Hyrule remains as well, at least in story mode. Heart containers carry over, too, letting me explore deeper into the world without the insta-deaths that make the first few hours of NecroDancer so punishing. This gear, usually hidden underground in mini-dungeons, sticks with me, even after death, making subsequent playthroughs much easier. That mechanic is at odds with the Zelda franchise’s tenets of free exploration and character progression, and major changes were made in Cadence of Hyrule to hew closer to classic Zelda.Īs I start exploring the world of Hyrule (playing as Link, though Zelda is also an option), I quickly stumble upon a few classic staples: a small blue shield, a sword and, a few screens later, a hookshot. NecroDancer is punishingly difficult, for instance, starting players mostly from scratch after every death.
īut Cadence of Hyrule isn’t just a reskin of NecroDancer with some Zelda tunes mixed in. If you want curated lists of our favorite media, check out What to Play and What to Watch.
