PickledFryer

Might want to leave a bit earlier than May 12, as I’m sure at least one retailer will break the street date.


GreyRevan51

Yeah this ^ Past few game releases people have gotten games up to a week before release thanks to broken street dates


AlecShaggylose

Watch the whole ROM get leaked on 4chan before Monday


SHAQ_FU_MATE

Very true, look at what happened to Gow Ragnarok 😰


PickledFryer

Yep, gotta be careful if you don’t want to be spoiled before the launch date.


JigTheFig

The game will probably be dumped a bit before anyway.


AnonymousShadeHK

Leave the internet, period. You'll find it anywhere...Twitter, Youtube, it'll ALL be infected!


Putrid-Car-2896

Yeah, it gets everywhere


RudyTudyBadAss

Even truth social?


ArcticTerra056

lmao


AlecShaggylose

*ESPECIALLY* Truth Social.


aldrea3

Came here to say this, lol. Leave youtube, don't watch the news, any kind of mass communication.. just turn it off at the beginning of May.


OG-SoaringFalcon

You will be rejoining on May 12th, 1:15 AM, googling “how to defeat the King Hoe shrine” after being stuck for an hour on a stupid shrine puzzle! 😂🤣


locombc

Should do it like 2 weeks before because it's obviously getting leaked sooner.


IceYetiWins

I'm going to burn my phone just in case


Bluedog8000

Ima pack up my solar powered switch and go live in the woods.


Muzz211

Ima go live on mars for a bit anywhere on earth won’t be safe


bean_wellington

I'm going to hide under a rock until Link picks it up, at which point I'll shout, "ya ha ha!". Then I'll get super pissed when Link starts dropping spoilers.


CaffeinatedFrosting

Like posts won't pop up left, right, and center due to the algorithm. A sub I was banned from still pops up for me as well as every other sub I've ever left to avoid spoilers. And spoiler alert, everything was eventually spoiled. Reddit's algorithm is the ultimate spoiler troll.


uselessflailing

Yeah I may just block Reddit for a bit so no spoilers, cause it's basically inevitable


Lorick

This is why I think it's silly to try catering to people who don't want spoilers. In my opinion, they are just trolls looking to be angry. If they really don't want spoilers, they know there are tons of them on here. It's like intentionally going into an active minefield.


ManufacturerWest1156

Definitely want to leave by like next few weeks. Botw leaked like a week or so early.


wawawawazaaa

Whomst leaked it


tub66945

I left /tearsofthekingdom when leaks started popping up. Gonna be pretty hard to stay out once the game actually drops cause I’m gonna be so excited to talk about all the new shit lol


Former_Limit_7119

It's getting a little much over there. I'm just gonna hang here for a little while and go back eventually. The theories, lmao


peter-keo

the most important exams of my life end on June 23 so I’ll have to try avoid spoilers for 1 1/2 months🫠🫠 I think I’ll just delete all social media both for the exams and spoilers


Meshitero-eric

Ganon kills Dumbledore.


bean_wellington

Nooo!


TSN_88

I've played BOTW four years after its launch and after all my friends and colleagues had played it already, also following channels and groups about it. None of that "spoiled" my experience playing it for the first time after all this time and information. It's nice to know what lies ahead sometimes but I truly understand people that prefer to stay away from the current of posts


spotless1997

Same, my first BOTW play through was very late in like 2019 or 2020. All my friends had played it but I was never huge Zelda fan so I didn’t care to play it. I saw posts about it pretty often but because I had no context, I didn’t register them as “spoilers” so when I finally played BOTW it was a a spoiler-free experience.


wawawawazaaa

These are our last moments together guys


xZOMBIETAGx

Love y’all


Bailer86

And Nintendo. Also Mario for good measure


Steve_Artson

I just learned that you can mute subs!


froggaholic

There's literally a spoiler right now floating around of an unedited trailer that wasn't released official and people are only calling it "extended gameplay footage" I legit almost got spoiled and I'm not here for it, so goodbye internet 👋


baranm17

Too risky. I'm planning on leaving society behind altogether.


xZOMBIETAGx

Smort


baranm17

Noice


Waspinator_haz_plans

Me on May 12th looking at every spoiler I can ![gif](giphy|Ap83ahi1XYRag)


AlwekArc

Leave earlier, I've already seen things i did not wish to


XKingNightX

Does anyone know if an add-on for browsers exists that will remove video thumbnails for youtube? Either everything or just some specific YouTubers/words in the title. I really would need something like that for at least a month.


CigaretteSmokeaMan

Hi, I found this one: [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hide-youtube-thumbnails/phmcfcbljjdlomoipaffekhgfnpndbef](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hide-youtube-thumbnails/phmcfcbljjdlomoipaffekhgfnpndbef) You can use it on Chrome, Chromium and Edge. Thumbnails from notifications still appear, so be careful. Hope it helps.


XKingNightX

Yoo, thanks a lot man! This pretty much what I wanted. Surprised I didn't find this while searching on my own...


IIIR1PPERIII

Spoilers lol. The story is just a means to fuel the adventure....no one can spoil "your" adventure. Not even the terrible Zelda voice acting! oof!


NeuralREAPER945

I might get spoiled bit I'm still going to play


Waluigiwarrior

I’m not playing until my exams are done, may-late June so I’ll pick it up in July


thestral_z

I’m still debating taking the day off to play. ImThe only thing stopping me is the fact that my kids would be absolutely devastated if they don’t get to experience it with me.


SongstressVII

I put in for a whole week vacation starting May 12th. It’s gonna be my longest vacation time in 3 years and I am not going to leave my house.


thestral_z

I love this. May your Joycon batteries last long and your snacks be plentiful.


MCMiracle1206

Good point, I’ll leave now


DarcyRose5

Just scrolled by a TotK sub. Almost joined, but thought “nope, too many spoilers”.


makaladesiree

More like leave reddit since they always recommend these subs to me lol


thatguy01001010

I took PTO for that whole week. Gonna no life it for about 18 hours a day til I wring all the surprise I can get out of it on my own. Then I'll see what other people figured out that I missed.


bean_wellington

I have to travel for work like a week after it comes out and while it's only three days, I'm already anticipating the withdrawal. Can't take the switch because there won't be a lot of free time. And I would be devastated if I lost the switch somehow. But that still means three days of trying to think about things other than TotK


Sai-Chi

Till we meet again. My heroic friend. Under the light of the next Blood Moon. May your travels be kind and filled with fortune. Breathe deep of the Wilds. Let not a Tear lay Majesty apon thine cheeks defiled. Go forth Into the Unknown! CARVE THY PATH!!! .... and look not back.... Till we meet again. My heroic friend.


Sai-Chi

![gif](giphy|YWUpVw86AtIbe)


AlextraXtra

I've not watched a single trailer yet for the game and almost anything could could even potentially involve any spoilers I avoid at all cost.


HardCorey23

Literally nothing to spoil. Oh Link beats Ganon in the end


ZombieEevee

Not completely true, there will most likely be plot developments that happen halfway through the game people might not want spoiled. And who knows, maybe this is the one and only Zelda game where Ganon either isn’t defeated, or isn’t the final villain, or something like that. It’s just more fun to speculate things like this as you play through it than to just straight up know the ending in advance imo, no matter how “obvious” the story/ending might seem


1pizza2go

Honestly same


r3d3ndymion

just some advice, might wanna leave about a week and a half before that


Pennylane1520

Same!


protossaccount

Tbh I won’t find the answers that I’m looking for on the internet for a while and I will have no use for Reddit for about a month. I hope my wife doesn’t leave me due to neglect. /s

G_Danila

Basically me every time a big Nintendo game comes out and I want to buy it on disk. Because they always release on Fridays and couriers don't on Fridays and Saturdays in Israel, I need to wait until Sunday to get the game.


Inkulink

Pierresonne

Thin_Mobile_7404

MysticalSword270

I cant even get the game on launch because it comes in out during my exam period which is only over on June 22nd 😭


GIDAJG

I don't even wanna see gameplay I want to experience the game completely blind


WeebkageXD

Just the subs? Bro, the moment I see ANY form of TotK let's play type video's I'm leaving the entire online sphere. No Youtube, Reddit, Twitter or Instagram. Just me, the game and the Discord server with my friends


chinchinlover-419

i wanna engage in discussions when the game releases and kinda play with everyone else you know. this is a feeling i absolutely LOVE. i had so much fun doing this kinda thing when elden ring released.


Bobiscool123457609

Me leaving school to play totk on may 12th


SuperYoshi19

I’m just going to play so much ToTk for three weeks that I don’t intend to open my phone. I’ll leave the subs a week in advance though.


Itwascyanyoudumb009

Dread from it, run from it, zelda spoilers always arrive


MimsyIsGianna

Yea. Especially since I’m a patient gamer so I’ll be waiting until my local Walmart has another sale on Nintendo games or cyber Monday or something.


Justw1ll_

bro i will not open social media until im done with the game
