New Zelda Anniversary Amiibos Out Now, Functionality Revealed
Nintendo is celebrating The Legend of Zelda's 30th Anniversary by selling amiibos of 8-bit Link, Wind Waker Zelda, Toon Link, and Ocarina of Time Link. Each figure is available now and provides certain rewards in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild when it arrives in 2017.
8-bit Link yields a random amount of barrels, Wind Waker Zelda gives a random selection of plants, Toon Link gifts the player a random amount of fish, and Ocarina of Time Link comes with a random amount of meat. Lucky players might even get a treasure chest with a rare item.
Breath of the Wild is coming out in 2017 but you can check out the latest trailer here and our hands-on impressions from E3 here.

Our Take
The rewards are small but probably nice if you intend to get these amiibo anyway. Toon Link is my favorite but I'm still holding out for the amiibo of everyone's favorite Link.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
