The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Reviews
I like it, is what I'm saying.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD improves upon many common complaints from the original game.
I found "Twilight Princess" to be even better than when it was first released. It felt like coming home to one's childhood bedroom, revealing the impermanence of "home" while affirming the life-giving importance of having such shelters to return to from time to time.
For those who have trodden the path of Twilight Princess' Hyrule before then it's a judgement call as to whether you want to walk that road again. The HD remake isn't as mind blowing as others before, but if its been a long time since you've played it, then revisiting Twilight Princess isn't the worst game to go back to.
If you played the original GameCube version, don’t be surprised if that feeling you had playing the original feels lost in the twilight.
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.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is a must-have for players that enjoy the series.
Strong narratives don't age, and this one has a strong story to tell. Throw in quality port work that gives the art direction the detail and clarity that it really deserves, and Twilight Princess is a classic that has scrubbed up well enough to be a worthy Wii U title in its own right.
The decade old adventure has received a nice rejuvenation, that's fixed a number of gameplay elements, sped up inventory management and polished the aging, gritty visuals. That said it's also brought up a couple of new fiddly issues like laggy offscreen play and a lackluster new dungeon. Still The legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is nice update to one of the franchises best, a great way for fans to reminisce and a fantastic starting point for newcomers.
Rough horse and camera behaviour, combined with a mostly empty Hyrule Field, aren't enough to bog down what's otherwise one of the best titles in the Zelda series - and arguably in gaming history. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD's story of the worlds of Light and Twilight and their citizens is presented in HD glory, with strong emotional threads running throughout to make sure players want to spend time with these characters and save the worlds, and expertly crafted dungeons and puzzles guide them along that path. Most will likely consider Ocarina of Time to be the high point of the series, but take away the nostalgia factor, hold these two up by their merits, and Twilight Princess gives Ocarina a run for its money, while HD improves upon that in almost every way.
The greatest Legend of Zelda game of all time, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, is now in high definition!
Twilight Princess HD is a worthy remaster of one of the series' greatest. Polished visuals, new features and tweaks create the definitive package.
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.
Still a classic, but probably one of the weaker Zelda. Overall a good remaster, albeit one with occasional performances issues, but a good release nonetheless.

I had forgotten just how cool The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was as I was replaying the HD remake for this review.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD has many valleys, like locked-away DLC and way too many dull moments, but its peaks, including great characters and clever dungeons, are worth exploring.
The biggest drawback is the lack of any major new additions, aside from the upgraded graphics. The other changes are fine, but in comparing this package to some other remakes and remasters, it feels a little bit wanting.
While a couple of its old issues remain, Twilight Princess is an exciting and charming adventure through a darker Hyrule than usual.
I always remember Twilight Princess being my favourite Zelda game. Replaying the game in HD, I still feel the same way about it. No other Zelda game is yet to match the free-roaming world, the intense story or the magnificent dungeon design. Nothing beats taking Epona on a run through Hyrule Field, slashing at moblins on horseback. I expected more from the graphics upgrade after comparing Twilight Princess HD to 2013's Wind Waker HD, but this version of the game stands to prove that even ten years on, the game holds up well. I'd absolutely recommend picking this up for newcomers and veterans.
Quite simply the definitive version of Twilight Princess.
