Zelda Tears of the Kingdom leaker forces ex-Nintendo exec to channel inner Liam Neeson

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom‘s release is only a handful of days away, and unsportsmanlike leakers have come out to play. Fortunately, a brave ex-Nintendo executive has decided to stand up against the unrestrained mischief by channeling his inner Liam Neeson from the action movie, Taken.

Sadly, these Zelda Tears of the Kingdom leaks have been a common occurrence recently as several spoilers have already started circulating through various social media sites. Alas, these unwanted instances are more than likely to continue as evidenced by the infamous Twitter post from a user named imahumanandimagamer.

Their notorious and now deleted tweet simply contained an image of the Switch home screen with their finger pointing at an icon of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It’s currently unclear how this person was able to acquire an early copy, but it’s safe to say that fans of the Nintendo series weren’t amused with this user’s seemingly malicious intent.

Unfortunately for this leaker, Reggie Fils-Aimé, the ex-president and chief operating officer of Nintendo of America, was immediately notified of this ill-intentioned image. The veteran executive would then respond to the Twitter post by reciting Liam Neeson’s iconic mini-speech from his popular action movie, Taken.

It seems that the statement from Fils-Aimé worked as the post is no longer available and the person’s Twitter account has since been deactivated. This should serve as a warning to others that threaten to release Zelda Tears of the Kingdom leaks. Reggie Fils-Aimé is not someone you’ll want to mess with when it comes to Nintendo affairs. Otherwise, he may just end up having to find you and give you a stern talking-to.
