Looking forward to my copy late this week. Finished it on Wii at launch, felt disillusioned/underwhelmed with the motion controls, and had a slightly redeeming experience when I purchased the Gamecube version some years later -- felt much better to me by traditional control scheme. I never finished that Gamecube version playthrough, though, so I'm quite looking forward to a version of the game that has refined visual presentation, the comforts of touch screen inventory management, and a control format that provides gyroscope aiming. 
It'll be the best control interfacing of any version of this game!
... also, I've collected all of the Legend of Zelda themed amiibo so far and I'm looking forward to the Wolf Link. Like, a lot, it looks really cool.

Is this available digitally? Will it be cheaper than the retail version since it doesn't come with the Amiibo? I can not afford the $80 they want in Canada, but I just want the game.

I thought Twilight Princess' masterpiece status was actually pretty, ehhh, disputed?
It's a rather divisive game, all in all.
Compared to the original the HD ver. has scored better on Gamespot, and worse on IGN, lol
Yes to both. In the US at least.
I'm disappointed Gamespot didn't rate it 8.8
I'm having a hard time thinking of any Zelda game where the word "undisputed" applies
Actually, Faces of Evil because everyone thinks it's trash

All Zelda games have lumps but beyond the shitty intro Twilight Princess has the best dungeons in the series and that's what counts for me.

Do you know how much the digital version costs?
Mine for Gamereactor is a solid 9/10 and includes a huge (and beautiful&varied if I myself can say that) 70 (!) 1080p screenshot gallery:

Man, that looks great. Especially the last picture.

Actually higher scores than I was expecting. Looks like the refinements all hit their marks. I don't know if I will pick this up or not, but I am getting anxious for a definitive Zelda this gen, so this might tide me over at some point.

Italian review from one of my collegues at I Love Videogames : 8.5/10
Schrödinger's cat of gaming people.
Every Zelda is divisive. I personally think it's the worst 3D Zelda (But still a great game) and others think it's a masterpiece and one of the best (if not the best) Zelda games.
Nice! Thanks for the screenshots.
I'm kind of shocked they would say this, given Groose's popularity and the game having one of the best incarnations of the Zelda and Impa characters in the entire series. Appreciation for the TP cast frequently begins and ends right at Midna.
Yes, I want at least one review with that number.

I mean it's basically a better version of OoT, how can it not be a masterpiece.
It's a Wii casualty.

I will personally say that I used to be quite lukewarm on Twilight Princess due to my own distaste for the motion controls on the Wii version, and that the game was redeemed when I eventually played the Gamecube version later. The art style was never really the issue -- I quite like the concept art for the game but I feel like the game has always sold that art style short in-game due to the low-grade graphics. I don't personally feel like the HD version is quite making the art style live up to its full potential still, but it is nonetheless nice to have it cleaned up.
Not particularly looking forward to playing as Wolf Link again, though -- never quite felt that it was very entertaining.

Nah bruh
The game has lots of problems - wolf link, tear collecting, rupees useless, way too easy, items limited in usage, empty hyrule, "you got a red rupee, it's worth 5", waggle/no widescreen, among others
The HD version seems to have fixed some, but it's still a middling 3D Zelda. Skyward sword would have easily been better if not for a few glaring problems of its own.
That's not creepy. It's known that Midna is quite the hornbat, after all.

Twilight Princess is my third favorite Zelda game(behind Oot and Majora's). The pace isn't nowhere near as good as Oot(probably the best pace in Zelda series) and even though I'm fine with the first part of the game I see how someone can be very annoyed with it.

Got my copy today. Was on the verge of cancelling since I'm knee deep in SFV and Digimon, but....ZELDDAAAA!!!!!
Haha, alright, there had to be someone with this opinion.
Bring on the manufactured hype!

Because it fails at many things as well. Wolf Link, exploration, lack of control of Day/Night cycle, Tears of Light, items that never get used after a dungeon, terrible pacing, bloated intro, off the rails final segment, passive atmosphere, no-challenge combat, Ocarina rehashes, mixed up audio priorities, dull coloring... the list goes on and on.
It does dungeons great, though. The non-combat parts of them anyways.
None of those registered as problems for me
That's fine if you don't care, but that doesn't mean those aren't legitimate flaws that the poster brought up.

I almost agree with this. Almost. I mean, I've actually said that in the past myself, but after playing OoT 3D, I'm not sure if I agree anymore. I think both OoT and TP are very comparable in terms of quality, though. They are two of my favorite games of all time. There are some things TP does better (best dungeons in the entire series imo) and other things OoT does better (pacing).
I do wish they had added a way to control the day/night cycle in the HD version though...
Obviously because they're too afraid to give it an 8.8 and wanted to redeem themselves by giving it a 9 this time around. :^)
