I wonder sometimes if JoJo designed Legend's outfit to match Cadence's on purpose or if it was just chance that he looks like that.
Either way, if she saw him, Cadence would 100% accuse him of copying her XD

Okay but the sheer amount of unique worldbuilding and lore in Cadence of Hyrule.
Link as a fully realized, fully recognized hero, despite never getting the Master Sword. He knows what he's doing without destiny yanking him around by the collar.
Zelda able to operate singlehandedly, with as much dungeon-crawling ability as Link's often given.
Shadow Link also having a Shadow Zel counterpart, implying that it's a sort of magic mimic rather than a specter haunting the Hero specifically. Not just that, but a mimic with AGENCY that can choose to help you.
A canonical reason for Link being able to respawn after death, without breaking immersion.
The oracles? Possibly? Their colors suggest so, but who are these ladies? Where do they come from? How do they know the future?
Gerudo with designs that make sense for the desert!
And a knack for technology! Which is really sick!
Prince Ganondorf! Meaning that not only was he raised in Gerudo Town with his fellow Gerudo, but Link got his hero status WITHOUT taking him down!
Branching timelines? That are referenced in-game? And can be averted depending on which side of the game you want to play?
In fact, it's complete mix of the three canon timelines' placement. River Zora (called "evil Zora") exist. The overworld theme takes from Wind Waker's great sea. Deku scrubs and the Great Deku Tree are around. Sea Zora (aka the "friendly Zora" of OoT onward) are sharks. Zelda, Link, and Ganon have Downfall timeline designs. Octavo references Vaati in his design. There are BotW Bokoblins and Keese, Wind Waker kargaroks, Iron Knuckles and Darknuts both, Taluses and Lynels and Hinoxes... Where is it in the timeline? Who knows? Wherever your heart thinks it belongs.
Then there's how the Triforce calls to Cadence, like it did to Link in the Oracles games. How they have the power to isekai whomever they want, Link just happens to be the nearest fit 99% of the time. How Cadence has as much a claim to Power as Ganondorf is usually given.
And the ITEMS. The SWORDS. Where did Caladbolg come from? Where did Fragarach? Why does the Jeweled Dagger look Sheikah-made? Why can I put Link in glass slippers?
Also Yves my beloved. My little hero sprout. I love you.

Day 13 - Dagger from the inktober 2023 calendar!
I dedicate this day to Cadence of Hyrule! I loved the first Necrodancer and when I played the crossover version with Loz it was great!
I really enjoyed both the designs and the gameplay! And the story really struck me a lot! I'm happy to have dedicated a drawing to this game!
