Parents may already be familiar with the Zelda series, and have found it to be relatively tame compared to most games. Even still, some of Link's attacks in this latest installment are designed to look a little more brutal. Although it says animated blood, there is no real crimson blood shed in the game. The game does have some dark imagery that may be scary, but no scarier than a Disney villain.

Zelda fans for the most part won't be disappointed. This is easily the largest Zelda adventure yet, with a decent amount of temples, several new items and a very engaging combat system. Fans who have been waiting for the return of a grown-up Link will find much cause to celebrate.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers will have little trouble. All of the text is subtitled, as there is no voice acting in the game. There are several audio cues, but pretty much all of them are signaled at the same time as a very visible visual cue.
