Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes
This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of Link on a quest to locate Princess Zelda and stop an evil force. Players traverse and explore open-world environments, interact with characters, forage for food and materials, and engage in melee combat against fantastical creatures (e.g., skeletons, goblins, lizard men). Players use swords, hammers, bows, and explosives to attack enemies that generally disappear amid smoke puffs and/or collectible items. Stylized battles are sometimes frenetic, accompanied by impact sounds, cries of pain, and brief explosions. A handful of creatures (e.g., Great Faeries) wear revealing outfits, with moderate cleavage and/or exaggerated-size breasts; characters are sometimes depicted wearing boxer-briefs.
