It had been almost 10 years since I’d last played it, but I’d never really stopped thinking about it. It reappeared like a familiar face, creased with age but also timeless, its beauty easier to see without the facade of hype and novelty.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is a, well, HD-version of Twilight Princess. Higher resolution, better textures. Still an excellent action adventure. [March 2016]

This is in my opinion the best Zelda game that was ever made. People compare it to Ocarina of Time but Ocarina of Time by the end of the day is also just inspired by A Link to the Past. Also I have no problem with taking concepts that work and re-use them. For me Twilight Princess is pretty much better than Ocarina of Time everywhere, except for some interpretations of themes and the inclusion of characters maybe. Nevertheless, I like the artstyle way more, Midna is one fantastic character that helps the story of the game, especially as Twilight Princess is one of the more story-focused Zelda games and that is very important for me and the dungeons feel way more organic. I really like the idea of Link becoming a Wolf and the atmosphere that the game has. The final battle is excellent, especially the very last phase and for the Wii U version in particular I like the controls with the pad a lot. Also the HD graphics of course - the game looks great on Game Cube already but it is amazing what this 11 years old game looks like in the Wii U.
I don't even want to talk too much about it anymore. It is just one of my most favourite games of all time and you should get it. Does it have its lengths? Sure. But those lengths never actually are a problem as much as it can be in other games, especially as you should not really be able to get lost and normally you are busy enough with a task that is still not long enough to really feel bored, even if it might be a bit repetitive. The only really sad aspect for me would be that a certain character is not included as much as I would like him to be.

This new version of The Legend of Zedla: Twilight Princess offers superb textures and some nice additions including the use of amiibo and direct access the Hero mode. If you missed this poetic adventure, you have to play it right now on this HD version.
Twilight Princess HD is a solid and convincing remake of a great Zelda game, but we are not totally convinced that is was really necessary.
Properly remastered piece, while not so detailed as Windwaker remake, yet it satisfies you and show how great the Twilight Princess is. If you have not played it, you have to try with this remake, and even if you already played the original you should consider a replay. The unique atmosphere and great design overcome the errors from the original.
Twilight Princess HD is about as straightforward as remakes come, but it finally presents that picture with exacting clarity, warts and all.
After almost ten years Twilight Princess still is a pretty decent adventure, though not close to being the best in the franchise. The world isn’t that interesting, and the dark story feels a bit outdated compared to more modern titles like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. And sadly the HD edition leaves us a bit unsatisfied, mostly because the lack of content and the fact that the visuals should be better.

More of the same Zelda formula, but with a bit of a twist. The ability to play as a puppy is always a nice little gimmick in a game, along with a mirrored shadow world to experience.
The story is actually pretty good in this one, surrounded with a bit more mystery rather than a clear cut 'go rescue the princess' plot. But mostly follows the same steps as other Zelda games. Never the less, there is plenty of content to discover if you do a bit of exploring.
The game play is a little bit more fine tuned than the last few 3d predecessors, but clunky as always. Platforming in the 3d Zelda games ****, but the combat is as fun as ever, even when you get to be a dog.
The Wii U version (just like most Wii U games) does come with the added advantage of the screen on the controller. This made the game a lot more enjoyable as the player is given easy access to the maps and inventory screen. Really saves you from having to stop and start to equip an item or check your location.
Overall, there's a lot of fun to be had for Zelda fans, I've played every version and this one is the best. But might be a little slow for most action RPG enthusiasts. Thumbs up from here still!

I thought the original versions ****, but man this one **** even more. I was hoping Nintendo had fixed at least some of the infinite flaws this game has, but they haven't! Hyrule field and the overworld is still empty, the boss battles are still too easy, the soundtrack still ****, the AI is still stupid, and the wolf link sections are still unbearable. Zelda fans, do yourself a favour and skip this game.
