Spoilers for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are Leaking Online
You should probably stay off the Internet for a while if concerned.
With The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom being just a week and a half away from release, it stands to reason that some people are getting their copies earlier than they should.

Well, this obviously means that there are now spoilers out there for Tears of the...
