‘The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD’ Announced With Wolf Link Amiibo!

Today was Nintendo Direct day, and it started off with a bang!

Twilight Princess is coming to the Wii U next year. It will feature upgraded HD graphics, new tighter controls and will feature Amiibo support with a brand new Wolf Link/Midna Amiibo!

Originally released for Wii and Nintendo GameCube systems in 2006, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is a visually remastered remake of one of the most critically acclaimed games in The Legend of Zelda series. The new game launches on March 4 in a bundle with a detailed new amiibo figure modeled after the Wolf Link and Midna characters in the game. The game will also be compatible with five other The Legend of Zelda amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. series. The game’s iconic soundtrack will be offered as a bonus for fans who pre-order the game from select retailers.

The bit they showed in the direct makes me extremely hopeful. The graphics look tighter, and the controls will use the control pad. My biggest gripe with Twilight Princess was the crummy motion controls. I never finished the game, and lamented never picking it up on the Gamecube to actually beat. Going to hafta give it a whirl this time around.

You can snag The Legend of Zelda; Twilight Princess HD on the WiiU March 4th 2016!
