This game is fantastic. Move to the beat, great dungeons, fun characters. Just watching the lizardmen dance makes the game worth playing. You grt to switch characters between Zelda, Link, and Cadence with some secret cameos as well. Every Zelda fan owes it to themselves to give this one a whirl.

I felt like I was doing so well, patterning my enemies and timing my beats when all of a sudden "You're failing too much, do you want to go to easy mode?" and my self confidence tanked hard.

I almost started playing this game yesterday but decided to wait a few days, as I went to a gig on Sunday and stood right next to the speakers in the front. Two days after I can barely distinguish sounds.

God dammit Nintendo, you really want me to spend all of my wage this month in Zelda stuff, don't you?

Yes please?
In fact, could every big publisher throw out their franchises to experimental indie devs?
I'd name some amazing hypothetical big franchise-indie dev mash-ups here, but my brain is fried. Feel free to try in my stead!

Once I got into the flow of this, I really enjoyed myself. The exploration is particularly satisfying, as every square of the map has something to discover. It's a really rewarding overworld, and that rules.

I do have some notable issues with it. For one, the items are a little strange. Since their locations are randomly generated, you don't get moments where you get a new tool and learn how to use it quickly thereafter. I'd go like 2 hours before actually needing to use things like the sword thrust, and by then I'd forgotten about them entirely. The game also doesn't do a great job at communicating how exactly the interact. In the case of the sword thrust, nothing implies that you can cross gaps with it by bounding off an enemy. There's a puzzle later where you have to throw a pot at a platform with a block on it, which will knock the block off. It's an interaction that only happens once in the game and there's no way to know that's a thing that can happen otherwise. The Zelda series does a GREAT job at invisible item tutorials, and I felt that absence here.
It also has an extremely odd difficulty curve. The opening of the game was so tough. I was dying constantly because of my low hearts. But once I got in the flow, I went through 90% of the game without dying once. I completed all 4 dungeons in the same life. Then the last dungeon destroyed me. Died a bunch of times, and lost all my potions/money to buy them, so it got doubly hard on top of that.
All in all, super enjoyable, especially as pure Zelda fan service, but it also made me appreciate how cleanly designed actual Zelda games are.

What kind of goat fucker gave this 3 stars, the game came out today, no way they played it through.
I just played a little and it seems great, but I'm terrible at rhythm games, so it will take me a while to beat it.
Also I'm sad there is no physical release of this game, as a Zelda fan, …

Also I'm sad there is no physical release of this game, as a Zelda fan, I have every Zelda game and this will be sorely missed on the shelf.
