Review
I decided to buy Twilight Princess HD for the Wii U, even though I still have my original Wii copy. I gave it to my son as a birthday present, along with other games. The cool thing about it is that it came with a Wolf Link amiibo, which Iām really glad to have because you can use it in Breath of the Wild, which is why Iām playing this game now.
I got Breath of the Wild for the Wii U, because while the Switch looks impressive, there arenāt any games that Iām particularly interested in, other than BotW. So, I decided to save some money and buy the Wii U version, instead of the Switch and Iām glad I did. The Switch version of BotW seems to have more issues than the Wii U version, which surprises me. I thought for sure itād be a better game on the Switch because of the new hardware.
Iāve let my son play BotW for a while, while I played other games on my PC, but I recently decided to check it out. I played it a little bit, then found out that you can increase Wolf Linkās maximum amount of hearts by working on Twilight Princess HD. Thereās a special cave for you to access with the amiibo in the game and it can store your info on the amiibo. So, now Iām working on Twilight Princess, so I can have a better Wolf Link as a companion.
Controls: I think this game needed an HD upgrade and Iām glad it got it. But, this version of the game isnāt as physically fun as the original. You can use the Wii U Gamepad or the Gamepad Controller to play the game. You can play it on the Gamepad or the TV. Since you canāt use a Wii-mote, the motion controls are a bit watered down. You can move the Gamepad to look around or aim, but thatās about as far as the motion controls go. Since I actually enjoyed the Wii-mote motion controls, this is disappointing to me, but the game still plays well without it.
Iāve noticed that other Zelda amiibos work with the game, too, which makes me want to get more of them. I have Wolf Link and Smash Bros. Link, but now I want to get Ganondorf and Zelda.
- HD Upgrade
- Recommended
but not as physically fun as using a Wii-mote - amiibo functionality
- Upgrade Wolf Link in Breath of the Wild by using that amiibo on this game

Did you complete Twilight Princess on the Wii? I played it around the time you bought it but never completed it and sort of bailed around the water temple. I have a plan to come back and play it at some point though but it might be on some Switch re-release as I don't really play the Wii much these days.
Yes, I completed it once or twice. I'm past the water temple now. Vinny started playing it more, too, when he saw me playing it.
I've also noticed that the map has oddly been a bit reversed, or at least in some areas. When looking for Poes, I looked up the guide on the web. In one location, two were on the western side of the desert, but on the Wii U version that spot is on the eastern side. There was also one on the western side of the bridge to Castle Town, but on the Wii U version it's on the eastern side. I'm not sure why they changed the map.
I've also noticed that I've collected some stamps. I don't remember them being in the original game.
