The ESRB have rated The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, the next entry in The Legend of Zelda series for Nintendo Switch. The rating confirms that Link will be playable, as shown in the initial reveal trailer, and various in-game enemies are explained.
Here’s the ESRB rating description for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom:
“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.”
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom launches September 26 for Nintendo Switch. Alongside the new game, Nintendo will release a new gold-colored Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition console adorned with the Hylian Crest. Players who purchase the console will gain a 12-month individual Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, featuring access to a range of classic The Legend of Zelda titles from the NES, Super NES, Game Boy, Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Advance.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via Nintendo:
It’s up to Zelda and her wisdom to save the kingdom of Hyrule in a brand-new story in The Legend of Zelda series. The people of Hyrule are being stolen away by strange rifts that have appeared, with a certain swordsman among the missing. Team up with the mysterious fairy, Tri, and use the power of the Tri Rod to create echoes – imitations of things found in the environment. Then recreate those echoes whenever you like to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Use echoes of water blocks to reach new heights, make bridges out of old beds, throw rocks at foes – or find your own creative combination of echoes to do things your way. You can even create echoes of monsters to fight at your side in combat.
