In what could be the worst kept secret ever, Nintendo confirmed in last night's Nintendo Direct that the rumours were indeed true and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is receiving a HD facelift for a release on the Wii U on 4th March 2016.

As the Wii U is backwards compatible with old Wii discs you might be questioning if this HD remaster is worth throwing your hard earned rupees at. Thankfully GameXplain has spliced the HD footage released by Nintendo with some captured footage from the Wii version, so you can see for yourself how the two compare.

As you can see below, the Wii version looks quite blurry by today's standards. Australian, Melbourne-based studio Tantalus appears to have done a solid job in bumping up the resolution from the original 480p to 1080p, and upgrading the textures so everything looks sharper.

Take a look at the video for yourself and let us know if you think the upgrade will be worth splashing out on, or whether you'll really be in it for the Wolf Link amiibo.
