Yes, but there was no confirmation of it in the trailer.

Cadence of Hyrule - Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda announced (spring 2019)
- Thread starter Deleted member 278

I mean, the 'jab' basically wound down to something like "It's taken Disney purchasing Fox to finally make a movie with X-Men characters in it" because the Fox movies aren't part of the MCU or made with the supervision of Marvel Studios.
Obviously, more playable Zelda is great, and I definitely am excited to play Cadence of Hyrule - and Zelda likely will be the first character I play it with - and the notion of having more games with Zelda as a playable character is something that should be pursued, including the mainline Zelda games. There could've been a multitude of jabs taken at the expense of Nintendo's reluctance to use the titular character of the Zelda series as its main protagonist.
I'd at least like the option to be there, since a wide range of difficulty is always welcome. The original game's characters ranged from very relaxed (Bard) to absolute nightmare (Coda). Maybe they can have different unlockable characters from both Necrodancer and Zelda, all with their own playstyles.
I'm sure someone at Team Cherry is modeling Samus as we speak to put her in Silksong as a playable character and will be revealed when they announce the release date of the game to throw Metroid fans a bone while we wait for Metroid Prime 4.
Edit: Remember Silksong is supposed to release on Switch and PC first.

Phantom Hourglass, according to the rest of the thread, unless people were mistaking it for Spirit Tracks? I've seen people say both of them in here. I only got to the final dungeon and never finished it so I was taking their word as more knowledgable, I assume you play as her during the final battle or something. But even if she isn't, subtracting one game from that list doesn't really make the argument any different at all. She's been playable multiple times across multiple games in multiple genres from multiple developers. It didn't take an indie dev to finally do anything that hadn't already been done, the statement even as a joke is still factually wrong.
We can all agree that she needs to be playable WAY MORE though!! ):<
How did it turn into this? Read the thread. It's ridiculous (and yes I'm also lumping myself into that as well)
I still don't understand how this is a thing.
I need an interview with the devs to explain how this came to be. This is fascinating to me. Like, we've had Indies show up in things like Smash, we've had smaller but still established devs have their own shot at Nintendo IP but I don't think we've had something like this before, where a small indie team basically gets to make their own Zelda X *their IP*.

Spike Chunsoft published Necrodancer in Japan, so they probably have rights for this sequel. Also... they published Witcher 3 in Japan? I didn't know they published large games like that. Lots of big Western RPGs on their page.
They almost certainly did a big chunk of the development here. Their role as publisher of Necromancer 1 and developer of other Nintendo roguelikes is a perfect mix for this project.

I didn't know they were the publisher in Japan. I guess that's how the Danganronpa crossover happened.
Doesn't the Switch version include all the DLCs?
Everyone please appreciate this design:
It's basically an amalgamation of the ALTTP/ALBW design that Smash uses as base, mixed with a tinge of Breath of the Wild Zelda to give her a more fighter-appropriate design. It's great.
Makes sense. I still think it's weird that Nintendo isn't publishing this title feat Zelda characters but given Spike Chunsoft probably got the rights to publish NecroDancer and any sequels that came, it fits.
The Musou series isn't a small IP like NecroDancer is. They're also both Japanese companies that had good relationships and cross-overs before that point.
Oooh. Yeah, I forgot about that one (despite owning it and really liking it.)
I can't remember though, but wasn't that huge on mobile platforms and had a lot of revenue. I mean, I guess it's similar, but it's been a while so my memory of it is that Puzzle Dragons was a pretty huge money maker, so while it's a super weird thing to just add Mario to it feels more natural to pair Mario + huge money maker than a critically acclaimed but still pretty niche and small indie game + Zelda.
But yeah, honestly forgot about Puzzle Dragons + Mario. These things happening with Nintendo always feel weird. Like how Shovel Knight was the first third party Amiibo. Still feels weird when Nintendo does cool stuff with western independent devs.
I dunno if that analogy really works. Disney literally couldn't make X-Men movies before buying Fox. Or do you mean "It's taken Disney buying Fox for a movie [from any studio] featuring the X-Men to be made""? Cause Nintendo has absolutely nothing stopping them from making Zelda games where Zelda herself is playable. They just need to do it more and their previous excuses for why they haven't are fuckin' dumb.
WOW that's a big get for the devs! Congrats to them.
I love that Nintendo is opening up they're IP to indie companies now. Hope we get to see more collaborations like maybe a certain racer being paired with Shin'en

IIRC this also isn't true, the series director has said in interviews he wants to make a stealth game featuring Sheik, hasn't he (or was it someone else on the Zelda team? I know it was someone)? Or do you mean like the upper level people who give the green light to projects have no interest?
Edit: Here's Miyamoto talking about it, at least but I could have sworn the director wanted to do it too. Unless there was some other stealth game he talked about wanting to make and I'm merging the two?
Fast Racing Zero developed by Shin'en would be a dream come true.
Koolooh Limpa!
I think that was done on purpose because of the LA Remake. :D
I think that was Retro Studios. That said, I'm 100% sure that there are people who work in Nintendo divisions who want this, but I'm skeptical that we will see the powers that be make that happen.
Isnt there a thread already about zelda appearances sparked by this game?. Please take that discussion there.
Yes is shitty that there are not enough games with Zelda but if you keep discussing it here karma will reward you with a Super Princess Zelda where her powers are her mood swings.

I thought Retro was the one who brought up wanting to do a Tingle game in order to make people like Tingle? lol
Wario Land made by Yacht Club! OMG.
I edited my post but you were too quick! Miyamoto talked about it in an interview a while back:
"Within the development team, too, there have been talks about how it might be cool to have a game that features Sheik as a protagonist. It's having maybe a Zelda spin-off with Sheik as a protagonist, for example, I don't think that's an impossibility."
But I could have sworn the director also commented on wanting to do it too, still trying to find it
Damn this used to be stuck in my head for weeks when I was playing Necrodancer, great time to dive back in.
left handed also, the bestNow, please appreciateAThe Good Boy:
This is that I never could have imagined coming true. It feels so surreal, but here we are.
Day 0 for sure.
Day 0 for sure.
I've asking for this for years. Samus vampire hunter would be awesome.
