The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is a high-definition remaster of the Nintendo GameCube and Wii title The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD before it, while the game's models and geometry are untouched, the game's textures have been mostly redone to make the game look cleaner for a 1080p display, and several gameplay changes have been made to accommodate the new hardware or fix issues in the original game.

At release, special bundle copies of the game will be available featuring a Wolf Link amiibo, with the game's soundtrack as a preorder bonus.

Gameplay

The game is mostly based on the original Nintendo GameCube version of the game. Similar to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Link can equip up to three items to the X, Y, and R buttons, while L is used to talk with Midna. Also similar to The Wind Waker HD is that the Wii U GamePad screen is used for the player's inventory and map, though the player can switch to use the GamePad for Off-TV Play at any time. The player can also tap a button on the GamePad to instantly transform Link between his normal and wolf forms.

Another new feature in this game is Hero Mode. In addition to enemies dealing twice as much damage, the game world is mirrored for this mode (similar to the Wii version of the original game) and hearts are no longer dropped. Unlike The Wind Waker HD, the player cannot switch between normal and Hero Mode at any point.

By scanning the Wolf Link amiibo, the player can access the new Cave of Shadows. Any data saved on the Wolf Link amiibo can be transferred to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Using the The Legend of Zelda character figures gives the player items or hearts, or, in the case of Ganondorf, makes the game more difficult.
