Crypt of the NecroDancer / Cadence of Hyrule: research table, product / access matches and inspection gaps.
Return to timelineVERIFICATION STATUS
Broad coverage.
Open questions.
7 catalogue records; 7 indexed works. Shared branch points, embedded scenes and anthology containers are distinguished.
A research edition, not a completed full-interior audit. A missing date remains an inspection gap until the actual work has been checked.
Inventory / contradiction checks
- All three original story campaigns, the explicit AMPLIFIED prequel, SYNCHRONY and Rift checked.
- Hyrule base story, Octavo’s Ode and Symphony of the Mask included; character / music packs accounted for separately.
- No Zelda calendar position, year or cross-world sequel order invented.
- Pre-build table reviewed for duplicate titles, continuity conflicts, unsupported release-year dates and product / collection mismatches. Open coverage and inaccessible interiors remain listed.
- Three unnecessary selectors merged into one Cadence chronology. Octavo’s Ode and Symphony remain connected paths; unverified numeric ages are not presented as official.
Verification still required
- Complete campaign / DLC cutscene inspection needed for generation-level and Hyrule scenario relationships.
- Rift / Crypt continuity bridge and possible character-pack narrative additions remain open.

Its place before Rift is provisional: accessible sources did not establish an exact Cadence age or a confirmed interval between those adventures.
