Rumour: Twilight Princess HD contains new dungeon unlocked via amiibo, Hero Mode and more
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U | 88 Comments
Update: The paragraph containing the amiibo info has been removed from the product listing. Looks like Nintendo gave Amazon a slap on the wrist.
The HD remake of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will be out in less than two months, however we still don’t know a lot about this version’s new features. A product listing on Amazon France may have just revealed some new details though.
Most importantly, the product listing sheds some light on the game’s amiibo features. Scanning any amiibo from the Legend of Zelda series will allow you to replenish your hearts, arrows and presumably other consumables. Scanning the Wolf Link amiibo, however, unlocks a new dungeon called “The Twilight Cave” – and remember, data recorded on that amiibo can be transferred over to the new Legend of Zelda game on Wii U.
Hero Mode, by now somewhat of a staple of the series, will also be back. You don’t have to unlock it this time – it can be selected right from the start.
Just like in Wind Waker HD, you can also access your inventory directly through the Gamepad’s touch screen, allowing you to select items without pausing the game.
Although product listings on Amazon have traditionally been a pretty reliable source of info, I would still advise you not to take this as 100% confirmed.
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!

Rumor: Zelda: Twilight Princess HD to support Wiimote and nunchuck controls
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 39 Comments
Update (11/26): Bumped to the top. The Wii Remote and nunchuk icon has been removed from the page. So it was either an error, or something was let out earlier than planned.
Original (11/25): It’s absolutely certain that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD will work with the Wii U GamePad. It’s possible though that the Wiimote and nunchuck – a setup used in the Wii version of the game – will also be compatible. The Nintendo.se website lists both options on its Twilight Princess HD page.
Despite the listing, we won’t say that this is confirmed yet. After all, there have been occasions in which Nintendo website pages have carried incorrect information. Still, it’s certainly possible, and it’d be quite interesting to see how it’s handled if true.
