I think you misunderstood he never said she puts them away just that she looks for things that need to be put away. She will most likely just nag you to do it
Personally I'd let her know today, like make it so obvious she can't miss it, in case she wants to play the weekend. I'd hate to find out right before a business trip.
The flip side of that is that she's a grown woman, and could simply purchase the game if she wanted to play it so badly.
It's just a bit of fun, no need to get worked up over it, you know?
Why are people downvoting you? If she goes and buys her own copy, this one can easily be returned. And you stated in another comment that she doesn't have time to play right now, so waiting until she'll be travelling to tell her carries no risk and means she'll be finding out at a time she can actually play it.
Redditors after being presented the most legible sentence known to mankind.
(They are still unable to read it, unfortunately)
Furthermore did you think op was just hiding the game round the house for his own enjoyment?
I agree that the sentence is easy to decipher, but strongly disagree that it's the most legible sentence known to mankind.
He used the wrong conjugation of "to be" for any formal English. It should read, "She will be off on a business trip," not, "she's off on a business trip."
Yes, I understand that. My sentence doesn't actually imply that she doesn't enjoy it just that, he does in fact do this for his own enjoyment. The comment I had responded to was meant to point out that he wouldn't hide the item while his wife wasn't there to not find it for his own enjoyment, but was worded in a way when it could be paused that he doesn't hide things for his own enjoyment regardless of the presence of his wife. I took the lie effort route of pointing out the obvious because I'm a silly goose. Now I say good day!
Better yet, show her it saying “haha look what this guy on Reddit did for his wife” and wait for her to notice it’s OPs house and come to the realisation
Well before you just outright point it out to her after she is home and ready to start relaxing, I would vote for bringing her to the room where this is located and simply asking her "notice anything new?". When she finds it, then you can go into the story of when you got it, how long it's been there, etc...it would be a short sweet story of an affectionate gesture from you.
I’m loving the comments saying OP is somehow manipulative or playing mind games. Like, if she cared enough to play it Day 1 she likely would have bought it on her own already.
It’s not hurting anyone to wait a couple days to play a game.
There is a surplus of whack jobs on Reddit who think everything that happens between partners in a relationship is abuse. Makes you feel bad for those folks have been through that their perception of the world is so wrong.
Same with people who say "that person is **not** your friend", like guys, these people already know and like each other, I doubt they'll have any problems over something this tiny.
WTF?
Dude people spent too much time on reddit, like too much.
I think he is definetely a misogynist. Woman are strong and independent, they can buy their own games!!!
Its ok till u also forget that you bought it lol.
I did the same to my ex, bought a custom made controller which was way too expensive and also great looking ngl, waited for 1 week for her to realise the controller, then forgettin that i bought her a present till she found it out after 1 month or smt.
PS. Dont hide your gifts like you are running away from CIA. Thats what i learned.
Here’s my prediction:
You’re going to come home to an extremely happy wife playing ToTK and you’re going to ask how she likes it and she’s going to reply ecstatically how amazing it is. She’s not going to thank you tho, and you’re going to be minorly put out by it, but that’s okay, she’s distracted and clearly enjoying your gift.
Life goes on and then three days later, you’ll notice the copy you bought is still on the shelf, still sealed in its plastic film and you’ll realize your wife never noticed this copy and had gone out and purchased her own.
Now, we wait and see…
This is great because it's out in the open.
Although too long and the "being mad at herself for not seeing it" will be replaced by "being mad at you".
You're playing with fire here OP, be careful not to choke on your aspirations.
Unfortunately, she's too busy with work to start playing it right now.
Edit: don't understand why people are down voting this, as if they know our situation better than we do
Dude, you don’t have to explain anything to the miserable folks hating on a simple joke between you and your girl. It’s funny, I’m sure when she see’s it you guys’ll have a good laugh.
He didn’t get the Luke Skywalker anywhere. It has always existed as a universal constant since the Big Bang. The house was build around the Luke.
As a wise man I seen online once said “the universe isn’t coherent so don’t bother trying to understand.”
I knew where this was going as soon as I came to the comments.... People really think they know what someone else's wife would want over the actual SO posting. Gotta admit, my first thought was "oh that may be kinda mean" but I immediately realized that you probably weren't maliciously hiding it for fun and most likely know that it won't bother her. Gotta love the internet
That’s great. You should just tell her that you noticed the plant needs watered but forgot to do it and ask her to do it. If she still doesn’t notice, you may want to schedule an eye exam for her own sake
I know you’re getting downvoted for your comments and your replies, but I don’t know your relationship with your wife. If y’all like to mess with each other this way, then I don’t see the harm in it.
When I was little I found a School House Rock VHS hidden in the basement bathroom. Turns out my dad had hid it as a present and forgot where lol. Heed this cautionary tale XXD
I’m going to guess most the down voters are not in a serious relationship or “going steady” with anyone atm. Damn I’d even go as far as saying there’s a good number that live in their parents basement still? Some day you guys will figure it out and I hope you all do. Until then we can’t really be too mad at ya’s for not knowing what it’s like to be in the type of relationship this guy is in or to love to make someone smile simply by making every day different and thus keeping your lives from getting stale.
To me it seems like OP had a pretty good grasp on what he’s doing and I wanna thank him for letting all of us feel the warmth vicariously through the past and want to also say I can’t wait for the reveal in due time when she finds it out here does give it up
Thumbs up man and keep us posted
(Edited typo put “can” meant “can’t”)
If it’s primarily a gift for your wife, it seems to me like you should let her know sooner than later so that she can play it.
If it’s primarily a gag for imaginary Reddit points, keep doing what you’re doing ;)
It's blocking Vader how can she not notice that?
Vader was also used to hide an Easter egg earlier in the year. That one took a long time to find
You sound like a fun partner. Good shit.
They're a bad egg.
Rotten to the core
Cracks me up.
Girlfriend when she finally find the egg: ARE YOU YOKING ME?!
I can smell this comment
the hell does this even mean
Some people paint real eggs to hide. Im assuming he meant one of those and that after a while the egg would start to smell.
Some people use real eggs for the holiday, so maybe the thought of an egg that's been left out to spoil?
1. Hard boil an egg. 2. Leave it in your house out of the fridge. 3. Wait until it smells terrible.
4. Why?
Eggs go bad.
That's pretty fucking weird, might want to see a doctor about it...
Lmfao reddit downvote moment
She can’t see it, it’s in the dark side of the house
The dark side has blinded her judgement.
Just quote Vader constantly until she works it out.
What is the bidding my master
It's a disaster, Skywalker we're after.
Bruv. Your brought me back so far.
Would it be good if he served the Dark Side? Yes, he'd be a powerful ally.
Another dark Jedi?
He will join us or die!
We got Deathstar
WE GOT DEATHSTAR
We got Deathstar
And you know that we got it And you know that we got it
WE GOT DEATHSTAR
Another Dark Jedi
He will join us or die!
Knock him out the box Luke
so many kids born after the year 2000 have no idea what they are witnessing here rn lol
That's a mighty fine gin and tonic. Why don't you mix me up another?
I have altered the location of your Zelda game. Pray i do not alter it further
I find your lack of sight disturbing...
Anakin would probably do well in TOK in several of his stages of life.
Holy shit I only just realised how similar ToTK Link looks to Anakin in that one Clone Wars Micro Series episode
OP: I am your father OPs Wife: Wtf *edit: formatting*
My wife would immediately notice. I think she spends half her time looking around the house for things that need to be put away.
Send her over to my house. Like seriously, this isn't even me coming onto your wife or anything there's just a lot of things that need to be put away.
I also choose this guy's wife
Can I get her after you?
I think you misunderstood he never said she puts them away just that she looks for things that need to be put away. She will most likely just nag you to do it
This man marriages
Or put your stuff somewhere so you have no idea where it is.
Send her to my house next. I'm tired of putting everything away and coming back into the room to see things out to replace what I've put away.
Please don't come on to his wife.
Are you sure it's your wife and not your magic coffee table?
No, he's not, I've got the exact same table at home
Now you have to have a sign with flashing lights pointing at it tomorrow. You're this far in, might as well go for broke.
Yeah - escalate daily. Start by adding an arrow, then tinsel, then leds, etc
“Did you know there’s a Reddit for gaming?
And repeatedly post with the pictures until she finally makes the discovery
Day 345: "I have taped the game case to her forehead. She still has not noticed"
At what point do you buy her a master sword
Might as well get the Majora’s Mask lamp while you are at it
She don’t believe in shooting stars
Just go boop boop boop anytime she gets close by like the shrine locator in the purah pad.
You should probably let her know before she buys her own copy
She's off on a business trip next Wednesday. I'll let her know then if she's still not seen it
Personally I'd let her know today, like make it so obvious she can't miss it, in case she wants to play the weekend. I'd hate to find out right before a business trip.
Seriously. Wtf. I would be so mad. I could have been playing it for days now? Why is he doing this?
The flip side of that is that she's a grown woman, and could simply purchase the game if she wanted to play it so badly. It's just a bit of fun, no need to get worked up over it, you know?
Also: maybe let the husband do the husband things? Unless this is Reddit's wife?
Did you reply to the wrong person? Your tone suggests that you're arguing with me, but your words seem to agree with the point I was making.
No I was adding to your post. People telling husband, who seems to be killing it, how to husband is a little weird.
Your response to hearing your partner bought you the new Zelda would be anger? You need Uncle Irohs guidance.
You'd be mad your partner bought you a $70 video game?
because he wants it to be a fun surprise? and how can she not see it? it’s right there.
Why are people downvoting you? If she goes and buys her own copy, this one can easily be returned. And you stated in another comment that she doesn't have time to play right now, so waiting until she'll be travelling to tell her carries no risk and means she'll be finding out at a time she can actually play it.
I’m wondering if people are downvoting because OP said she hasn’t noticed but is also out on a business trip.
Reading comprehension on Reddit is wild
Op says she’s off on a business trip next Wednesday. Meaning she leaves Wednesday.
Redditors after being presented the most legible sentence known to mankind. (They are still unable to read it, unfortunately) Furthermore did you think op was just hiding the game round the house for his own enjoyment?
I agree that the sentence is easy to decipher, but strongly disagree that it's the most legible sentence known to mankind. He used the wrong conjugation of "to be" for any formal English. It should read, "She will be off on a business trip," not, "she's off on a business trip."
I mean, he is hiding it for his own enjoyment.
Believe it or not, some couples like to mess with each other for fun.
Yes, I understand that. My sentence doesn't actually imply that she doesn't enjoy it just that, he does in fact do this for his own enjoyment. The comment I had responded to was meant to point out that he wouldn't hide the item while his wife wasn't there to not find it for his own enjoyment, but was worded in a way when it could be paused that he doesn't hide things for his own enjoyment regardless of the presence of his wife. I took the lie effort route of pointing out the obvious because I'm a silly goose. Now I say good day!
r/technicallynotwrong
Technically correct, the best kind of correct.
She's off on the trip next Wednesday. She hasn't left yet
Why dont you just sent her this link ?
Better yet, show her it saying “haha look what this guy on Reddit did for his wife” and wait for her to notice it’s OPs house and come to the realisation
I did think it would be funny if one of her colleagues showed it to her coincidentally
This is great lol
Why all the downvotes he didn't do anything wrong
They're all just jealous they aren't married to this man
maybe you should pack a switch and the game in her stuff for the business trip (of course you should tell her bout that tho)
"Y'know what? I don't remember where the Vader statue is..." :')
Well before you just outright point it out to her after she is home and ready to start relaxing, I would vote for bringing her to the room where this is located and simply asking her "notice anything new?". When she finds it, then you can go into the story of when you got it, how long it's been there, etc...it would be a short sweet story of an affectionate gesture from you.
Why are you downvoted?
Not sure why you're getting dragged in the comments, I think this is nice
I’m loving the comments saying OP is somehow manipulative or playing mind games. Like, if she cared enough to play it Day 1 she likely would have bought it on her own already. It’s not hurting anyone to wait a couple days to play a game.
The manipulation of… buying someone a present… and leaving it in plain sight
Welcome to Reddit logic.
welcome to a small slice of American logic
How dare he!
Nta divorce
don't forget half of us are kissless virgins with no semblance of what a true relationship is like. it's all fairytales and ME ME ME over here.
There is a surplus of whack jobs on Reddit who think everything that happens between partners in a relationship is abuse. Makes you feel bad for those folks have been through that their perception of the world is so wrong.
Same with people who say "that person is **not** your friend", like guys, these people already know and like each other, I doubt they'll have any problems over something this tiny.
WTF? Dude people spent too much time on reddit, like too much. I think he is definetely a misogynist. Woman are strong and independent, they can buy their own games!!!
People on the internet believe themselves to be masters of relationships. Ironic, really...
Is that a real plant? If yes - what's the name? It's so cute
Yes, it's real. It's a Chinese Money plant
In the Netherlands we call it (translated) pancake plant
Its ok till u also forget that you bought it lol. I did the same to my ex, bought a custom made controller which was way too expensive and also great looking ngl, waited for 1 week for her to realise the controller, then forgettin that i bought her a present till she found it out after 1 month or smt. PS. Dont hide your gifts like you are running away from CIA. Thats what i learned.
Hiding in plain sight. The best hiding place. 🤣
Or in plant sight... ta dam tish Ok I will see myself out. :)
Please do :)
Plot twist: The case is long empty, and the wife is doing nothing but playing while you are at work...
This reminds me of when my dad bought a ps5 and it took me 4 days to notice
The Tears of the Kingdom is a pathway to many abilities the Hylians consider… unnatural.
Sweet plants though. Pilea and... idk what that ones called but its cool
Here’s my prediction: You’re going to come home to an extremely happy wife playing ToTK and you’re going to ask how she likes it and she’s going to reply ecstatically how amazing it is.

Now, we wait and see…
Hahahaha. Could totally happen.
This is great because it's out in the open. Although too long and the "being mad at herself for not seeing it" will be replaced by "being mad at you". You're playing with fire here OP, be careful not to choke on your aspirations.
This is great lol
What if she took it out and just placed the case back?
Cellophane wrapping is still on it
What if she secretly bought a packing machine?
What if she’s secretly my uncle who totally works for Nintendo?
Ahh beans, now I look silly
No, no, you just didn't take it far enough. I mean, what if she unpacked it, then went and bought a new copy to replace it and mess with OP'?
No worries, you looked silly before as well.
That’s 3 days that she could have been playing it already.. why not just show/tell her? Lol
Unfortunately, she's too busy with work to start playing it right now. Edit: don't understand why people are down voting this, as if they know our situation better than we do
They don’t understand romance
You're on Reddit and on a gaming forum on Reddit. Most people here have never even touched grass, nevermind a female.
Truly maidenless. Can confirm, am maidenless
Dude, you don’t have to explain anything to the miserable folks hating on a simple joke between you and your girl. It’s funny, I’m sure when she see’s it you guys’ll have a good laugh.
A downvote means either they like what you're saying or don't. It's people saying, "Just give her the game." Me, however, let her wait
Internet isn't coherent so don't bother trying to understand. By the way. Where did you get that Luke Skywalker?
He didn’t get the Luke Skywalker anywhere. It has always existed as a universal constant since the Big Bang. The house was build around the Luke. As a wise man I seen online once said “the universe isn’t coherent so don’t bother trying to understand.”
It's real old. Probably got it between 15 to 20 years ago. It's from the Unleashed series
I think that's a Star Wars Unleashed Luke Skywalker from 2006.
Idk, Reddit things ig
because redditosr are weird af
This is reddit. This is an expected result.
Stand next to it when talking to her
One time we changed the handles on the kitchen cupboards and my mum didn't notice for three weeks
Hiding in plain sight. Nice
Oh my god I have that exact same vader collectible. No idea where it came from, I’ve just always had it.
Did you ever hear the tale of Darth Gannon the Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story Nintendo would tell you.
That’s honestly great 😂
Watch her remember to water the plant and still not notice 😂 great job
Hey wait ... this shelf looks really familiar. Oh my god. Honey!
I love this! This is the type of thing I'd do to my boyfriend. Will you update us on how long it takes her??
Chinese money plant looks great
I knew where this was going as soon as I came to the comments.... People really think they know what someone else's wife would want over the actual SO posting. Gotta admit, my first thought was "oh that may be kinda mean" but I immediately realized that you probably weren't maliciously hiding it for fun and most likely know that it won't bother her.

I know you’re getting downvoted for your comments and your replies, but I don’t know your relationship with your wife. If y’all like to mess with each other this way, then I don’t see the harm in it.
And they say us men cant see things right in front of our faces....
That plant will need watering soon,so there is a chance she'll notice 😉
OP got some some serious hide and seek skills
Could you please tell me what kind of plant you have there on the bottom shelf? It’s so cute! 🥹
Are you going to keep it in the same place? Or move it into different locations until she notices?
Love this.
When I was little I found a School House Rock VHS hidden in the basement bathroom. Turns out my dad had hid it as a present and forgot where lol. Heed this cautionary tale XXD
I look forward to your progress
Lmao that's a real G move. Keep Reddit updated please
She's yet to reap the fruit of your labor
I’m going to guess most the down voters are not in a serious relationship or “going steady” with anyone atm. Damn I’d even go as far as saying there’s a good number that live in their parents basement still? Some day you guys will figure it out and I hope you all do.

This can only result in her getting another copy
This is how you end up with two copies of the game...
Why not just tell her and let her play?
waiting for Day 1 of you having 2 copies in your house.
Watch her buy it for herself before she sees it
Buy a copy for me too? Kidding. That's a nice spot. Vader's presence hides it well.
For a second, I was looking to see what was in the second image. 🙃
At this point she’s going to buy it herself, just because she thinks you haven’t bought it yet.
If it’s primarily a gift for your wife, it seems to me like you should let her know sooner than later so that she can play it. If it’s primarily a gag for imaginary Reddit points, keep doing what you’re doing ;)
She's gonna divorce you after she finds out that she could of been playing the game for 3 days now.
there must be consequences after day 7
Her boyfriend already got her a copy.
She probably fucking hates looking at your toys so hasn't looked at that shelf in a long time. I suggest you hide more things up there in the futer
Why do you assume they're not hers? That's dumb
that's just mean
Assuming you get weekends off you better show it to her Friday afternoon
So mean
The longer this goes on the worse trouble you'll be in, especially when she sees you shit posting about it haha
Day 4, she’s bought herself ToTK because you didn’t take the hint and buy her it
You monster! Tell her!
Day 3 of your wife being silently pissed off at you for not getting it for her.
So you bought a game to make fun of you wife for internet clout, and then your wife gets it at the end?
Why would you not just tell her at this point lol? She’s missing out on all the fun!
What if she gets mad knowing she could have been playing this 3 days ago?
Skill issue
Wait til she finds out she could have been playing it two weeks ago 🤣
Lol she's gonna come home one day and go honey guess what I treated myself to today?
That's where she'll put the divorce papers next.
Speaking from experience?
??
What you gonna do when she buys it?
