The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD (Japanese: ゼルダの伝説 トワイライトプリンセス HD Hepburn: Zeruda no Densetsu: Towairaito Purinsesu HD?) is an action-adventure game in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series for the Wii U home video game console. A high-definition remaster of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, originally released for the GameCube and Wii in 2006, it was first released on March 4, 2016. The game was co-developed by Tantalus and Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development and published by Nintendo, and features enhanced graphics and Amiibo functionality. The release of the game marked the ten-year anniversary of the international release of the original, and was the third game in the series released on the Wii U.
Gameplay in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is largely unchanged from that in the original title, Twilight Princess. As in all previous The Legend of Zelda games, players control the series' main protagonist, a young swordsman named Link. In combat, Link primarily uses a sword and shield; his other weapons include a bow and arrows, a boomerang, and bombs.
