Breath of the Wild Amiibo unlocks revealed

Register the amiibo through the Switch console settings.

Enable Amiibo in game.

Once done you bring up the Amiibo ability similar to using Shieka Slate abilities. It'll drop a zone on the ground where amiibo rewards will drop once scanned.

You don't need to register them.

Max the godsend. Managed to get Smash link from there.

For anyone who needs Smash Ganondorf and Zelda, toysrus also has them at $12.99 each. I ordered them both and Luigi. Free shipping @$29 orders.

Just need Smash Toon Link and Shiek...HAHAHAHhahahaha :(

My pleasure, glad you were able to get it. And thanks for the TRU tip. Do you need Smash Toon Link, though? He gives the same bonuses as 30th Anniversary Toon Link.
 
Got everything I wanted:

Already had Wolf Link.

8bit Link and OOT Link from Target for their classic outfits.

Smash Link from the Nintendo Store for his classic outfit.

Smash Zelda from TRU for the Twilight Bow.


Don't care about the Toon Link costume. I love WW but it's the least cool looking classic armor. Also don't care about the exclusive weapons because they'll break and I want to main the Master Sword anyway. The Twilight Bow is an exclusion, though, because of the infinite ammo and shooting in a straight line.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
So I haven't bought BotW yet but it's my understanding that all weapons break in the game? Is there anyway to fix them? Do these amiibo weapons break too?

How about the Armor/Outfits/Tunics can they break too?

All weapons break, including amiibo weapons. No way to repair them. However, you can just rescan the amiibo to get another one to drop. If it doesn't drop the first time you scan, reload your save and try again. Armor does not break. Amiibo armor cannot be dyed, though.

Do Tunics in this game have Armor Ratings or Stats? Or are they just glamour? And if they DO have stats would I be missing out slot on Defense if I stick with an amiibo outfit instead of wearing the possible BiS Outfit set provide by the game?

They have good baseline stats and can be upgraded, so really no reason not to wear a classic outfit if you like how it looks.

That said, BiS is BiS and none of these armor pieces are going to be BiS. Some of the weapons, maybe, like the Twilight Bow.


edit: more info from reddit
They only give 3 defense each, which is the same as the basic Hylian set. Sheik's Mask has a secondary effect (stealth up) as well as the Fierce Deity set (attack up), but those are also just simple stat clones of later-game items. All these items can be upgraded like the regular ones, but they require very rare materials, such as Star Fragments and rare gems. You probably won't be fully upgrading one of these amiibo sets for a long time.
I would say use your amiibo as soon as you can, because you'll be finding better equipment soon enough. Enjoy the novelty now, because they won't be very useful later on.

Thank you for the information! It looks like I will simply pick up the two appropriate amiibos to get Epona and the OoT Outfit.
 
So how reliable is Brickseek for the most part? A Walmart on my way home from work is showing 36 Smash Link's available which seems...ummmm odd.

Now that I know that....not really. 30th anniversary looks much better anyways. I'm guessing I also didn't need Smash Zelda.

Shiek where are you? I want exclusives for cheap.

To GAF's mind, what amiibo drops are best? I was thinking of picking up wolf amiibo, but I don't have TWP save and was concerned about three heart pet wouldn't survive long. I was then thinking princess zelda but you can get the shield later in the game. Then I thought about the Guardian (ancient arrows) but then I figured I'd just ask the experts at GAF.

Smash Zelda for the Twilight Bow and OOT Link for the OOT outfit. Or Smash Link for the TP outfit plus Epona.
 
Which link drops the Twilight Bow? Is it the same one that gives Epona. Got the horse yesterday and didn't stable it and it disappeared so guess that's gone lol
 
I'm sure they're breaking embargos.

Also, it's nice to know none of these items are exclusive, amiibo just unlock them earlier.

I don't think that's the case. Nobody has been able to confirm that you can get the exclusive amiibo unlocks - like all the Green Hero's Tunics, weapons and Epona - by any other means than by using the corresponding amiibo.


You also get parts of the original LOZ Hero's Tunic and the Magical Sword.

Those posts are 2 weeks old, mate.

Wait, what?

Has someone confirmed that they found all those items in-game without the need for the corresponding amiibo?

The official guide said the costumes can only be obtained with the respective amiibo. Except for
Dark link
which can be obtained through a certain shop after a side quest.

Uhh. Is there any more info on that last thing?

Sure if you don't mind the spoilers (all side quest related):

Once you do the side quest in Akkala to find Kilton at Skull Lake (pick this up from the stable northeast of Lake Akkala from a guard there), Kilton will open his "Fang and Bone" shop and start wandering around selling monster gear. He adds new items to his stock over time as you sell him more monster parts in exchange for his made up "Mon" currency. Eventually he will offer all three pieces of the Dark Link set from OoT for a lot of Mon.
 

boiled goose

good with gravy
Nintendo can't make them more worth while without pissing people off. You bring up the splatoon amiibo but a lot if people where upset that if you wanted more single player content you had to spend $30 to get more.

Id like it if they game you a bunch of cosmetic stuff.

Profile icons, themes, skins in other games, etc.

Omg. Thank you. I know what I'm doing this weekend now.
 
Crap.
Where can you get the Toon Link, WW Link, WW Zelda, and OoT Link these days? I checked all the regular stores and they're out and the reseller prices are insane.

Back in December
They were sitting on shelves waiting to be bought
But they waited
And waited
Until BoTW made them have a purpose
But then the scalpers came
Now they are held for ransom
:(

Toon link was back in 2015 😂😂


Nintendo of America really is a dumbass company , animal crossing amiibos changed everything, its back to limited supply so going forward , I'd pre order any Zelda ones x Cloud, Bayonetta

Fierce Deity link will be rare af at this rate , majoras mask has a huge fan base and it's a cool ass link 😎

Sure!

There's a guy named Kilton on the left eye of skull lake in the Akkala region. Speak to him there and he begins showing up on the outskirts of main villages from 8:00pm-400am. He deals in monster parts and has his own currency called mon. You sell things to him to get mon and then buy things (Like the aforementioned Dark link costume). It's sold in separate pieces however. I belive the total you'd need is 3997 Mon.


*whoops I've been beaten.

I remember when Sheik was a pegwarmer, and now she's going for $70+. Hey Nintendo, seems like maybe there's some money to be made here with another production run. Or would have been if you didn't move so slow. By the time they get a restock of them out everyone will have moved on to the next game.

This really can't be emphasized enough. I don't know what idiot at NoA decided to underproduce the NES Classic but ship enough Animal Crossing amiibos for every man, woman, and child in the US to own two. The Targets here are still just a solid wall of all that Animal Crossing shit, slashed to $5 in a desperate hope that someone, anyone, will buy them.

And of course, the BotW amiibos were ordered in tiny quantities, probably as a result. It's just mind boggling.

Damn. I usually pre order these things but I figured the inventory issues were resolved. Guess not.

Fuuuuck. I never thought I'd want all these LOZ amiibos and now I need all of them.
 
Man, I had seen those Smash Bros Link amiibos everywhere before this month and now theyre all gone.

I gave in and picked up the buy 2 get 1 free @ target on the Guardian, Ganondorf and 8 bit link amiibos. Really want that throwback outfit.

How many times do you need to use it before the exclusive item appears? So far nothing too special.

It depends! I've gotten some exclusive armor relatively easily, but Ganondorf's and Zelda's exclusives are nowhere to be found. Also, you can use an amiibo and reload a past save to scan it again. Even with this, I haven't found their exclusives yet :(

Is the buy 2 get 1 still going on at target?
