I’ll cut to the chase: someone gave Link a voice. As everyone’s favorite silent protagonist for 30 years and counting(!), you’d think that Link might have some sophisticated musings on his experiences. As it turns out, he’s got something even better: the power of rhymes.

[*The Legend of Zelda: The Hero of Rhyme*](http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/680106?ref=killscreen.com) is a surprisingly accurate browser-based game that replaces all of the combat of the RPG classic with rap battles. Good rap battles. Like any other *Zelda* game, there’s winding forests, temples, and an inevitable face-off with Ganon. Na’vi is your more eloquent, still annoying fairy god-rapper. However, unlike the original series, you now need 500 “rap points” to top Ganon’s god-tier bars. You’ll regret challenging him too early—the game lacks a save function. One shot, one opportunity.

flow that would make Drake quiver in his Timbs

Despite the absence of *Zelda’s* trademark sword-spinning and pot smashing, the game is still just as satisfying to navigate, as totally unique rhyming showdowns wait around every corner.

[*Newgrounds* user Deklaration](http://deklaration.newgrounds.com/?ref=killscreen.com) posted the game in late August to warm reviews, and the game has since developed a small cult following, some users already requesting a sequel. Somehow, *The Hero of Rhyme* doesn’t completely undermine Link’s heroism—it almost makes sense that Hyrule’s most powerful warrior would *also* have flow that would make Drake quiver in his Timbs. After 30 years of kicking Ganon’s ass, it’s about time there was a new way to save the world.
