Here in the OP I'll specifically be talking in ESRB-speak. Because I'm American, I guess.
So far, in terms of the main Zelda series, every game in the series has had an E rating, with the exceptions of Skyward Sword and the rereleases of Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and The Wind Waker, who had E10+. Then there's also Twilight Princess, which had a T rating. So practically every 3D Zelda game has had a regular E10+ or a rare T rating.
With this information in mind, what video game content rating do you think that The Legend of Zelda for Wii U will have?
In my opinion, and taking all of the information about the game into consideration, I think that the game'll end up with a nice T rating. For one, Nintendo themselves have insinuated that the game will be something different from the other Zelda games, using an analogy of going from Japanese food to Western food. You can already see that the violence is going to get pumped up a bit from the bullet time move Link has where he leaps off of his horse and shoots arrows. Western influence is pretty likely at the point. Also, I can't see Nintendo making an open-world game of this type with an E10+ rating. That'd be odd to me.
bet: lost
