Two gamers got jobs with Amazon just to steal the new Zelda

When the release of a new blockbuster title is imminent, most gamers will want to play the game as soon as possible--and now two men from Japan became criminals in the process. This is what happened when they couldn't wait for the release date of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The case became public through a report by the Japanese website Shūkan Bunshun. The two men, aged 21 and 24, whose cases took place independently but at the same company, devised a plan to get their hands on the new video game before its official launch. They successfully applied as subcontractors at an Amazon subcontractor, and started work a few months before the release of the Zelda game.
