It's great to finally have a high-definition port of Twilight Princess - it needed one more than most. Its strong dungeon design holds up well enough, but its meandering pace is unlikely to win over its detractors. Still, if you missed it the first time, give it a look.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD (Wii U) Review
The most noticeable change in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is the graphics, particularly the textures. It all runs in 1080p HD, something that was simply not possible on the GameCube or Wii, and many textures are now vastly improved.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Review
Of the legion of Legend of Zelda titles, Twilight Princess has been among my favorites since completing it on the Wii back in 2006. I love the duality of the weird, trippy Twilight Realm contrasted with the healthier nature-like world of Hyrule.
Pros:
- One of the best versions of one of the best Zeldas ever made
- Gamepad or Pro controller is terrific
- mostly more precise
Cons:
- Tags

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Review
For the most part, The Legend of Zelda has had an almost perfect track record when it comes to scoring well with critics. Titles such as Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and The Wind Waker stand out
Pros:
- Wonderful upscaled visuals
- Despairing and dark story
- Great cast of charming characters
- Various improvements to suit Wii U
Cons:
- Occasional minor graphical glitches
- RIP hack-n-slash Wii Remote controls

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD review
This handsome HD remaster sees Zelda at its most expansive, but also its least adventurous.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD preserves the best and worst of the 2006 original. Its opening can be tedious, but it's worth enduring so you can experience such a magical world.
Pros:
- Gorgeous art and music perfectly preserved on Wii U
- Strange characters make for one of the series' best stories
- Later dungeons are inspired challenges
Cons:
- Constant interruptions during play over-explain basic game features
- Fragments of Light quests are the worst

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
History hasn't always been kind to Twilight Princess. Lauded at launch for its return to a 'grown-up' style after the cel-shaded, cartoon visuals of The Wind Waker, it's now dismissed by some fans as a flawed, forgettable reworking of the legendary Ocarina of Time.
Pros:
- Crisp full HD presentation brings the best from strong design
- An epic take on the more traditional Zelda
- Excellent dungeons
- gadgets and boss battles
- Improvements remove some pain from the game
Cons:
- Vestigial Wii showcase sections with dodgy controls
- Prone to padding

The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD review – the legend of?Midna
It's certainly not the best entry in the Zelda series, but a good quality remaster and the presence of Midna still makes this one worth returning to.
Pros:
- In terms of gameplay and dungeon design the game gets very little wrong
- Very large game world, with lots to see and do
- Midna is great and the remaster itself is excellent
Cons:
- Very few new ideas, and an unhealthy obsession with trying to recreate the magic of Ocarina Of Time
- Bland, and occasionally downright ugly, art design
- Still too long and awkwardly paced

Sitting down to play Twilight Princess HD , I was struck by how little I remembered about the original. I think in 2006 I consciously tried to overlook and ignore its worst traits, focusing on its surface-level innovations - its gritty art style, its motion controls.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was one of those games I always wanted to try, but I didn't have a Wii. I only got one a few years ago, when I was already reviewing games and writing for a living.
Pros:
- Solving temples | Being a wolf
Cons:
- Horse-riding controls | missing a fast travel point is a pain
