Quote: Zelda Universe Has Been Rated For "Online" By ESRB
Zelda Universe, a title thus far unannounced by Nintendo has been outed thanks to a rating for an "online" platform by the ESRB. Even though Nintendo has not made a announcement hinting at a new Zelda game or the addition of an online component to existing Zelda projects, the mention of an "online" platform suggests they may have something up their sleeves afterall. The game only had one word for contest description, "violence." I need a moment to gather myself.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board, aka the ESRB, has gained a reputation for rating unannounced games. Today that trend continues, as a rating for Zelda Universe appeared despite the lack of any indication a game by that name actually exists.
Zelda: OoT 3D is set for next month and LoZ: Skyward Sword is on course for a 2011 release. Could Zelda Universe be an unannounced online Zelda title for the "Wii 2"? Or does the listing as an "online platform" indicate their online hub? "Zelda Universe" is the name of Zelda's official website -- but the ESRB doesn't rate websites, so could it be just a fancy flash game? So many questions!

This sounds like a HUGE troll attempt.

Somethings not adding up...
Who knows what warrants a 'Violence' tag these days.
I'd love to try a Zelda MMO though.

The rating is "Everyone" though, so I can't imagine too much violence.

It's the website.
Quote: A lot of people are getting hot under the collar over a listing on the ESRB website for something called Zelda Universe. It's down as an "online" title, which considering the publisher and the franchise sounds interesting.
Only, it's not.
Zelda Universe is listed as "online" because, as is pointed out here, it's a website, not a game. Namely, this site, Nintendo's hub for all things Legend of Zelda. The company has done the same thing with its Advance Wars site, obtaining an ESRB rating for all the various types of content (some violent) that are being hosted there.
What's more, the Zelda Universe listing dates back to 2008.
It's a little weird, given no other major publisher bothers getting ESRB ratings just for their websites, but then no other major publisher is as concerned with game ratings for kids as Nintendo is, so that probably explains it.

That makes a bit more sense, lol. I honestly cannot see a Zelda MMO >_>

If they tarnish the Zelda franchise by making a crappy MMO ala FF14 I might just have to send an abusive email.

How would a zelda mmo even work?
Like.. every zelda game have 1 hero, Link.
They would have to tweak the story pretty violently to get a possible 2 million "Links" trying to rescue zelda at the same time.
