Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog crosses over with Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series in a free Sonic: Lost World DLC level available from the Wii U eShop starting today. Lost World‘s “The Legend of Zelda Zone” dresses Sonic up in Link’s garb and pits him against familiar enemies from Nintendo’s classic franchise. What starts off as a lighthearted trek through an approximation of Hyrule Field soon turns deadly, as Sonic must defeat Deku Scrubs, flee rolling Gorons, and face off against the most sinister enemies of all — Cuccos.
This isn’t the first time that Nintendo has loaned out its franchise settings for Sega’s latest hedgehog adventure. A Sonic: Lost World level based on Yoshi’s New Island hit the Wii U eShop back in December, pairing Sega’s mascot with Shy Guys and Piranha Plants against a pastel-colored backdrop.
