Zelda's Own Game Will Also Let You Play as Link

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, pig soldiers, and slime. Combat includes fire-based attacks and enemies dissolving into mist upon defeat. The extent of Link's playable sections remains undisclosed.

This marks a significant milestone for the Zelda franchise, featuring Princess Zelda as the primary protagonist for the first time. The game's popularity is evident, as it quickly became a top wishlisted title following its summer showcase announcement. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is slated for release on September 26th, 2024.
