 ''Twilight Princess HD'' is compatible with the Wolf Link amiibo, as well as the ''Zelda''-themed amiibo in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (Series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series; This includes Link, [[Zelda (Twilight Princess)|Zelda]], [[Ganon|Ganondorf]], [[Sheik]], and [[Toon Link]]. amiibo support is unlocked after returning light to [[Faron Province]], although each character can only be scanned once per day.
-*'''Wolf Link:''' Unlocks the [[Cave of Shadows]], a new optional dungeon that is accessed from the collection screen. Structured similarly to the [[Cave of Ordeals]], Link must clear 40 floors of increasingly tougher [[Enemies]] while in wolf form; If successful, the player receives the [[Colossal Wallet]], a wallet upgrade that holds up to 9,999 Rupees (if the player does not already have the [[Giant's Wallet]], they will receive that instead, with the Colossal Wallet being the reward from [[Agitha]]).

The Wolf Link amiibo can also save a "checkpoint" of Link's current health, which will reset Link's health to that amount when scanned again. The number of [[Heart Container|Heart Containers]] Link has when he scans the amiibo will reflect Wolf Link's health in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.

+===Other changes===
+====Locations====
+*The isolated rock with the cradle in [[Ordon Village]] has been sealed off.
+*The heatwave graphic effect created by the lava in the [[Goron Mines]] has been removed.
+*As an easter egg, [[Chudley's Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium]] now features picture frames of screenshots from ''Breath of the Wild''.
+====Items====
+*Link will no longer return Rupees to Treasure Chests if his wallet is full.
+*Rupees no longer show a text box with their value after being picked up once, even after closing and restarting the game.
+*Wallet sizes have been adjusted: The base wallet now holds 500 Rupees, the [[Big Wallet]] holds 1,000, and the Giant's Wallet holds 2,000, as opposed to 300, 600, and 1,000 in the original versions.
+*The number of [[Tears of Light]] in each province has been reduced from 16 to 12.
+*A new Item has been added, the [[Ghost Lantern]]; This is received from [[Jovani]] after collecting twenty [[Poe Soul|Poe Souls]]. The Lantern lights up when a [[Poe]] is nearby, even during daytime.
+*The map now displays locations of [[Horse Grass]], minigames, [[Side Quest|Side Quests]], and where the game was last saved, as well as how many Poes remain in the current area.
+*Green [[Chu Jelly]] now has a text box when scooped and a description in the item screen.
+====Miscellaneous====
+*Link only needs to catch one [[Fish]] for [Sera]]'s cat, instead of two in the original.
+*Link's sword does not hit against walls, instead passing through them. This makes close-quarters combat more managable.
+*Link's slashing animations now leave trails.
+*The controls and handling for both swimming and riding [[Epona]] have altered.
+*Swimming and climbing animations are now faster.
+*Dialogue has been modified, fixing errors and typos.
+*Falling into lava now only deals {{H|1}} of damage, as opposed to {{H|2}} in the original version.
+*[[Darkhammer]] now has armor on its tail, although this is purely cosmetic and doesn't affect gameplay.
+*The game's trailer no longer plays when remaining idle on the title screen; Instead, the title sequence loops.
+*Midna now has a reflection, whereas she didn't in the original.
+==Development==
+[[Eiji Aonuma]] stated in an interview that the main reason behind the Wii U remake was to improve picture quality. He also explained that the Wii motion controls were removed in favor of the GamePad's gyroscope, since it focuses in the maps and plays a large role in gameplay. Since Aonuma and his team were busy developing ''Breath of the Wild'', they contacted Tantalus Media to create the game, since they had a good reputation for making HD games.
