Will the Zelda series be rated T for the rest of the time it exists? (At least until Nintendo makes an 'M' rated Zelda game)

I have no idea at this current time. Its too early to tell.

Waaaay too early to tell.

I don't think there will ever be a M rated Zelda as long as Nintendo is at the helm. If they do break from the T rating then I would guess it would be less than a T rating then.

Yeah, I would think they would want to stay with the current audiences instead of heading for a Mature rating. But then again, it's too early to tell.

OMG im 100% positive that they will never release an M-rated Zelda game.

And for the years to come i think Zelda will stick around E-10 and T.

I'm guessing it will be teen because the improvement in graphical quality makes it look more violent.

Hopefully they keep it at teen or M in Australia but hey it's Zelda so no matter what rating it gets its bound to still be a good game.

If they keep the kind of graphics TP has then it will remain T, if for some reason they go back to WW graphics then it would be E.

I totally agree with those ratings.  I think E is far too low (I mean a 6 year old playing a Zelda game? Way too difficult and a bit violent with the sword combat).  E-10 and T fit them well. A rated M game will not happen.

Zelda games are not difficult.

For little children, the puzzles will be extremely confusing and the backtracking will drive them crazy. I've seen it happen before to a kid in a store. He almost broke the thing.

i say no just incase they decide to make anotehr cell shaded zelda like windwaker. seeing how windwaker kept violence pretty much to a minimum until you stab ganon in the head.

Isn't the Phantom Hourglass rated E? If it is still RP, i'd bet money it will be E...

yea phantom hourglass would definitly get an E rating. E10 would be pushing it if anything. i guess some the reasons why they made TP rated T was the fighting was a little more realistic than other zelda games. if they really made it realistic it would probably have to be rated M because if you think about it when your doing your sword swipes its like your hitting the guy with a wooden sword or something. you stab a guy hes not supposed to go flying away. it should go right through the guy, but then i guess theyd have to increase the rating if they did that. plus you have that new finishing move theyve added in which is a little bit different than what weve seen before.

definitely T unless they add more blood, which i think will be saved for the final kill. Phantom Hourglass will probably be E because wind waker was E.

Why can't little kids play Zelda games? Look at Link to the Past, when I was 5/6 I played it!

I don't really see the Zelda series making a M-rated Zelda game because less people would be able to buy it. The only way a Zelda game would turn to a M-rated game would be if you cut off a guys limb and blood splattered everywhere, and I don't think Nintendo will do that.

teen or less definately...

the graphics have improved

Although TP could have been T for being so dark in storyline?

M Rated Zelda? Holy Crap, That's Be Hilarious.

I Think It'll Stick With T On The Home Consoles, And E-E10 On The Handhelds.

Zelda will have some more Under T, wind waker sold amazingly well so I expect more T's and maybe some under T.
