A new ESRB rating for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has revealed that players will be able to play as both Zelda and Link.
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom – Everything You Missed in the New Trailer
During the June 2024 Nintendo Direct, fans were pleasantly surprised to hear that a new The Legend of Zelda game would be released soon. Even more surprising was that players would be playing as Zelda, not Link. While many of us have been slowly preparing to conjure furniture and capture monsters, an ESRB rating indicated that Link would also be a playable character (thanks, Eurogamer).
The ESRB rating says that players will play as Zelda, who goes on a journey to clear the cracks that have appeared around Hyrule while also trying to save Link. About halfway through the description, it says:
“As Link, players can use a sword and arrows to defeat enemies; Zelda can use a magic wand to summon creatures (e.g. wind-up knights, pig soldiers, slimes) for battle.”
