Twilight Princess HD: Hero Mode, New Item and More Info

Nintendo has confirmed a number of new additions to the upcoming Wii U port of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Aside from obvious visual improvements, a number of gameplay aspects have been updated to take full use of the abilities of the Wii U, as well some new features that will make the journey as whole a lot friendlier for players.

• Use the GamePad to manage inventory, transform to Wolf Link and view the map without pausing the game.
• Twilight Princess Miiverse stamps are hidden and unlocked throughout Hyrule to decorate Miiverse posts.
• Play off-TV using only the GamePad.
• New item Ghost Lantern helps detect Poes in the area; ideal for the Poe Soul quest.
• The number of Tears of Light needed to be collected by Wolf Link has reduced from 16 to 12.
• If Link's wallet is full when finding Rupees in a chest, they will no longer be returned to the chest.
• Wallet sizes have increased, meaning players are less likely to fill up their wallets quicker.
• Hero Mode is available from the start.
• Hero Mode makes Link take double damage and no heart-replenishment items can be obtained. The world is also mirrored, making dungeons reversed.
• Using the Ganondorf amiibo in Hero Mode makes Link take four times the damage until the current play session ends.
  

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD launches on 4th March in a bundle with the Wolf Link amiibo and game soundtrack featuring a selection of tunes, and as a single standard version containing just the game.
