Someone in The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild has a drinking problem
We’re less than two weeks away from the release of The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, and the specifics of its vast open world largely remain a mystery. Here’s what we know: It’s really big, vaguely post-apocalyptic, and full of goblins, horses, and bird people. Thanks to the ESRB, the MPAA-like organization that provides games with their age ratings, we just got a weird little tidbit about what awaits players in the latest iteration of Hyrule. While Breath Of The Wild is rated E10+—which puts it in line with most Zeldas and more family friendly than Twilight Princess, the series’ grimmest and darkest entry—it marks the first time the series is being dinged for “Use Of Alcohol.” Odds are Link himself won’t be imbibing, but according to the ESRB’s rating summary, “during the course of the game, a shop owner tells Link that she only serves ‘drinks that are definitely just for adults’” and “players can also encounter a drunken character that occasionally hiccups.” There’s also a mention of “fairies with moderate cleavage and/or exaggerated-size breasts,” but, as many pervy little boys who were coming of age when playing Ocarina Of Time would tell you, that’s not exactly something new.
