The ESRB rating for Nintendo's 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 her own game.
Zelda and Link: A Dual Protagonist Adventure
The ESRB listing confirms dual playable characters. Players will guide Zelda in her quest to seal rifts across Hyrule and rescue Link. Gameplay mechanics differ between characters: Link wields sword and arrows, while Zelda utilizes a magic wand to summon creatures like wind-up knights and slime for combat. Enemies are dispatched through various means, including fire and dissolving into mist.

While the game's description highlights Zelda's central role, the extent of Link's playable segments remains unclear. This innovative approach to the Zelda franchise has generated significant excitement, making Echoes of Wisdom a highly anticipated title. The game launches September 26th, 2024.
Hyrule Edition Switch Lite: A Collector's Item
To coincide with the game's release, Nintendo is offering a special Hyrule Edition Switch Lite, available for pre-order. This golden-hued console features the Hyrule crest and Triforce emblem. While the game isn't included, it bundles a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription for $49.99.
