Nintendo has a first-party big-name Switch title due out in a couple of weeks, then news breaks that copies of the game have already leaked online. It’s happened yet again with September 26's The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom—a ROM of the game apparently first showing up Friday,

However, someone has apparently leaked the Echoes of Wisdom ROM weeks before the game's scheduled release, which means spoilers for the game may already be circulating online.

Anyone still disappointed about the lack of Twilight Princess on Switch may be able to get their fix with Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
