At least I could have imagined.

As someone who was excited to see what they can achive, this is clearly a dissapointment.

 

Sad Link seeing the bad remaster that his great game is getting. Expected a lot better.

 

First off, the graphical changes are so minimal that we needed comparisions to look at them. The first time Aonuma showed us The Wind Waker HD, the changes were so notorious that we were in awe. Some liked the changes, others, not so much, but nobody can't deny that it looked a lot different. In fact, it's one of the best looking games on the current console Wii U, 10 years after release.

On the other hand, Twilight Princess HD needs from comparisions and explanations to "see" the graphical overhaul...

Twilight Princess "HD"

 

Now moving on. We can't just be so fond on just graphics, right? Well, let's see if it at least add new content. Well, we are in "luck" because they added a new minor dungeon: the Twilight Cave or Trial of the Beast (most likely a wolf LInk Cave of Ordeals). And on top of that, the easy game that it is Twilight Princess can have a better difficulty: a hero mode with 4x damage! Finally. (There's a hero mode in the game that doubles the damage, apparently no need amiibo to unlock).

For the record, in Skyward Sword only bats do half a heart damage, everything else does form 1 to 2 complete damage hearts in normal mode. In hero mode does double the damage and no hearts to found, in a more difficult game.

The only incovinient: those 2 good additions are in the disc or download game we payed, but need to pay $26 more to unlock it. Those small figurines called amiibo are keys to unlock the 2 neat additions.

A Famitsu scan from this week, basically shows the final game.

 

And going forward, one of them will transfer data from this game, to the new one. What can we expect to unlock? From only ruppees, to dungeons. Twilight Princess HD is just the beggining...
