New Zelda Spin-Off Rhythm Game “Cadence of Hyrule” Announced
Posted on March 20 2019 by John Piland
A brand new Zelda game was just announced during the today’s Nindies Direct. Cadence of Hyrule is a spin-off title combining the worlds of The Legend of Zelda with the gameplay of Crypt of the NecroDancer. Players will now be able to jam out while saving Hyrule from evil forces in glorious fashion.
In high-paced, rhythmic action, we are treated to Link and Zelda fighting various monsters from throughout Hyrule’s history, ranging from Bokoblins — finally in pixelated form — to giant Armos, amid colorful graphics as the catchy “Tal Tal Heights” theme rings in the background. Could this be the previously rumored game set to release exclusively on the Switch sometime this year? Regardless, the game certainly looks exciting.
The official Nintendo Website has this to say about the game:
As Link—or even as Princess Zelda—you’ll explore the randomly generated overworld and dungeons on a quest to save Hyrule. Every beat of each remixed, The Legend of Zelda tune is a chance to move, attack, defend, and more, so stay one step ahead of each enemy and boss…or face the music.
From modern-looking Lynels to the Hyrulean Soldiers of old, you must master the instinctive movements of each pixel-art enemy, and strategically outstep them in rhythmic combat. So equip yourself with an arsenal of iconic Legend of Zelda items, as well as the spells and weapons from Crypt of the Necrodancer. You must be prepared to face Hyrule’s most wicked bosses, which have been transformed by magic, granting them mighty, new forms!
The game is set to release later this spring. How do you feel about this crossover? Let us know in the comments below!
