Twilight Princess HD will contain a new item known as the Ghost Lantern. This object will emit a bright glow whenever a Poe soul is nearby, making the original game’s tedious soul-retrieval quest much easier to complete.
Whenever Link collects rupees from a treasure chest while his wallet is full, they will no longer be returned to said chest. This is because Link’s wallet has been altered to carry more rupees.
The total number of Tears of Light you need to collect has been reduced from 16 to 12. Now that we think about it, most of these changes are fixing rubbish fetch quests.
