==Story==
==Biography==
Cadence is transported to [[Hyrule]] by the [[Triforce]] and falls out of the sky. She is immediately greeted by [[Trill (Cadence of Hyrule)|Trill]], who is relieved to find that Cadence is uninjured and explains that she arrived at a time where strange things are happening in Hyrule.{{Ref|Cadence of Hyrule|Hey! Hey, you! I saw you fall from the sky! That landing wasn't very graceful. Are you okay? Oh! You're not Hylian? So you're new here! I'm Trill. Nice to meet you!|Trill}}{{Ref|Cadence of Hyrule|Looks like you can still move! I'm glad you're not injured! But you have unfortunate timing... Something strange has been going on in Hyrule.|Trill}} Trill helps Cadence navigate through a nearby crypt. At the end of the crypt, Cadence finds two portals that will allow her to save either Link or Zelda. In a single-player campaign, she explains to the person she rescues that she is going to try and find her way home and leaves.{{Ref|Cadence of Hyrule|Sounds like you're going to be busy for a while. I'll be around looking for a way to get back to my world. I hope to see you again!|Cadence}} In a co-op game, she remains in the party as one of the playable characters.
In ''Crypt of the NecroDancer'', Cadence is the daughter of famed treasure hunter Dorian. One day, Dorian went missing while trying to find a magical [[Golden Lute]] that could resurrect his dead wife, Cadence's mother Melody. While searching for her father, Cadence fell into a crypt and died from the fall; She was resurrected by a dark sorcerer, the NecroDancer, who separated her heart from her body and refused to let Cadence leave until she traversed the crypt and killed him. Cadence spends the game attempting to kill the NecroDancer, with the movement of herself and the NecroDancer's minions linked to her heartbeat.


In a single-player campaign, the player will often encounter her in caves throughout Hyrule, still struggling to find her way back home. She often offers advice or items to help Link or Zelda. Eventually, she joins as another playable character.{{Ref|Cadence of Hyrule|I'm beginning to think that I'll never get home with Octavo around.

Cadence joins Link and Zelda in the fight against [[Ganon]] in the future. After he is defeated, Link and Zelda explain to her that she can wish upon the Triforce to hopefully return home. She does so and is teleported to a new location.
In a single-player save file, Cadence can be encountered in four different [[Cave|Caves]] around Hyrule, still struggling in vain to return home. The caves are located in [[Lake Hylia]], [[Death Mountain]], [[Lost Woods]], and [[Gerudo Desert]]; She can also be found in a fifth cave at [[Link's House]], where she will give the player a spare [[Shovel]] (a spare [[Torch]] can also be found behind a diggable wall). For the other four caves, Cadence will grant new Items as follows:

*Cadence gets her name from the [[wikipedia:Cadence|musical term]]. A cadence is the progression of two or more chords in the conclusion of a musical phrase or piece.
*'''Second Cave:''' [[Spin Attack]] and [[Din's Fire]]
*'''Third Cave:''' [[Shield Technique]]
 
After being encountered in all four caves, Cadence realizes that she won't be able to leave Hyrule until Octavo is defeated, noting that he reminds her of the NecroDancer.{{Ref|Cadence of Hyrule|I'm beginning to think that I'll never get home with Octavo around.

With the completed Triforce, Cadence wishes to be sent off, and is teleported to places unknown.
 
In-game, Cadence can use most weapons and items. She uses the [[Shovel Strike]] as her offensive technique, the [[Shield]] as her defensive technique, and [[Greatshovel|Greatshovels]] as her unique weapon class.
 
==Nomenclature==
In music, [[wikipedia:Cadence|Cadence]] is a progression of chords that ends a phrase, section, or composition (harmonic cadence) or a rhythmic pattern that indicates the end of a phrase (rhythmic cadence), with the purpose of creating a feeling of resolution. This is related to the story of ''Crypt of the NecroDancer'', where Cadence is trying to find a resolution as to the fate of her father Dorian.
 
In a more literal sense, ''cadence'' comes from the Latin word ''cadentia'', which means "a falling". Cadence was cursed by the NecroDancer after she fell into the crypt.

Biography

In Crypt of the NecroDancer, Cadence is the daughter of famed treasure hunter Dorian. One day, Dorian went missing while trying to find a magical Golden Lute that could resurrect his dead wife, Cadence's mother Melody. While searching for her father, Cadence fell into a crypt and died from the fall; She was resurrected by a dark sorcerer, the NecroDancer, who separated her heart from her body and refused to let Cadence leave until she traversed the crypt and killed him. Cadence spends the game attempting to kill the NecroDancer, with the movement of herself and the NecroDancer's minions linked to her heartbeat.

In Cadence of Hyrule, the Triforce transports Cadence to Hyrule, after Octavo places both Link and Zelda into a magical slumber and takes over the kingdom. While searching for a way home through a crypt, she finds portals leading to both Link and Zelda; After travelling through one portal, Cadence awakens one of them, before leaving the party to keep searching.[1] If the player is in a co-op save file, Cadence will remain in the party.

In a single-player save file, Cadence can be encountered in four different Caves around Hyrule, still struggling in vain to return home. The caves are located in Lake Hylia, Death Mountain, Lost Woods, and Gerudo Desert; She can also be found in a fifth cave at Link's House, where she will give the player a spare Shovel (a spare Torch can also be found behind a diggable wall). For the other four caves, Cadence will grant new Items as follows:

After being encountered in all four caves, Cadence realizes that she won't be able to leave Hyrule until Octavo is defeated, noting that he reminds her of the NecroDancer.[2][3] Cadence will then rejoin the party, and can be switched to and from at active Sheikah Stones; If she wasn't already unlocked, Cadence will join the player in the Future World. After Ganon is defeated, Cadence receives the Triforce of Power; Link and Zelda then give her their respective pieces, explaining how the full Triforce can grant wishes if one is worthy of it. With the completed Triforce, Cadence wishes to be sent off, and is teleported to places unknown.

In-game, Cadence can use most weapons and items. She uses the Shovel Strike as her offensive technique, the Shield as her defensive technique, and Greatshovels as her unique weapon class.

Nomenclature

In music, Cadence is a progression of chords that ends a phrase, section, or composition (harmonic cadence) or a rhythmic pattern that indicates the end of a phrase (rhythmic cadence), with the purpose of creating a feeling of resolution. This is related to the story of Crypt of the NecroDancer, where Cadence is trying to find a resolution as to the fate of her father Dorian.

In a more literal sense, cadence comes from the Latin word cadentia, which means "a falling". Cadence was cursed by the NecroDancer after she fell into the crypt.
