Zelda: Twilight Princess HD lets you hold more Rupees
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 33 Comments
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD will feature some changes from the original game. For instance, thanks to a screenshot provided in this week’s Famitsu, we know that you won’t have to collect as many Tears of Light in Lanayru Province. Another change has been spotted as well.
In the image above, we see that Link is holding 2,000 Rupees. That’s actually double the maximum in the original game (1,000). Might the Giant Wallet hold a greater capacity, or will there be a new one introduced in the remake?

Zelda: Twilight Princess HD has fewer Tears of Light to collect in Lanayru Province
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 50 Comments
As many of you know, this week’s issue of Famitsu has a feature on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. While there are new screenshots, the magazine itself doesn’t share any new details. But there is one interesting and noteworthy change that can be found in one of the images featured in the article.
Above is a photo from the new HD version. Can you spot anything different? Well, it seems there are fewer Tears of Light needed to be collected in Lanayru Province. The original Wii and GameCube versions had 16, but this version only appears to ask for 12. It wouldn’t be surprising to see this change extended to Faron Province and Eldin Province as well – we’ll just have to wait and see!
