Then, we have a video showcasing the GamePad features of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, which are as follows:

easy item management via the touchscreen of the GamePad. Simply slide items to equip them on one of the four equipment buttons (ZL, Y, X, R)
aiming using the gyroscope (which works for all items where you aim in first person)
map displayed on the touchscreen, which will be pretty useful in some dungeons
camera control with the right stick

As for Miiverse, there will be a total of 50 stamps to find in chests, inside the dungeons and the overworld. You will be able to use them in handwritten posts on Miiverse.

The website also mentions some other improvements made to the game, such as: the addition of the Hero Mode (with mirrored world and double damage), the ghost lantern (which allows you to see Poe Souls even during the day), improvements for horseback riding and swimming, and some minor adjustements made to improve the gameplay experience in some areas.
