I don't know about you, but for me, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will forever be remembered as the game that made me worry about my good friend Nintendo. They'd always been so cute and family-friendly, yet here they were telling a tale about a kingdom enslaved to darkness, full of brutal goblin-like enemies and Lovecraftian horrors. Things got dark for a while.

Don't believe me? Check out this story trailer for Twilight Princess HD and tell me this wouldn't give you nightmares as a kid:

In case you missed it the first time around, Twilight Princess once again stars the timeless hero, Link, in a quest to save the kingdom of Hyrule. Only this time, he's got a shadow imp named Midna on his side and the ability to transform into a wolf. Twilight Princess HD also lets you change up the game further thanks to amiibo, which can unlock a special dungeon, refill your arrows, refill your hearts, or make Link take twice as much damage depending on which character you use.
