The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has now published its rating for Echoes of Wisdom, a good sign that delays for the game won’t happen anytime soon.
Curiously Echoes of Wisdom has received an “E10” rating, which is a little higher than Link’s Awakening’s “E” rating for Nintendo Switch. The ESRB has also released a short description of the gameplay, which talks about the stylized playstyle, fantasy violence, and Link is confirmed a playable character.
Wait a minute. Link is playable in Echoes of Wisdom?
Indeed, he is, though we don’t know exactly to what extent at this time. It’s possible he is playable at the beginning, the end, or in sections on his own side adventure across the void. Here is the ESRB’s description in full:
“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.”
Echoes of Wisdom is on track to release September 26, 2024. Customers can preorder the game through various sites, and preorders for the Triforce Nintendo Switch Lite are surfacing as well.
