple hours

damn cowards for it not putting on tinfoil

 

[Bladexdsl]

confirmed to running perfectly on Ryujinx and it is using the exact same engine as botw. so also confirmed to be a big DLC

 

[leapingliger]

60 fps running on switch, just need the patch to prevent speed up

 

[hobbledehoy899]

It's using the same engine as BotW, so emulators should have no problem running it. Nintendo is going to be mad.

Unofficial Wii U backport when?

60 fps running on switch, just need the patch to prevent speed up

Speed up? Like the game visibily trying to catch up to the tick speed?
