New information about “The Legend of Zelda Wii U” and “Zelda: Twilight Princess HD” have been found over the Internet and both are pretty interesting.

"The Legend of Zelda Wii U" to come in HD

Fans are definitely excited for the upcoming “Zelda” title for the Wii U which, according to Movie Pilot, is the first game in the whole series to be made featuring HD graphics.

The new game will feature the largest “Zelda” game map ever, helping the franchise move towards being a true open world game. This, according to “Zelda” producer Eiji Aonuma, is by large courtesy of the Wii U system's advanced capabilities.

"A huge, seamlessly unfolding world is something that can't be achieved if the hardware isn't advanced enough,” said Aonuma. “Ever since we made the very first generation of Legend of Zelda games though, we've had as large a world as can be realized with the hardware, so you could say it was inevitable that we've now done the same with the new Wii U title."

A new promotional video was also reported to have leaked recently. It was seen by GamerPros, who "out of respect for Nintendo and other parties involved," did not release the video. They did, however, say that it was good, possessing a “sheer level of production values.”

So far, the release date for the new “Legend of Zelda” game for the Wii U is still unknown. However, GamerPros speculate that it could be out by spring, based on what they saw in the video.

"Twilight Princess HD" gets a new dungeon

Yes, that's right. While “Zelda: Twilight Princess HD” is still months away from a March 4 release date, reports of a new Amiibo that enables unlocking of a new dungeon in the game has come out.

The new amiibo has been listed in Amazon France. According to Eurogamer, Amazon France has been considered a regular source of video game leaks, including this – because this listing is ahead of any official announcement from game maker Nintendo.

The new amiibo figure is a cool-looking Wolf Link. While other amiibos, such as Link, Toon Link, Zelda, Ganondorf and Sheik amiibos help in replenishing health and arrows, the new Wolf Link amiibo unlocks a new dungeon called “La Cave du Crépuscule,” which, according to Nintendo Insider, translates to “The Cave Of Twilight.”

Other details, including a new “Hero Mode," have also been included in the listing.

For sure, fans are excited about these details but everyone will just have to wait and see.
