Anything been said about how they're handling the soundtrack? TP had some glorious tracks but midi really held them back.

cross-posting--

Come on, nobody translated yet the Famitsu article? The screenshots surely look pretty good.

Yes, there's a (partial?) translation:

Tons of amiibo info here.

Quoting part:

In this area, you cannot revert back to human, so you can’t use the sword, bow, shield or even any healing items, which means this is like a survival challenge. There are 40 basement floors, and when you clear the final floor while having the Giant Wallet, you’ll obtain the Bottomless Wallet. Each floor will have enemies that appear. Depending on the floor, there might be not only enemies, but some gimmicks as well such as tiles that spout lava. The lower you progress, the stronger the enemies will become. And finally about the Bottomless Wallet, the screenshot notes how you can use the Magic Armor for a much longer time with the Rupee limit increase.

So you get a trial cave you have to go through with a most limited move set, and you get more rupees for that?
Good riddance.

Yeah, pretty worthless.

Still buying it though for the promised Zelda U functionality. FML.

Man I just wish they'd make this game harder then it'd be perfect.

There is a Hero mode in which you take 2x damage. Stack that with the Ganondorf Amiibo (also 2x damage) and you take 4x damage (at least, I believe so at this stage).

Comparison footage between the Wii U version and the Wii version (mostly unmirrored, it seems) using the amiibo trailer via GameXplain

You can see more of how the textures have been changed. It also looks like draw distance has been improved (0:35), unless that's entirely related to the time of day and lighting.

First western info about the bonus dungeon via PR Nibel linked to in his thread:

When the physical version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD launches on March 4 at a suggested retail price of $59.99, it will include a beautiful Wolf Link amiibo figure based on the same character from the classic game. Purchasing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD and Wolf Link amiibo bundle will currently be the only way to get this amiibo figure. When tapped to the Wii U GamePad controller, this legendary lupine opens the Cave of Shadows, a challenging new bonus dungeon in the game. After completing the Cave of Shadows, players can save their remaining hearts to the Wolf Link amiibo, and then use those hearts inside the Cave of Shadows to replenish life energy. After conquering the cave, players can save a record of their remaining hearts to the Wolf Link amiibo and attempt to beat their score at any time.
