The ESRB rating for Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom reveals a key detail about Princess Zelda's debut solo adventure, launching this September.

Zelda and Link: A Dual Protagonist Adventure

The ESRB listing confirms players will control both Zelda and Link. The game, rated E 10+, features Zelda's quest to seal rifts across Hyrule and rescue Link. Gameplay mechanics differ between characters: Link utilizes sword and arrow combat, while Zelda employs a magic wand to summon creatures like wind-up knights and slime for assistance. Combat includes fire-based attacks and enemies dissolving into mist upon defeat. The extent of Link's playable segments remains undisclosed.

This marks a pivotal moment for the Zelda franchise, presenting Princess Zelda as the main protagonist for the first time. The game's popularity is evident, boasting a significant position on wishlists following its summer showcase reveal. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is slated for release on September 26, 2024.
