Banjo and Kazooie, a bear and bird, must collect shiny items in puzzle-like platforms to defeat Gruntilda. The twist is that these environments are extensive recreations of Hyrule from Ocarina of Time, complete with Nintendo in-jokes. The game is meticulously detailed and charming. The music is Zelda classics remade with Banjo-Kazooie’s instruments. Totally inspired! This is typical of official collaborations like Cadence of Hyrule. Death Mountain, Kakariko Village, The Lost Woods, and Kokiri Forest have been beautifully remade for the new gameplay style. You’ll explore nine worlds with 100 Jiggies, 900 musical notes, countless eggs, Jinjos, Honeycomb pieces, and Easter Eggs I can’t spoil. Custom Mumbo transformations exist!
