PLEASE STOP AND READ MY REVIEW
This game is amazing! The art style is beautiful, and the endless possibilities are a nice touch. In this adventure, Link goes on a quest to save Hyrule from an awaking evil. On the way, you'll encounter enemies that Link can battle, puzzles to solve, and over 100+ side quests. There is NO blood or gore, instead, the enemies disappear into a puff of smoke. All the characters (specifically women) are dressed modestly. There is no profanity or sex either. There is a reference to alcohol though, as there is a lady who runs a shop in the game who sells drinks that "are definitely just for adults". Thankfully Link can never obtain these drinks for himself. In addition, there is a character within the game that says "heck".Overall I'd say this game is great for kids 9+ and will provide endless amounts of fun for kids looking for an ever expanding and amazing adventure.

Wonderful game!
The combat is medieval styled, and anything you kill doesn't have blood. They explode into a puff of smoke and disappear. There is mild alcohol, though the player does not drink, he can serve alcohol to others. When Great Fairies upgrade gear, Link makes an obscene sound when picked up by the Fairies. Link has to hunt in game, but as I said, hunted animals turn into smoke, and leave behind raw game.Great game, but if they got rid of the Great Fairy part, and replace it with enchanting, it would be even better.

A Nominee for greatest game at its worst
Honestly this is the BEST game I have ever played. The violence is limited to ragdolls and metal weapons. There is death that is included but no blood or how any bodies are shown. the fairies show mild cleaveage but not to the point its for teens. There is a town that only allow women, so the player needs to cross dress, but it will most likely go over a child's head.

Great Game but lots of Innuendo
The game is great, stunning visuals and challenging game play.I have recommended the higher age range as there is lots of innuendo in the NPC dialogue. The fairies at the fairy fountains interactions begin flirtatious but their advances become more aggressive the more the player interacts with them.
