Cadence of Hyrule Fills the Musical Void Left by Breath of the Wild
(N4G GameCube)

The Punished Backlog`s Sam Martinelli writes: `When The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild took the gaming world by storm two years ago, it amazed players with its massive open world, improved traversal mechanics, weapon variety, and breathtaking scenery. While I place it fourth in my personal ranking of Zelda titles (behind only Wind Waker, A Link to the Past, and Ocarina of Time in some order), something to me still didnt feel quite right about the Wii U/Switch masterpiece as I sunk over 100 hours into it. After playing Cadence of Hyrule, the latest Zelda spin-off, which uses the mechanics of Crypt of the Necrodancer, I now realize what was missing: the integration of music as a core gameplay mechanic (Kass doesnt count).`
