The highly-anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is not too far off now and has subsequently received a 10+ rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board. What’s more interesting is that the rating summary reveals Link is a playable character in the game. It’s not clear whether Link is only playable at the start of the adventure or if he becomes playable later into it too. We will probably find out nearer the time of release which is 26th September.
Rating Summary
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. Some enemies can be defeated by being set on fire; other creatures dissolve into mist when defeated. Battle sequences are somewhat frenetic, with several enemies attacking/fighting at once.
