The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD gameplay details

Nintendo has announced new details about the gameplay in the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD remake.

A number of gameplay changes have been added to the game. A new item in the game called the “Ghost Lantern” has been added. This item will glow when in the same area as a Poe (a kind of ghost), making the Poe soul-retrieving quest much easier to complete. Hero Mode, a challenging new mode, can also be selected when starting a new game. In this mode, Link will take double the normal damage and there are no heart drops.

Further, if Link finds Rupees in a treasure chest while his wallet is already full, Rupees will no longer be returned to that chest. Players are also less likely to reach the limit of their wallets, as they have been modified to hold more Rupees.

Iconic moments look better in high definition, but additional upgrades to the game make it play better as well. Using the Wii U GamePad controller, players can access their map and inventory at all times using the touch screen, as well as quickly transform into a wolf with one tap. Players will also be able to use the GamePad to access Miiverse. Miiverse posts can be decorated with dozens of new Miiverse stamps inspired by the game hidden away throughout Hyrule.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD will be released for Wii U on March 4, 2016.
