The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Features A Playable Link, According To ESRB Rating

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom might be most notable for allowing you to play as Zelda herself, but series mainstay Link will also be playable, according to the game's ESRB listing. Just how prominent of a role he plays, however, remains to be seen.

The listing reads, "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." What exactly the split between Link and Zelda will entail is still unknown. Zelda's ability set will likely be entirely different from Link's. She can also summon household items like tables and chairs and more unusual objects like water blocks.

Some users on Reddit have speculated, based on the trailer, that you will play as Link in an intro section and then take over as Zelda once he is captured. Other users speculated that you will be able to play as Link in a new game plus mode, a la similar modes in Castlevania.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Switch Online Adds More Games Never Released In The US

Two decades after their initial release in Japan, Nintendo's first three Densetsu no Starfy games have finally made their American debut. Nintendo Switch Online members who have the premium expansion pack can now play the Game Boy Advance titles Densetsu no Starfy, Densetsu no Starfy 2, and Densetsu no Starfy 3. As you can see in the announcement trailer below, Starfy looks like a very cheerful star who should probably be teaming up with Kirby.

Although Nintendo has now made the game available, the publisher hasn't localized any of the games with English translations. That means you may have to brush up on your Japanese if you want to follow the on-screen text. Fortunately, the Starfy games are platformers instead of intricately plotted RPGs, and they should be easy enough to play without formal instructions.Gallery

The first game introduces Starfy and depicts his attempt to return to his kingdom in the sky, Pufftop, while also facing the villain Ogura. Densetsu no Starfy 2 features the return of Ogura as he kidnaps Starfy's mother, forcing the hero to go on a quest to save her. Starfy's sister, Starly, is introduced in Densetsu no Starfy 3, which reveals that another villain who has been backing Ogura's schemes. This game also features a cameo by Wario, who acts as an ally to Starfy. Continue Reading at GameSpot

"It's a superbly designed gameplay experience that instills a sense of freedom while also making exploration rewarding in a meaningful way," Tamoor Hussain wrote in GameSpot's Final Fantasy VII Rebirth review. "Refined gameplay that makes character synergy a focal point breathes new life into the slick and satisfying combat, and all the while it reinforces the underlying themes of the story. As a game that has the unenviable task of living up to one of the strongest legacies in the medium, it is a worthy second chapter."
