New Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD gameplay footage has been released in a new Nintendo Minute that gives a fresh look at the updated visuals and gameplay for the Wii U remake as well as a peek at the Wolf Link amiibo and its functions. You can watch the video, which includes a full eight minutes of gameplay, below:

The exquisite Wolf Link Amiibo features Midna balanced over Wolf Link, who stands on two stones over the Amiibo base. You can view a trailer just for the Amiibo below:

The Wolf Link Amiibo ships with the Wii U Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Special Edition, and provides access to a new area called the Cave of Shadows. In the Nintendo Minute, we see brief footage of the new Cave of Shadows area before the video takes you through the new look of Castle Town, Lake Hylia, and the City in the Sky. One interesting gameplay tweak: controls are improved for the transformation between Wolf Link and human Link, with a mere tap on the gamepad enough to transform Link without the need of talking to Midna.

Announced back in November 2015, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is coming out on March 4. It is the second HD remake of a Legend of Zelda game for the Wii U, with the first being The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD .

Still no news on the new unnamed Zelda title so memorably announced and just as memorably pushed out of the spotlight . Many observers expect the unnamed Zelda title to hit both the Wii U and Nintendo’s mysterious next console, the NX. As for the Nintendo NX itself, Nintendo’s next console may be less traditional than some may think, with one source reporting , “ Nintendo's NX may work with smartphones, PCs and even rival consoles such as PlayStation4.”
