And i never played a game this short in my entire live of 27 year of gaming. It is a joke. The art style and the camera from above a way to far away to even see what is going on. I loved donkey kong jungle beat so i thought he why not try out this bad boy. It is really not for everyone. 3 Minutes into the game and im already bored to death. Watch out before you buy it. it looks way more fun then it is.

I'm a big Zelda fanboy and this game is not only a deserving tribute to the series, but an awesome experience by itself.The gameplay basically feels like it would be a 2D zelda focused on fights, and where you have to follow the rythm of the music to execute your actions. The first hour/2 hours can be a little painful, until you understand well how to follow the rythm, how to hide from your enemies and read their patterns (which is the central aspect of fighting). Beyond this the game starts to be really fun.The OST is absolutely godlike. Nothing less. If you've played a few Zelda games it will be an absolute delight to listen to the reorchestration of these already legendary themes. As an ALTTP fanboy, I was pleased to see that most of the themes come from this episode, and I had a crush on the Death Moutain theme. In the middle of this overall amazing soundtrack, only one disappointed me: the Hyrule Castle, which seems at times like inspired from the ALTTP version as well, but is otherwise really so far from it that I couldn't really enjoy it.The layout of the world tiles being generated randomly, you can enjoy redoing this game multiple times, especialy since you can get to try the different characters then. This is an "open world" in the sense that, apart from the latest part of the game, no step requires the prior acquisition of an item or a competence, so you're free to go where you want.The only little flaw I see in Cadence of Hyrule actually lies here: although you'll be able to acquire many objects symbolic of the Zelda series, none of them is indispensable. Consequently, many objects will end up being gimmicks that you'll use occasionally to fight the mobs in a different way, and will go back unused in your inventory after a while. I would have liked to have maybe less objects, but with more importance along the game.Otherwise, if you've ever liked any Zelda, just get this game, you won't regret it.

A fantastic demonstration of an impossible but incredible union: Zelda and Crypt of the Necrodancer. A great fusion for a varied, challenging and innovating game.

The charm and charisma of The Legend of Zelda, fused with the rhythmic gameplay of Crypt of the Necrodancer, gives life to a hybrid that maintains the essence while also offering a new and fresh take of both games. Cadende of Hyrule is, quite literally, a link between worlds.
