The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom ESRB Rating Confirms Playable Link

The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) has published their rating of The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom, the upcoming 2D Zelda game where the princess is the main playable character.

The game has been rated “E10+” for Everyone, as seen on the official page here. It is noted that the game contains “Fantasy Violence” and no “Interactive Elements” such as microtransactions. Most interestingly however, is that the ESRB’s description of the game seemingly confirms that Link will also be playable in some capacity, noting that he “uses a sword and arrows to defeat enemies”.

This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of Zelda as she attempts to dispel rifts throughout Hyrule and rescue Link. From a ¾-overhead perspective, players explore various environments while fighting stylized enemies (e.g., humans, creatures). As Link, players use a sword and arrows to defeat enemies; Zelda can use a magic wand to summon creatures (e.g., wind-up knights, pig soldiers, slime) for battle. Some enemies can be defeated by being set on fire; other creatures dissolve into mist when defeated. Battle sequences are somewhat frenetic, with several enemies attacking/fighting at once.

The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom launches September 26th 2024 for Switch.
