Every asset of the original version has been overhauled to meet today’s standards of high definition gaming, and it’s glorious. Though there are still other titles like Mario Kart 8 which I think are better showcases of what Wii U can do from a visual standpoint, Twilight Princess HD is extremely pretty. So it was with a great deal of satisfaction that I basked in the intro video of Link riding Epona that plays at the title screen of Twilight Princess HD. Though I’ll defend graphics on older systems until I’m blue in the face, there’s still no denying that Twilight Princess, when played on a modern flat screen TV, looks pretty fuzzy. I keep all of my old video game consoles, so it hasn’t been all that long for me since the last time I fired up the original Twilight Princess. Though still not a perfect Zelda game, Twilight Princess HD is still certainly amongst some of the best in the series, making this return to Hyrule absolutely essential to franchise fans and newbies, alike. Thankfully, the transition to Wii U has been overwhelmingly beneficial to this now nearly ten-year-old game, with improved visuals, refined gameplay, and some fun new additions to fool around with.
Sure enough, with the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, Nintendo has completed the circle and brought this dark, gritty adventure to a new generation of fans. Nature abhors a vacuum, and so it was that when The Wind Waker HD hit Wii U back in 2013, it only seemed natural that Nintendo would go on to add a high definition sheen to its other GameCube Zelda title, Twilight Princess.
