With the release of "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD" has come increased focus on whether the game, which has arrived on the Wii U now, is better than the version that was first created for the Wii. As the reviews have started to arrive, it is clear that the game has managed to generate a lot of enthusiasm among the loyal followers of the series.

In its review, Gamespot outlines how the current "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD" is very often dark and violent compared to the version that arrived about 10 years ago. However, it goes on to add that some things in the game have not changed and the game is full of "wrinkles" from the past version. These primitive elements in the game are quite apparent and they seem out of place when compared to recent RPGs, which lay more emphasis on action. Meanwhile, many of the strong points of the game that released on the Wii remain and this includes very little handholding. This means that gamers have to explore and investigate the surroundings and follow their curiosity. This sense of being able to discover clues, societies, races and cultures allow gamers to experience some of the magic that other games in the series lack and ultimately, it becomes a strongpoint.

In it review, IGN points out how the modernization of the game made some of its flaws glaringly obvious but that does not mean that "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD" is a bad game. In fact, it states that some of the boring aspects in the game lead up to stellar movements including puzzles and dungeons. It goes on to describe these as some of the best that have been featured in the gaming series so far. It adds that emotional high points in the game such as a battle against a boss called Fyrus, which has been slickly executed, helps bring back the magic that classic "Zelda" games are known for.
