Dance Along With ‘Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring the Legend of Zelda’

To quote one of my favorite episodes of Phineas and Ferb, “I ain’t got rhythm.” As such, I have yet to truly excel at the brand new Brace Yourself Games/Nintendo release Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring the Legend of Zelda. Still, despite that, I can’t deny that this unique rhythmic action-adventure title is anything short of pure genius.
For the uninitiated, the original roguelike rhythm game was released on PC way back in 2015, and it put a brand new spin on the standard top-down dungeon crawler. Whereas music has always been a supporting component, adding ambiance to overworlds and dank caves alike, Crypt of the NecroDancer brought the soundtrack to the forefront. Players controlled protagonist Cadence, moving, dodging, and attacking in time with spectacular electronic compositions by Danny Baranowsky.
