Cadence of Hyrule mashes up Zelda with Crypt of the Necrodancer

Nintendo is once again letting a third-party developer work with some of its most famous characters. This time it’s not Ubisoft pairing Mario up with the Rabbids. Instead, indie developer Brace Yourself Games is remixing Zelda: A Link to the Past into a rhythm game.

Brace Yourself Games is the studio responsible for Crypt of the NecroDancer. That is a dungeon-crawling music adventure that requires players to fight enemies to the beat of its tunes. In its new game called Cadence of Hyrule, the studio is taking its NecroDancer gameplay and applying it to Zelda characters and settings.
