Pre-Orders For New Legend Of Zelda amiibo Go Live On Amazon UK

Pre-ordered! There was no way I was going to miss out on them!

They've been available to preorder for the past couple of days. Clicked on one of the links to confirm my suspicions and now I know why this article is up. It's an ad.

Snapped them up. I'm such a mark for Zelda stuff.

Oh maybe not, using link in post it works

I really want to know more about their functionality in BotW before I decide which to get, as if they do essentially the same as their Smash Bros. Collection counterparts (assuming that they'll also be compatible), then it would be pointless to have more than one of each character, and I already have a Link Amiibo.
Toon Link and Zelda I'll be tempted to get... I do like the design of Zelda, but I'm a bit unsure about the Toon Link, so might go for the regular version instead (depending on functionality).

Aaand..... skint!!

@A01 They'll launch next March with the NX version of Smash Bros. It'll be the definitive version including all the DLC and new characters such as the return of the Ice Climbers.

Are they smash compatible?

I regret so much now getting Smash's Toon Link.... I'd loved to get this one instead!

These seem like cash grabs seeing that they don't do anything new from the originals.

@Xaessya They are cash grabs like all amiibo really. The worst money grab was the colour swap Splatoon amiibo. Talk about lazy, all they did was change the colour in the moulds. Couldn't even give them a new pose. These Zelda amiibo at least look nice.

Well, yeah, they are completely cash grabs, but you can sure bet that I'm going to get them!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE @Xaessya While Sligeach has done a good job this thread I did notice he didn't comment on the 2nd half of your statement, so I am. Do we know these don't do anything different from the originals? Do we know what they do at all in BotW? Do we know if they'll do anything different in SSB Complete Ed on NX? Would seem weird to me to release 3 Link at the same time and have them all do the same thing. Not that I would put anything past Nintendo Logic, but these should at least each do something different in BotW, even if that something is just shade the game like Uncharted 4. I bet a lot of people would be excited to see BotW cell shaded or 8 bit retro, or blocky as all get out N64. OK, maybe not a lot, but enough. And maybe only in the NX version. Gotta push it somehow.

I just hope they don't all do too much. As much as I want a game like Skylanders or Lego Dimensions that's amiibo based, I do not want that game to be Zelda. I'm already not buying FFXV, which I've waited 10 years for, b/c of the season pass and additional DLC. I won't get Zelda BotW if I need all the amiibo. I don't need 8-bit or cell shaded mods, so I'm good w/ that for those who do. But Zelda already has it's own set of 3 amiibo. Plus Wolf Link amiibo makes 8, that's about $100 if you "need" them all.

So I'm getting PM:CS Friday and being thankful for it's short length and monotonous Toads b/c it doesn't have any amiibo. Seems like we have 2 choices in gaming today - $60 minimal games or $60 games w/ $20 season passes and toys to buy. Though crazy Nintnedo tried to have it both ways last year w/ $60 Mario Tennis Ultra Smash that was limited to 1 arena and had amiibo support, should have been a free download w/ what there was, unlocked w amiibo, 1 arena; and Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, which was limited to tapping amiibo to the Gamepad and not much else, what a horrendous idea all around. So PMCS may be short and filled with monotonous Toads, but no DLC, no amiibo, and no waiting for NX like apparently many other games. I'll take it. Seems like we loose 1 way or the other, so I'll take "now and $60".

I tried to pre-order the wind Waker 2 pack of amiibo at my local gamestop but it was not avaliable

These are awesome gonna make a nice addition to the amiibo.

@A01 yeah i need my bayonetta, dammit.

One of the things I hate is that now there will be like 5 different amiibos for link. None of them really react differently for any of the games except for Toon Link with SSB. It's all just for aesthetics

I'll pre-order these asap.

@HawkeyeWii Just to point out... there will be three Links, two Toon Links, and one Wolf Link once this set comes out... plus the Archer and Rider Links for BotW... but as has already been pointed out... all we know so far is that the anniversary amiibo will have the same backwards compatibility as the existing version of those characters... they could all have completely different functions within BotW.

Regardless, Mario still beats Link at 6 amiibo if you include the colour variations (7 if you want to include Dr. Mario).

Eh...imagine those Amiibos also unlock something for the other games.

Oh that OoT one is so nice looking that I will be getting that one.

I stopped buying amiibo after the 12th one. Just get the world of Nintendo figures or the bandai s h figuarts

So tempting, I absolutely love Wind Waker.

"All four figures come out on December 2nd. Which ones will you be ordering?"
we ALL know the answer to that.

I need more amiibos

Don't judge me: I love the 8-bit Link.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I pray for the Ice Climbers to come back...

Now if only we get stuff like this for Metroid's 30th anniversary for this year too.

That Toon Zelda is adorable!
