Nintendo posted on Tumblr what the Zelda amiibo will do in Breath of the Wild. If you're lucky, you might even get a treasure chest with a rare item.

8-Bit Link gives you a random amount of barrels that might have rupees inside
OoT Link gives you a random amount of meat
WW Link gives you a random amount of fish
WW Zelda gives you a random amount of plants

 

[Danthrax]

I wonder what the difference between meat and fish are as far as in-game functionality.

 

[brandonh83]

Hell yeah.

We took pretty similar photos lol

 

[Zalman]

I'm glad to finally have an Adult Link amiibo that actually looks decent!

 

[Tubtub]

Anyone able to find the new animal crossing cards? Only best buy online had them. Gamestop doesn't even list them.went to the store and neither had them.

 

[-shadow-]

The Adult Link amiibo looks great, the rest is just meh...

 

[Thoraxes]

We took pretty similar photos lol

That's the order I had mine in till I decided I thought more people would want to see OOT Link in the middle, haha.

 

[Curler]

Does anyone know if they even made an Amiibo card album in EU for this new set? I have the first 4 (which I will some day complete...), but I haven't seen anything about the new expansion.

 

[PtM]

Back of the box shows 3 games that it works on: Twilight Princess HD, Hyrule Warriors Legends, & Super Smash Bros Wii U/3DS. Also mentions Breath of the Wild. So I would assume yes.

My question is if the new Toon Link doesn't for some retarded reason give an Adult Link fighter.

 

[Diggeh]

Mmm, the smell of new amiibo.

 

[bigkrev]

My Target mixed the Zelda Amiibo in the Skylanders section instead of the Amiibo section, which was a little confusing. Tons of stock of everything.

I picked up the 8-bit Link, and came home to a package including OoT and an 8-bit Link I didn't even remember ordering LOL

 

[AuthenticM]

I'm really tempted to buy the 30th Anniversary Modern Mario, but I'm afraid it won't have any other uses besides for Mario Maker. Could it be used in something else?

 

[Lupin the Third]

I reckon it would work as a "Mario" in other games like Smash, no?

 

[Danthrax]

Yep, it's a regular Mario in all cases where a 30th Anniversary Mario isn't specified.

 

[zigg]

Did anyone actually take 8-bit Link out of the box or nah

 

[Gengahrrr]

Did anyone actually take 8-bit Link out of the box or nah

Yup, he's got the master sword on his back.

My OoT Link is severely leaning to the left though ;/

 

[RaidenZR]

So Amazon lost my order of Ocarina Link and 8-Bit Link, but somehow delivered my Toon Link and Zelda set. Customer service was pretty much saying "deal with it" by offering the refund, telling me to order from third party sellers. Which is not the fucking point at all. So now, I'm waiting on a supervisor...

Pissed. Anyone else have an issue with their Amazon orders?

Edit:

Oddly, the order showed up while on my order page on their site it's marked as late and "undeliverable" due to damage. What the fuck? Oh well, happy outcome.

 

[Yarbskoo]

Oot Link looks really nice. The paint application isn't completely clean, but it's still probably one of the best physical representations of the adult Hero of Time I've seen.

 

[tenderbrew]

Got my toon double pack today but couldn't find the 8 bit or ocarina models at MSRP.

 

[Zonic]

Did they ever put the Breath of the Wild amiibo up for pre-order? I still need to get those & Yarn Poochi ordered from Amazon or Best Buy.

 

[tenderbrew]

Has anyone else stopped doing the pre-order hunt? Feel like I've not had trouble finding them for quite a while.

 

[Zonic]

I still pre-order considering they fall under the 20% Prime or GCU discount. I saved about $10 pre-ordering all the Zelda amiibo that came out & will probably save about $8 pre-ordering the 3 BotW ones, assuming the Guardian is also $13, but I could see him being a bit more like the yarn Yoshis.

 

[G0523]

Has anyone else stopped doing the pre-order hunt? Feel like I've not had trouble finding them for quite a while.

Yeah, I've stopped. I keep seeing sales on amiibo that drop them to less than $5 in a matter of weeks. That's all the incentive I need to not grab them on day one anymore.

 

[Phillips455]

Well. Qbby is getting a amiibo and a 3rd game. Aswell as a physical release of the trilogy in Japan.

More infohere

 

[Diggeh]

QBBY PLS SO GOOD

gimmie

 

[Zonic]

it's just a white box with eyes

i'll stick with my pink sphere with eyes, thank you

Spoiler

I'll be a bit bummed if they don't sell the amiibo separately, I already have the games digitally

ZONIC PLS

Here's hoping for a Mallow too!

 

[Bane]

Physical release of the Box Boy games AND an Qbby amiibo? Fantastic news.

I love the really obscure amiibo releases. I collect amiibo to display as a visual history of Nintendo so anytime something like this or Chibi Robo comes along it makes me so happy.

 

[Zonic]

Now I want to see a Push/Crash/Stretchmo physical collection with a Mallow amiibo bundled in. Though again, I'd just get the amiibo since I already have them digitally.

omg what if the Qbby amiibo is used in the next Kirby game & you get "Box" as a power, letting you basically become Qbby?

 

[Curler]

...the box is a real Amiibo?

 

[Diggeh]

Curler pls Qbby is a happy soul and a puzzle fiend

Just the amiibo box:

I just keeping on digging it

 

[maxcriden]

Is Qbby up on Amazon JP yet? Feeling like a Western release isnt a guarantee....

Is Yarn Poochy available for sale separately?

 

[Danthrax]

I believe only in Europe (and maybe Japan). Not in the U.S., though. Enjoy buying Yoshi's Wooly World but for a weaker system!

 

[Somnid]

I think most of the game bundled Amiibo were unbundled later. No reason to think this won't be the case here as well.

NOA skipping on an Amiibo release? Yeah right, limited quantities maybe but the US is the best performing Amiibo market.

I see your point on both counts. Thank you. I think with Poochy though I don't want to wait for an unbundled version to come to NA ... and for Qbby I don't want to wait at all. 😂

Im still kind of worried because we haven't heard anything about the Monster Hunter amiibo coming to US yet. Not even a US version of the game. Pls gimme monsters

Wolf Link tho

My question is if the new Toon Link doesn't for some retarded reason give an Adult Link fighter.

To whom it may concern, the new Toon Link works correctly for Sm4sh:

[Persona7]

OOT link is pretty cool. My twin pack got smashed to fuck.

 

[ZeroX03]

I guess I didn't notice it when I played the games and the Smash model is different, but the amiibo Toon Link and Zelda have really flat faces. The lighting makes them seem rounder in games, they look off in figures. Not bad but not as nice as I would like.

And 2D Link doesn't make the transition quite as nicely as Mario. That nose!

They're cool but not up to the Super Mario/Kirby lines.

 

[formated4tv]

Maybe a dumb question, but is there a current list anywhere of everything that's been released plus upcoming?

All of the lists I can find online at this point are a few months old :/

[Empyrean Heaven]

I just realized that its been almost a year since Cloud was released in Smash and we still don't have his amiibo. This is really getting frustrating.
