ESRB Rating Reveals Exciting Details About Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

The ESRB has just released a new rating for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and it seems to hint at an interesting gameplay feature – the ability to play as Link himself.

According to the ‘E10+’ (Everyone 10+) rating, players will have the opportunity to control Link, utilizing his iconic sword and arrows to combat enemies alongside Zelda. The description mentions how players will assume the role of Zelda as she embarks on a quest to save Hyrule and rescue Link, with occasional moments where players get to step into the shoes of the legendary hero.

“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.”

Additionally, the description sheds light on Zelda’s abilities, particularly her “Tri Rod” which allows her to summon creatures during battles. This magical wand is a gift from her new fairy companion, Tri, adding more depth to the gameplay experience.

While the specifics of when and how players can control Link remain a mystery, it’s clear that this unexpected twist will enhance the gameplay and storytelling dynamics of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated Switch title!
