When you die, you lose all your rupees and a number of temporary items including boots, rings, shovels, and torches. “Though you keep these items permanently once you find them, some of Necrodancer’s run-like qualities return.

In addition to sounding good, the soundtrack also really emphasizes the mechanically relevant beat.

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.
