Zelda Gets The Skrillex Treatment, And It's Surprisingly Great

Yeah, I know. Skrillex game channels The Legend of Zelda. Seems like it might be bad, or at least, haphazard. But as it turns out, Skrillex Quest, a new browser game, is really pretty cool. It comes as something less of a surprise considering that it comes from Jason Oda, the same guy who yono arcade brought us that amazing Perfect Strangers game https://kotaku.com/the-world-deserves-a-perfect-strangers-video-game-now-5907128 The setup is interesting: A golden NES cartridge has gotten a piece of dust in it, and as a result the game within has become corrupted and covered with glitches. You, the protagonist, must take your sword and fight through a yono business sbi series of yono business rooms in an effort to defeat the glitches inside the game. All the while, Skrillex music plays.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"5964135","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"the-legend-of-zelda","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); The whole thing comes together well: the glitches are chaotic and colorful, and the music and cued sound effects work. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this promotional browser-based Skrillex game is totally worth your time. Skrillexquest [Official Page, thanks Jason!]
