Warning: Tears of the Kingdom Collector’s Edition Art Book Has Been Leaked Online
Posted on February 19 2023 by Rod Lloyd
Warning to all Zelda fans looking to avoid spoilers for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: the game’s Collector’s Edition art book has been leaked, in its entirety, online.
Announced during the most recent Nintendo Direct, the Tears of the Kingdom Collector’s Edition will include a physical version of the game, a Steelbook case, an Iconart steel poster, a pin set, and the aforementioned art book. The Collector’s Edition is scheduled to release on May 12th, 2023 for a suggested retail price of $129.99 USD.
A .pdf file containing pictures of every page in the art book was shared on the Tears of the Kingdom subreddit earlier today and has since been shared around various online communities. For the sake of authentication, Zelda Dungeon has viewed this file and has determined that the leak is very likely the genuine article. The leak is comprised of 204 pages of concept artwork, including the book’s cover and the pages seen above in the Collector’s Edition promotional image released by Nintendo. The art book pictured in the leak is a Japanese copy.
Zelda Dungeon has decided not to publish any links to the .pdf file mentioned above, any images from the art book not directly released by Nintendo, and any specific information about Tears of the Kingdom gleaned directly from the leak. Readers who wish to view the leaked images should seek them out themselves.
Of course, we encourage all readers who wish to avoid Tears of the Kingdom spoilers to take the necessary precautions when on social media and within other online communities. Now that the leaked images are out there, we expect them to be shared extensively online.
Nintendo has not yet commented on this leak. Stay tuned to Zelda Dungeon for further updates.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is scheduled to release on May 12th, 2023.
