The ESRB rating for Nintendo's upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom reveals a key detail: Princess Zelda's debut as the main protagonist will also feature Link as a playable character. The September release is generating significant excitement.
Zelda and Link: A Dual Protagonist Adventure
The ESRB listing confirms both Zelda and Link are playable in Echoes of Wisdom, rated E 10+ and free of microtransactions. The description highlights Zelda's quest to seal rifts across Hyrule and rescue Link. Gameplay mechanics differ: Link wields sword and arrow, while Zelda utilizes a magic wand to summon creatures like wind-up knights, pig soldiers, and slime. Combat involves fire-based attacks and enemies dissolving into mist.
A Zelda-Centric First
This marks a pivotal moment for the Zelda franchise, with Princess Zelda taking center stage for the first time. Following its announcement during the summer game showcase, Echoes of Wisdom quickly became a highly anticipated title. However, the extent of Link's playable segments remains undisclosed.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom launches September 26, 2024.
