The new Poe Lantern in Zelda: Twilight Princess HD makes it easier to find souls

Daytime detection

As previously announced, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD will have new features that weren’t in the original. One such change is the new Poe Lantern item, which offers up a brand new way to complete the Jovani sidequest.

Previously, players had to collect 60 Poe souls to wrap up the quest, but with a catch — it had to be nighttime. Now, you can simply equip the lantern and grab them during the day. It makes things so much easier, and from my experience with the HD version so far, it’s a welcome addition.

A lot of people will probably claim this is “dumbing the game down,” but honestly, it’s just removing tedium. This questline wasn’t “hard” so much as annoying. After all, you still have to find the souls on your own.

Sick bonus burn incoming:

Nintendo has done well with removing tedium in the Zelda HD remasters. If they ever redo Skyward Sword they’ll have to cut half the game :0)
