While Zelda fans the world over wait patiently for more news on the upcoming Breath of the Wild 2, Nintendo is serving up a vintage helping of Zelda action this summer in the form of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD.
Landing on the Nintendo Switch on 16th July, the release of this high-def remaster of the original Wii game is accompanied not only by a pair of new Skyward Sword Joy-Con, but also a brand new amiibo featuring Zelda and her Loftwing companion.
Launching on the same day as the game, this Zelda / Loftwing amiibo is the only figure confirmed to work with the new Switch version of the game. What does it do? Tapping the amiibo to the right Joy-Con enables Link to move between Skyloft and the world down below at any time without the need to find a specific location — a brand of ‘fast travel’, if you will. Handy! Response to the notion of ‘locking’ this feature behind an amiibo purchase has been mixed, to say the least, and as you can see below, this Loftwing amiibo also costs more than your average Nintendo-branded NFC figurine. Still, try as we might, we’re finding it difficult to resist.
