Nintendo's upcoming title, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, promises a fresh take on the beloved franchise. A recent ESRB rating reveals a key detail: players will control both Zelda and Link! This September release marks Zelda's debut as the main protagonist.
Zelda and Link: A Dual Protagonist Adventure
The ESRB listing confirms the dual playable characters. Zelda will journey across Hyrule, battling rifts and rescuing Link. Link, meanwhile, will utilize his classic sword and arrows, while Zelda commands magical creatures for combat. The game features a charming E 10+ rating and is free of microtransactions.
While the ESRB description highlights Zelda's role, the extent of Link's playable segments remains a mystery. This innovative approach to the Zelda formula has already made Echoes of Wisdom a highly anticipated title. The game launches September 26th, 2024.
