Every so often a gem of a game comes along for a console. The biggest problem is, that console will eventually be replaced by a newer better one, so how does one share a great game with a younger generation? With a remake, of course. Shinier graphics, updated character designs, improved game play, throw in a few extras and you have yourself a fun new-ish game to share with everyone. This is exactly what The Twilight Princess is. A great game from the beginning of the Wii now remastered for the Wii U.
Twilight Princess has the familiar Link hero character in an action adventure game where he must fight, solve puzzles, and explore his way through his adventure. This time, the story line and art is a bit darker, but this doesn’t distract from the same Legend of Zelda formula we all know and love. Link must find a way to save his world from the Twilight dimension and its evil king, Zant. In order to do this, we meed some new characters like Midna, who teaches Link to change into his Twilight Wolf form as well as familiar ones like Zelda and Ganondorf.
As this is a remaster, you may be wondering what was added to make this a must buy. Well, there is added Amiibo support which opens up a new Wii U exclusive dungeon as well as power up abilities with other Legend of Zelda Amiibos. Your Amiibo also has the ability to carry over data into the next Legend of Zelda release planned for later this year.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is available now for the price of $59.99 and includes an exclusive Wolf Link / Midna Amiibo. It is also available for download from the eShop for $49.99 but this version obviously will not include the Amiibo.
This definitely looks like a game that a lot of my nephews would enjoy. The holidays will be here before we know it, so it is great to have ideas for gifts.
This is going to be a great gift for upcoming holidays. Thank you for sharing!
WOW – great post. Sounds like a great game for sure.
Can you believe I’ve never played Zelda??? My four kids all have and my nephew has too. In fact, he used to LOVE It once upon a time. He’s grown now. I bet he’d like this for his daughter now. 🙂
That looks like a fun game
This sounds like a game that my daughter would really like.
It’s so nice to see great games like the Legend of Zelda being remastered – it’s a lot of fun to be able to play a newer, better version. Great news that they are compatible with new releases too!
