Play as Link or Zelda while you explore this new Hyrule.Īfter a short tutorial where you play as Cadence (the protagonist of Crypt of the NecroDancer), you can choose to begin your adventure in Hyrule as either Link or Zelda. Cadence of Hyrule combines elements from the two franchises in a cohesive, enjoyable way, with the result easily being one of the best Zelda spin-offs.

However, both long-time fans of the Zelda franchise and lovers of the indie sensation Crypt of the NecroDancer are in for a treat. When you consider its full title, Cadence of Hyrule – Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda could easily be a game with an identity crisis.

Even more surprising, though, is seeing how incredible this mixture is.

Not only was Nintendo letting an indie developer work on Zelda – one of their biggest franchises – but they were also allowing them to adapt the Triforce universe into a wholly different gameplay style. This fact is what made the announcement of Cadence of Hyrule during a Nindies Showcase in March such a shock. Nintendo is known for being protective over their IPs, with many promising fan-made projects shut down before they could ever see the light of the day.
