Acquiring rupees Hyrule's currency no longer interrupts the game with text boxes each time you pick up one—a tiny godsend. Speaking of currency, Link's wallet sizes have been expanded so you can carry more dosh throughout the journey, and a new item, the Ghost Lantern, makes a specter-searching side quest easier to complete.
The best change affects the woeful fetch quests involving Wolf Link. Instead of the original game's 16!!! Tears of Light, you only need to scavenge for 12 of them to turn Link back into his human form. These parts are still eye-rolling slogs, but less, in this case, is far, far better. These changes, along with the shinier visuals and GamePad item management, make Twilight Princess HD the best version of the game available. Scanning the Wolf Link toy with your GamePad unlocks the Cave of Shadows, a level gauntlet where you defeat enemies to proceed.
The other Amiibo grant various effects, like restoring Link's arrows, hearts, or causing him to take more damage. These are fun elements that could mix up gameplay, but good luck enjoying them—they're locked to toys that are both difficult to track down and way too expensive for what they are.
So, if you want to unlock an option in a video game, you need to go through the joys of trawling eBay. That's not exactly ideal. It would be great if Nintendo offered these options without the need for what basically amounts to physical DLC. A Link to the Future The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD takes an artifact, polishes it up with some care to make it more palatable to modern audiences, and leaves the old flaws intact.
That's pretty much all anyone could ask for with HD remasters of video games, and although much of it is interminable, there's still a lot to love in Twilight Princess, like the creative dungeons and the charming cast.
If it can combine the bold art style and clever dungeon design of Twilight Princess with the brevity and fast pace of A Link Between Worlds, then we'd have something special on our hands. In the game's initial village, I wasted plenty of time messing around as "Cowboy Link," herding goats on my trusty horse, canoeing downstream, tracking down lost puppies, gliding around with chickens, summoning my pet hawk to knock down a beehive, practicing my swordplay on a dummy, and exploring hidden nooks and crannies in the peaceful hamlet.
I'm always amazed by how much enjoyment Nintendo can pack into a tiny, tranquil little town. Next up, I tackled a horseback combat section on a vast, rolling plain.
The sheer size of this location astounded me--it offered an even greater sense of scale than Hyrule Field the central hub in Ocarina of Time , but with nonstop action, as I fended off attackers from every side. This battle segued into a thrilling and surprisingly tough duel on horseback, as I jousted with the enemy leader who rode a hideous boar.
Dramatic stuff, indeed. All of that felt like a warm-up for the true meat of a Zelda experience--a complex, engaging dungeon. Spelunking through this Forest Temple reminded me of what's so amazing about the series' labyrinths: Each one offers a cleverly designed location, plenty of enemies to smite, tricky puzzles to solve, and well-hidden secrets to uncover.
This one adds two extra elements to further deepen the fun: First, Link recruits a band of helpful monkeys to swing him across expansive pits, and second, he also discovers a new toy, the Gale Boomerang, that can hit multiple targets with tiny whirlwinds. You'll have to master these new techniques to reach the dungeon's boss, a colossal, man-eating plant that, in proper Zelda tradition, requires a fair amount of mental prowess to defeat.
Now, the hardest part will be waiting until November to reenter this enchanting world This little Link has legs, and we're not talking about the ones wearing the booties--Nintendo's tales of elfin heroism in the face of unspeakable evil just never seem to get old.
When we first heard that an upcoming Zelda adventure would star a young, cartoony-looking Link, we grumbled with the worst of them. Then Wind Waker came out. Aside from some boring moments piloting a dinghy, it is nearly perfect. Seeing as how the Zelda series ran away with the popular vote and Link's cameo in the Cube version of Soul Calibur II helped make that game a best-seller, we're apparently not the only ones in touch with our inner elf.
Ultimate moment: In Wind Waker, it has to be your first visit to Hyrule Castle, which is on the ocean floor, frozen in time. Everything is black and white, with statue-like guards caught in midarmpit scratch. Rule 10 Screenshots of 'peasantry,' including but not limited to conversations on Reddit.
That said, this is fucking crazy. I can't believe this emulator is. A small update will be required to play the game on release date. The digital version of the game will not include the new Wolf Link amiibo.
Wolf Link opens up a new Cave of Shadows challenge in the game, a feature not available in the original Wii release. The new version has more detailed textures and improved lighting, including enhanced shadow animations. In the game's initial village, I wasted plenty of time messing around as 'Cowboy Link,' herding goats on my trusty horse, canoeing downstream, tracking down lost puppies, gliding around with chickens, summoning my pet hawk to knock down a beehive, practicing my swordplay on a dummy, and exploring hidden nooks and crannies in the peaceful hamlet.
