The ESRB rating for Nintendo's upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom reveals a surprising twist: players will control both Zelda and Link! This September release marks Zelda's debut as the main protagonist in the Zelda franchise.
Zelda and Link: A Dual Protagonist Adventure
The ESRB listing confirms the game's E 10+ rating and the absence of microtransactions. It describes Zelda's quest to seal rifts across Hyrule and rescue Link. Gameplay will involve Zelda using a magic wand to summon creatures for combat (wind-up knights, pig soldiers, and slime), while Link utilizes his sword and arrows. Enemies are defeated through various means, including fire and dissolving into mist.
While the game centers around Zelda's journey, the extent of Link's playable sections remains a mystery. This innovative approach to the Zelda formula has generated immense anticipation, making Echoes of Wisdom one of the most wishlisted games from the recent Summer Game Showcase. The game launches September 26, 2024.
Hyrule Edition Switch Lite: A Golden Celebration
To commemorate the game's release, Nintendo is offering a special Hyrule Edition Switch Lite, available for preorder. This golden console, featuring the Hyrule Crest and a Triforce symbol, doesn't include the game but does come with a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription for $49.99.
