The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the next chapter in The Legend of Zelda series, Link can transform into a wolf to scour the darkened land of Hyrule. With the help of Midna, a mysterious being, you must guide Link through hordes of foul creatures and challenging bosses using new moves and a new horseback combat system. Many puzzles stand between Link and the fulfillment of his quest, so you must sharpen your wits as you hunt for weapons and items.

The Wii version is identical to the GameCube version, but is mirrored by design; ie. what is left on the world map in the GC version is right on the Wii. It also uses the Wii remote and supports true widescreen (the GameCube version can be widescreen hacked but the UI is slightly stretched).

Audio Issues
With DSP HLE, background music may play at a low value, sound effects may be too loud, and the music may not play or cut out randomly. Use DSP LLE to correct these sound problems.

Mini Map
Press "2" on the Wii Remote to hide the minimap.
 * With EFB to Texture the minimap will become monochromatic. Use EFB to Ram to fix it.

Bloom
Due to the low resolution bloom, a "ghost" image will appear around certain objects in areas with high amounts of bloom. There is no known solution.

In addition to the "ghost" look, the Wii version has a bloom offset. The bloom appears to the left and above where it should be. To fix it, use D3D11, or use OpenGL with the following procedure:
 * With OpenGL set the game to EFB to Texture, then fire up the game. After it is loaded, open the graphics configuration menu, and the bloom offset will disappear. Why this happens is unknown, but it appears to remain in place in testing.

Sun Rays
Twilight Princess uses a ray effect at various points throughout the game, most notably at windows and the fountains. The effect is very easily broken. How it is broken depends on the backend used:
 * D3D - Anti-aliasing and an Internal Resolution above 1x Native damage the effect
 * OpenGL - The GLSL merge greatly improves the effect in OpenGL. It is now only affected by Anisotropic Filtering and an Internal Resolution above 1x Native.

Hyrule Field Slow Down
As the player progress through the game, Hyrule Field will become progressively slower. See and. Previously, the "ZTP Hack" could be used to improve this issue. This patch has since been integrated into to the game's ini file. Fixed by.

D3D11 Darkness
With the D3D graphics backend the lens flare from the sun is glitched. When looking at the sun through trees of buildings, part of the effect shows through, displaying a small lens flare and an overall darkening of the screen. Only the D3D backend has this problem so use OpenGL to avoid it. See, fixed in.
