Today’s Nindies Showcase ended with the most gigantic “What the $*%!?” imaginable: Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer featuring The Legend of Zelda has been announced for Nintendo Switch, arriving in spring 2019. It looks like a beautiful topdown pixel action RPG in the style of classic Zelda games, except it’s not strictly a Zelda game. It’s apparently a sequel to Crypt of the NecroDancer, a roguelike rhythm game, that happens to be set in Hyrule and uses Zelda music! Oh, and you can play as Link and Zelda.
