Best way to play Twilight princess on PC with 4K textures and amazing visuals
Nintendo released the HD version of The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess on Wii U back in 2016. Though the remastered version was an upgrade over the original Wii version, with overhauls in visuals, textures, resolutions and a lot more. However, the Hd version of Twilight princess has been surpassed by a fan who has done an amazing job at adding 4K textures to the original game which is without a doubt the best way to play The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess on PC.
โHenriko Magnifico Showcaseโ is a YouTuber who has been creating HD texture packs for classic Nintendo titles like Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, Wii sports and a lot more. His work is appreciated by retro game fans, as he improves the visuals of the game without affecting the original visual appeal intended by the creators.

Why should you play the 4K texture pack version over the Twilight Princess HD for Wii U
The 4K texture pack is based on the Gamecube and Wii versions of the game which came out back in 2006, although the Wii U version was released much later with rather small improvements. The GameCube version with the 4K texture pack not only looks better than the HD version but also controls a lot better. A lot of fans had complaints about how steering Epona in the Wii U port of the game is not accurate.
In addition to that you can also play the Wii version with the motion controls using the 4K texture pack. Better visuals and controls are more than enough reason for making this by far the best way to play Twilight princess on PC
