- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is a wonderful re-emergence of a wonderful game. The brand new HD visuals make the game look better than ever before, really capturing the beauty and majesty of Twilight Princess. The new game mode is fun, but it doesn't add anything of value to the overall TPHD feel. Otherwise it's the same Twilight Princess I'd played multiple times since the original launch on Wii back in 2006. It may not be perfect, but this remastering does one heck of a job bringing back an old classic from the dead.
Jason Fanelli · Mar 18, 2016 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD brings one of the Zelda franchises most beloved games to a contemporary platform, revamping some of the features and making room for amiibo functionality. While flawed in some ways, it gives longtime fans a good reason to replay it. It is clear, however, that this remaster was simply to give some kind of traction towards the eventual release of Zelda Wii U.
Natalie Collazo · Mar 14, 2016 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is a must-have for players that enjoy the series. It is a lot better than my memories led me to believe, and I cannot stress how good the dungeon design in this game truly is. The wait for a new Zelda game has been painful, but Wii U owners now have two remastered adventures that beg replaying. This timeless series never fails to impress every time I dive back into one of them.
Ken McKown · Mar 11, 2016 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Ten years later, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess finally sheds all of its baggage and finally is realized as the great game it always was.
Pramath Parijat · Mar 11, 2016 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - There’s a lot to love about Twilight Princess that often doesn’t get credit because it never could grip the imagination quite like Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, or Skyward Sword did. The HD rerelease is a good chance to hop back in and appreciate all that – the terrific character development, the unique gameplay ideas, and a very scary Bug Princess.
Jim Sterling · Mar 08, 2016 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Personally, I found this remaster to have improved things just enough to cement me as a fan of Twilight Princess. The world is far more vibrant than before, and turning off motion controls removes almost all the frustration I experienced with the Wii version. I have an enduring affection for Twilight Princess' idiosyncrasies, creepy Malo Mart and all, and I'm glad we've had the chance to see the title refreshed for the HD generation.
Becky Cunningham · Mar 07, 2016 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Replaying through Twilight Princess was decidedly enjoyable and cemented it as one of my favorites. The somber tone, often melancholic music, an impressive slate of dungeons, and intriguing characters always felt simply comforting, in a way. The transition to HD and few tweaks made in this re-release have only improved on what was already a stellar game.
Adam Vitale · Mar 07, 2016 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Little quality-of-life additions like GamePad item management go a long way with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. They manage to hide some of the game's less flattering blemishes, and let you focus on what it does best. While I still wouldn't put it near the top of the Zelda pile, it's still head and shoulders above most modern adventure games.
Chris Carter · Mar 02, 2016 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - This HD version might not be as eye candy-worthy as Wind Waker HD was, but that really is a minor quibble for such an amazing experience. Ocarina of Time is still the Citizen Kane of video games, but for pure mood and soul Twilight Princess is unparalleled.
Peter Paras · Mar 02, 2016 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - As a whole, Twilight Princess HD is a satisfying upgrade from the original game that’s absolutely at the level of Wind Waker HD. In some ways it even surpasses the latter in terms of graphical enhancements and, coupled with the strong gameplay variance, results in a remaster worth investing in for those who may have missed the game the first time around.
