Japanese authorities detained a man for selling hacked save files for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Japanese authorities reportedly arrested a 27-year-old man for attempting to sell hacked The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild save files. Breath of the Wild debuted alongside the Nintendo Switch in March 2017. The most recent entry in the long-running series featured a drastic change in direction that emphasized player choice, equipment durability, and interactions between various systems in an open-world setting that could be approached in many ways. Those qualities also made the game a compelling target for hacks.
