The ESRB listing confirms the game's E 10+ rating and the absence of microtransactions. It describes gameplay featuring Zelda's quest to seal rifts across Hyrule and rescue Link. Zelda utilizes a magic wand to summon creatures for combat (wind-up knights, pig soldiers, and slime), while Link employs his sword and arrows. Enemy defeat methods vary, with some burning and others dissolving into mist.

This represents a significant shift for the Zelda franchise, making Echoes of Wisdom a highly anticipated title. It's currently the most wishlisted game from the recent summer showcase.

The extent of Link's playable segments remains undisclosed.
