The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is a Wii U remake of the Nintendo GameCube and Wii game,. It was officially announced via a Nintendo Direct webcast on November 12, 2015 and will be released on March 4, 2016. It is the second remaster of a Zelda title on the Wii U following. A bundle set containing the Wolf Link amiibo will also be released.

The game features graphical upgrades from the original version and runs at a higher resolution. It also features some gameplay changes, which Nintendo will announce in the future.

Gameplay
Twilight Princess HD uses the world orientation of the GameCube version in which Link is left-handed, which had previously been reversed on the Wii version to better accommodate players. Similar to The Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD uses the larger resolution to display a less-intrusive HUD during gameplay. Items can now be equipped to three slots — X, Y, and R, while the L button calls Midna. The right analog stick can be used to move the camera freely. The mini-map has been shrunk and now features a translucent black background.

Like in The Wind Waker HD, the game makes use of certain features of the Wii U Gamepad to streamline gameplay. The Gamepad screen can display a separate map screen for dungeons, and can be used to instantly equip items without having to pause and bring up the inventory menu. It also enables the use of the Gamepad's gyroscope to aim, such as aiming the Gale Boomerang or aiming with the Bow. The Gamepad screen can also be tapped to instantly transform between Link's human and wolf forms without having to talk to Midna, but only if that ability has been unlocked. The game also features off-TV play.

Graphics
Twilight Princess HD features reworked graphics with primarily new textures, giving the game a cleaner and higher-definition look. As opposed to the 480p resolution of the GameCube and Wii versions, Twilight Princess HD uses the 1080p resolution that is standard on Wii U. This provides for six times the number of pixels, resulting in additional clarity, especially for faraway objects and precise aiming. Most textures in the game are touched up with added details, with notable examples including Link's hair, Zant's armor, and several background textures. Some textures have been changed entirely, including grass in Hyrule Field and a stone Triforce symbol in the Sacred Grove. These textures look less "muddy" and blurred than in the original. The game also sports brighter lighting and less intense bloom than the original releases.

Like The Wind Waker HD before it, Twilight Princess HD is not a complete graphical remake as most of its character models and geometry (for instance, the cliff of Hyrule Field shown in the opening sequence) are left untouched in terms of polygon count.

amiibo Support
Twilight Princess HD will be compatible with the Wolf Link amiibo, along with the Super Smash Bros. series of Zelda amiibo, including Link's, Zelda's, Ganondorf's, Sheik's and Toon Link's amiibos.

The Wolf Link amiibo unlocks a new optional dungeon called the Cave of Shadows at a certain point. This Cave of Ordeals-styled dungeon features 40 floors in which Link must clear it as a wolf, and cannot revert back to human form. Each floor features enemies as well as obstacles to clear. If Link has the Giant Wallet when he clears the dungeon, he will receive the, allowing him to carry up to 9,999 Rupees. The Wolf Link amiibo can also save a "checkpoint" of the number of remaining Hearts Link has preserved, after which scanning it will restore Link's health to that amount. The Wolf Link amiibo will also be able to transfer saved data from Twilight Princess HD to The Legend of Zelda for the Wii U. It is currently unknown what kind of feature the Wolf Link amiibo will have in the other game.

Scanning the Link or Toon Link amiibos will replenish Arrows, while scanning the Zelda or Sheik amiibos will restore Link's Hearts. Scanning Ganondorf's amiibo allows Link to take twice as much damage, and will turn his red Heart gauge blue to signify the change. Unlike the other amiibo, Ganondorf's amiibo can be used multiple times per day.

Other Changes
