After several pieces of concept art shared throughout the week, the latest Zelda: Twilight Princess HD message added to the series’ Twitter account is a bit random. But hey, it does come with a neat GIF!

Here’s the full translation:

“…It’s Malo. Today a so-called designer comes to the village to hold a special lecture… I see, he’s a dextrous guy… If I feel like it, I’ll ask him to renew the signboard for my shop.”

For those that are confused, this seems to be more like a demonstration as to how the designer drew the illustration, as shown in the tweet’s GIF.

Another new Twilight Princess HD tweet has been posted on the Japanese Zelda Twitter account. Similar to the most recent entry, today’s message focuses on a particular character and shows off concept art.

Here’s the lowdown on Ilia from “Malo”:

“…It’s Malo. Hey you… Are you frightened by Ilia? She’s normally kind, but when she’s mad she’s very scary indeed… such Ilia used to be naughty in the past… You see, she put things like a fairy sticker on her forehead… But when you look at it closer, it feels rather eerie.”

Yet another new tweet has been posted on the Japanese Zelda Twitter account. Today’s message is a little more interesting, as it contains concept art of Midna.

Here’s the translated tweet:

“…It’s Malo. This is Midna, the gal who is profusely well-informed about the Twilight Realm. Seems like there were various kinds of designs until her appearance became like this. Speaking of which, her name seems to come from midnight… “shadow” = “night” is simple, isn’t it.”

A new tweet about Twilight Princess HD was just posted on the Japanese Zelda Twitter page. Once again, “Malo” is the one who shared today’s message. This time we have a recap of Wolf Link’s abilities.

Here’s the tweet:

“…It’s Malo. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone being able to transform into a wolf without having to see the moon… So with sharpened senses, he can look at things that normally couldn’t be seen, track with scents, and even put up a barrier to attack (referring to the shadow circle)… Isn’t that surpassing the boundary of a wolf…?”

We’ve also included the newest screenshot from Twilight Princess HD above.

People have been picking apart the latest Zelda: Twilight Princess HD footage from yesterday’s Nintendo Minute. GameXplain has another video up, this time showing faster animations and improved load times. Check out the comparisons in the video below.

Another interesting tidbit has been spotted in yesterday’s Zelda: Twilight Princess HD footage from Nintendo Minute. In the game, players will have access to a new type of lantern item (different from the standard lantern) – possibly one for Poes.

GameXplain speculates that the lantern could be used to spot Poes while in human form. In the original Twilight Princess, you needed to be Wolf Link while using his sense view. Being able to track down Poes with the lantern could make things much more convenient.

This week’s Nintendo Minute went up earlier tonight. It was somewhat as a surprise, as the episode featured entirely new footage from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Two more tidbits about the game were shared in the video.

First, Kit and Krysta stated explicitly that you can now transform into Wolf Link by simply tapping the GamePad. You won’t need to talk to Midna to make this happen, making things more convenient compared to the original release on Wii and GameCube. It was also shown that you can touch the GamePad again to easily switch back into Link’s normal form.

Later in the video, you can clearly see Krysta moving the GamePad to aim the Clawshot. Gyroscope aiming was sort of a given based on the amiibo trailer (not to mention that it was in Wind Waker HD), but it’s nice to see it in action!

Thanks to Jeffery F for the tip.

Another screenshot from Twilight Princess HD was added to the Japanese Twitter account for Zelda today. You can find it above, and we have a translated message from “Malo” below.

“…It’s Malo. While in human form, you can do various techniques with the sword and shield, use things like arrows and bombs, and even attack while being mounted on a horse!? …Hey you… don’t push yourself too hard. Humans are still alive even if they have a weakness or two, aren’t they?”
