Link playable Zelda Echoes of Wisdom

New information about The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has come to light, and it indicates that Link will be a playable character for at least some part of the game. That news comes from an ESRB rating that just appeared today.

One of the big elements in Echoes of Wisdom is that Zelda is taking the lead this time around. Link tends to have the starring role, but now the princess will be the one attempting to save Hyrule. We’ve also never really seen Zelda playable like this in a mainline entry.

ININ Games prepared a launch trailer for Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III, which came to Switch this week. The classic title now returns after more than three decades.
