Zelda Adds Link as Playable Character

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Confirms Playable Zelda and Link

The ESRB rating listing for Nintendo's upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom reveals exciting details about gameplay roles as Princess Zelda stars in her first lead adventure this September.

Link's Playable Role Still Unclear

The ESRB rating confirms Nintendo's landmark title will feature both Princess Zelda and Link as playable characters. Rated E10+, the game contains no microtransactions and offers distinct combat styles:

• Zelda wields a magical wand to summon allies
• Link utilizes his classic sword and arrows

"Players assume Zelda's role to seal Hyrule's rifts and rescue Link," states the ESRB description. Combat involves mystical summons dissolving enemies versus Link's traditional attacks.

This historic shift makes Echoes of Wisdom the most anticipated Nintendo Switch title following its announcement, though Link's gameplay scope remains undefined ahead of the September 26 release.
