The ESRB rating for Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom reveals exciting details about Zelda's debut as the main protagonist, launching this September.
Zelda and Link: A Dual Protagonist Adventure
(c) ESRB The ESRB listing confirms players will control both Zelda and Link. Zelda's quest involves sealing rifts across Hyrule and rescuing Link. Gameplay mechanics differ between characters: Link wields sword and arrow, while Zelda commands magical creatures (wind-up knights, pig soldiers, slime) in combat. Enemies meet varied fates – some combust, others dissipate into mist.
This marks a pivotal moment for the Zelda franchise, showcasing Princess Zelda in an unprecedented leading role. The game's pre-release anticipation is sky-high, making it the most wishlisted title from the recent summer showcase.
The extent of Link's playable sections remains undisclosed.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom arrives September 26, 2024.
