The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD out now

Nintendo has confirmed the release of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD for Wii U home console.

Players will take on the role of heroic Link, who fights to restore light to a world that was shrouded in darkness. Link joins forces with the impish Midna as he fights his way through dungeons, solves puzzles and goes on an adventure. One of the most distinctive features of the game is Link’s ability to transform into a wolf. As Wolf Link, he can access places he normally can’t. Plus he can use his senses for tracking.

Aside from the enhanced visuals, some new elements in the HD version of the game include improved controls as well as Hero Mode, a tougher challenge in which Link takes double damage.

At launch, physical versions of the game will come with a Wolf Link amiibo figure. When tapped to the Wii U GamePad controller, this allows players to gain access to the Cave of Shadows, a challenging new bonus dungeon in the game. After completing the Cave of Shadows, players can save their remaining hearts to the Wolf Link amiibo to beat their score at any time.

Some of the data stored on the Wolf Link amiibo figure can also be used with The Legend of Zelda game for Wii U, which launches in 2016.
