Why is BOTW rated M?

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BOTW) isn't rated M (Mature) in the U.S. (it's E10+), but it received an M rating in Australia due to stricter classification for elements like Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes (Paya's advances, Zelda's robe scene), Use of Alcohol (in-game items), and perceived Drug Use (some interpret certain mushrooms/elixirs that way), all combined with the Fantasy Violence and Threat that might be more intense due to its open-world nature and physics, unlike typical E10+ games.
