[Wii U] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD

This game came out over a decade ago and frankly I'm still impressed by the graphics. They're stylized/artistic enough that the game still looks beautiful rather than dated like most early attempts at realism. It has a cool story and great gameplay, there is lots to do even beyond the more straightforward tasks and the game has a good mix of puzzles and combat. Would recommend

Amazing

Was a little scared of buying from dkoldies. But after I received my twilight princess hd with case and all I was very stoked. It even came with the twilight princess sound selection disc. Very pleased and don't regret a thing will definitely be buying more games from them.

Amazing!

Hi DKoldies! I am very happy with my copy of TLOZ Twilight Princess. I was instantly reminded of my childhood days begging my parents for a brand new copy. The package came very neatly packed and without a scratch. I am happy with the service and have recommended your site to several friends.

Childhood game brought back in perfect state

The game arrived in a good condition, very well packaged. Disc didn’t have any scratches and when inserted into the wii it worked perfectly.It did took a while to arrive since it was through usps but that’s understandable. It was all a very smooth purchase from beginning to end.I absolutely love this game. I remember playing it on the gamecube and then in the wii, when I no longer had any of those, I played it on my pc with a modulator but it still was not the same. Recently I’ve received a wii and when trying to purchase these game from usual online shops, I found them to be to expensive for something that might not work upon arrival. Someone then told me about this website, I’ve verified the reviews and it seemed to be trustworthy so I purchased the game. It was ... MoreThe game arrived in a good condition, very well packaged.

Great Game! A great addition to the Zelda series

Ah yes, the "Zelda Cycle" is as reliable as the passing of the seasons. What is the "Zelda Cycle" you might ask? It's a pattern that takes place over roughly a decade wherein a new Zelda game is released to universal critical and community praise, then scrutinized, then bashed, then loathed and hated as "the black sheep" of the series, then reevaluated and slowly accepted again, until the final step wherein it is viewed as a beloved cult classic. For a long time, admitting you liked Twilight Princess was a statement you had to qualify and justify to others (right now it's Skyward Sword's turn on the hobbling wheel, judging by internet comments anyway). Not now though, because we've finally gotten to the point in the Zelda cycle where Twilight Princess is now rightly ... MoreAh yes, the "Zelda Cycle" is as reliable as the passing of the seasons.

Not now though, because we've finally gotten to the point in the Zelda cycle where Twilight Princess is now rightly viewed as a high quality classic. The same thing happened to The Wind Waker as well, which is now universally loved, and rightly so (As you can see by my review on that page, Wind Waker is my favorite entry in the Zelda series, which is my favorite game series of all time). For the record, I've loved Twilight Princess since I first played it roughly a decade ago, and my love for it has only grown each time I've played it since (which is about 5 or 6 times with a couple completionist runs in there, and I've played both the Gamecube and Wii versions). It has always been one of my favorite Zelda games.

Greener on this side. List of changes

Instead of reviewing the core experience presented 10 years ago (2006 original release) I'll just going to give you the list of observable changes to the game:Visuals up first, there's a noticeable difference. The grass is greener, higher resolution, revamped textures, detailed changes in polygonal models/objects, and addition of lighting effects which makes the world look less of a drab and pops out more than the originalHero mode: enemies do twice the damage (4x if you use Ganondorf amiibo)In terms of link's hand placement: Gamecube version on Normal (left-handed), mirrored wii version on hero modeLoading times are a lot faster, maybe 1-2 secs faster for every screen transition. Which doesn't sound like much, but definitely adds upTreasure boxes remain ... MoreInstead of reviewing the core experience presented 10 years ago (2006 original release) I'll just going to give you the list of observable changes to the game:Visuals up first, there's a noticeable difference.

You carry it around the world map and it glows whenever a poe is within close proximity. You still have to wait till night time (in game) to see themAmiibo support:Link and Toon Link restore arrowsZelda and Shiek: restore heartsGanandorf: 2x damageLink, Toon link, Zelda and Shiek is only 1 per day (resets at midnight everyday), while Ganandorf has unlimited use and can be toggled on or offWolf link amiibo (only available with retail limited edition version of game):Once you reach a certain point of the game, you can scan in the wolf link amiibo to access the Cave of Shadows where you battle a gauntlet of enemies level-by-level like the cave or ordeals, but you only play as wolf link.You are not able to go through all levels in your first go as there are level gates until you defeat the next dungeon boss in the main campaignGamepad Control:Option to play off screenGamepad allows for inventory screen/map displayEasily access items and equips, easily swap items in and out without having to pause the gameChange link to wolf form with a simple button press instead of talking to midna, which saves a second which will add up in the long runNew motion controls and aiming your weapon like in Wind Waker HDNote: you cannot play with wii remote and nunchuck, only optional pro controllerIn terms of presentation of the physical copy: I'm very impressed. The front of the box has a nice metallic glow to it and the box art is simply beautiful. I wish they included a poster of the box art so I can display it on my wall. The Wolf Link amiibo is also very detailed and has a nice weight to it compared to other amiibos I've ownedOverall surely the definitive version of the game. You'll play through the same game, but with better visuals, easier controls, and faster loading times.

Quality game, quality company

The condition of my retro game was a 10/10! I’ve loved my time playing as Link so far and I can’t wait to complete this quality game! I love buying new Gamecube games and DK Oldies helped me level up my collection! I even had a small problem with my order and the customer service helped me out no problem. It was a great shopping experience!

Thank you so much!

There was a bit of a problem with an address error but our neighbor was able to recognize the package and gave it to us much to our relief. But despite that hilarious event, the game came in great condition and excellent quality in the end!The story, gameplay and characters is just as how I remembered. I'm glad to be able to play it again! I will definitely consider order other retro games from DKoldies in the future.Sincerely, Gabriela.

The Past Returns

With some games, and some versions of games, locked to specific consoles, I've long wished for this game to return to my collection. A clear example of a HD remaster which shined as a best of class for this popular series and genre, playing Twilight Princess HD on the Wii U, seeing it in 1080P on a modern screen, and the visuals upgraded to compliment, to me brings the game to life the way it was always intended to be played. Enjoyed buying through DKOldies with the trust that what I was purchasing would be a sound copy I could cherish for years ahead, and now to share with my family as well.
