In addition to sounding good, the soundtrack also really emphasizes the mechanically relevant beat. The music, which is made up of keyboard and drum-heavy rock remixes of Zelda’s most iconic songs, is really fun to listen to, especially as a fan: I never knew the Link to the Past overworld music would benefit from a synthy keyboards up front, but it does.

Like in Necrodancer, when in combat you must press buttons to move and act in time with the beat of the song playing.

As a result, these crypts mostly lack the clever level design in Zelda’s best dungeons, but they still feel intense because they present Cadence of Hyrule’s most intense combat/puzzle challenges. There are even familiar tricks like hiding cavities full of extra enemies in the walls for you to stumble upon. They adhere to Zelda tradition in that you need open locked doors and chests to find a map, a compass, and a “big key” on your way to the boss’ lair, but feel much more like Necrodancer because their structure relies on tools like shovels which are used to dig through some walls and torches to increase visibility in dark dungeons.

It also shows the Gerudo and Deku civilizations are still surviving in the Future Hyrule after Ganon takes power and defeats Octavo, as well as new enemies such as Ropes, Vires, Goriyas, and Taroses, while enemies like Moblins, Bokoblins, and Tektites wear Skull Masks allowing them to survive an additional hit.įuture World is accessible either in the dedicated Symphony of the Mask mode or in standard Story Mode.“Dungeons, on the other hand, are completely procedurally generated aside from a hub entranceway. The Masks available to the Skull Kid are the Deku Mask, the Skull Mask, the Darknut Mask, the Zora Mask, the Goron Mask and the Mask of Truth. Symphony of the Mask follows the story of the Skull Kid, who has the ability to change Masks in order to make use of their respective powers, akin to the Masks from Termina in Majora's Mask. Symphony of the Mask introduces the Skull Kid as a playable character, as well as a new map, story, and Songs. It is available as part of the Cadence of Hyrule Season Pass. Symphony of the Mask is the third downloadable content pack for Cadence of Hyrule.
