Summary
To restore light to the world, team up with the mysterious creature Midna and embrace the darkness to transform into a divine wolf. Fight through labyrinthine dungeons, survive puzzling traps, and meet a cast of characters you’ll never forget in this legendary Zelda™ adventure.
The Legend of Zelda™: Twilight Princess is a critically acclaimed masterpiece, set in a massive world bursting with life—but also shadow. A dark figure from the Twilight Realm has invaded the world of light. As Link™, a farmhand turned cursed beast, you'll join forces with the impish Midna, the Hyrule Resistance, and trusted (albeit unusual) allies to survive a quest that will take you to the farthest corners of Hyrule and beyond… to the Twilight Realm.

It is, essentially, the same game, just in HD—and to be fair to Nintendo, that’s all the company ever promised it would be. But if this is the only Twilight Princess re-release we’ll get, I do wish they’d gone further with it, updating the models and controls and generally making it feel less like a GameCube game (especially for that steep $60 price tag).
Tap the Wolf Link amiibo that comes with some versions of the game to your GamePad and you’ll be swept off to a series of combat challenge rooms indistinguishable from those in the Cave of Ordeals from the original game. Changes like these aren’t the draw here for Wii U owners. The surreal, sometimes menacing story, the later dungeons, and the magically specific and soulful characters are what made Twilight Princess worth playing ten years ago, in spite of its very real flaws, and they’re what makes it worth playing today.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD holds plenty of memorable moments that’ve stood the test of time, and Nintendo’s high-definition update does a lot to modernize its look and feel. This cleaner, fresher presentation is still noticeably and disappointingly flat in some ways, but just past that are some of the best puzzles and dungeons to be found anywhere in the series.
