The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is a video game released for the Wii U in 2016. It is a high-definition remaster of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and the second The Legend of Zelda game that is a high-definition remaster, following The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. The game was co-developed by Tantalus and Nintendo EPD and published by Nintendo. The game features amiibo support.

Differences from original
The game is largely based on the GameCube version, with models and level design most closely resembling that version. However, the game is in wide-screen, just like the Wii version. By virtue of being in HD, the game is in a higher with improved textures and lighter. The game overall is more vibrant and colorful, with the bloom effect of the original toned down considerably. While the GameCube and Wii controllers are not compatible with this version, the Wii U Gamepad and Pro Controller are; this is reflected in the UI on screen and in menus.

The menu is always on the gamepad while playing and can be accessed at anytime without pausing and disrupting the flow of the game. The ability to swap Link between human and wolf form is now tied to a button on the game play to increase gameplay speed. Both the gamepad and the pro controller use their built in gyroscopes for aiming, similar to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. The entire game is also playable on the gamepad through the Off-TV Play feature.

The amiibo of The Legend of Zelda characters can be scanned to unlock certain effects. However, only one can be scanned each day. Scanning the Wolf Link amiibo unlocks the Cave of Shadows, a gauntlet dungeon exclusive to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Scanning either a Link or Toon Link amiibo replenishes Link's supply of arrows in the game. If either a Zelda and Sheik amiibo is scanned, the hearts are refilled. Scanning the Ganondorf amiibo has the negative effect of causing Link to take twice as much damage from any enemy attack.

Hero Mode is an optional hard mode where enemies deal double the normal damage and hearts do not appear anywhere in the overworld. The mode can be freely turned on and off at any point. Scanning the Ganondorf amiibo in Hero Mode unlocks a hidden extra hard mode where deal quadruped the normal damage.
