The ESRB rating for Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, slated for a September release, reveals a key detail: Princess Zelda's debut as the main protagonist will also feature Link as a playable character.
Zelda and Link: A Dual Protagonist Adventure
The ESRB listing confirms both Zelda and Link are playable. The game, rated E 10+, is free of microtransactions. The description highlights Zelda's quest to mend rifts across Hyrule and rescue Link. Gameplay mechanics include Link's sword and arrows, and Zelda's magic wand to summon creatures like wind-up knights and slime.
