In addition to the officially confirmed amiibo dungeon for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, Nintendo has shared a few new features for the game this morning. In response, Nintendo is adding a Hero Mode for Link’s ordeals, signified by blue hearts on the interface, a right-handed link (similar to the Wii version’s mirroring of the entire GameCube game) and a complete lack of free hearts dropped by defeated enemies. Anyone who remembers the frustrating Poe soul-hunting tasks in the original Twilight Princess should enjoy this addition. Hero Mode, a challenging new mode, can also be selected when starting a new game.

Rupees: If Link finds Rupees in a treasure chest while his wallet is already full, Rupees will no longer be returned to that chest. This includes the ability to access the map and inventory on one screen while continuing to explore the over world on your TV.
The HD re-release of “Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess” is much more than just a visual upgrade.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is due out for Wii U on March 4, 2016 in North America and Europe and March 10 in Japan.

Of course, the game is also being remade with full Wii U gamepad support, including the ability to play only on the GamePad. Also, some of the data stored on the Wolf Link amiibo figure can also be used with The Legend of Zelda game for Wii U, which launches this year.
At the beginning of Twilight Princess – arguably its slowest period – you must free Link from his cursed Wolf form by collecting hidden droplets of luminous magic, called ‘tears of light, ‘ in three of the game’s provinces.
