From Tingle's bartering game to a Mario cross-over of sorts, a look at Zelda's many spin-offs:
are gigantic and ingenious. But it feels to me like there's something else at play too - an emotional aspect that makes the wait feel even longer. It feels like we see Zelda's cast much less frequently than we see a lot of other characters. They have rich lives, presumably, that they live elsewhere. To put it another way, Mario turns up in a lot of games that aren't the main platform adventures he's known for. Zelda's characters, though. Zelda...
Earlier today I sat down and tried to construct a list of Zelda off-shoots just to see if I was right about any of this. And now I've done this: it's an odd list. Yes, Link has been in Mario Kart, which has always felt slightly sacreligious to me. And he's been in Smash Bros and Soul Calibur 2. He's great in all of these, but they feel a bit like contractual obligations, like a subpoena came all the way to Hyrule and he couldn't duck it.
Let's tackle these out of order. Cadence of Hyrule is an absolute stunner. It takes the clockwork rituals of Zelda - or rather it takes the series' love of clockwork rituals - and just transports it into a new genre. You're still exploring, smacking enemies around and solving spatial puzzles, but you're doing it to a rhythm. And the rhythm stuff is so strong, and the sense of unfolding rituals so innate, that after a few minutes it doesn't feel like an off-shoot at all.
