It's 404'd now and it doesn't necessarily confirm anything for NA but Nintendo UK had up a page for the new Boxboy game that implies they're not getting the amiibo or the retail collection.

After finding out all this secret* amiibo use in BOTW I really wonder if Mario Odyssey if going to go all in the same way. As in each particular character (or different versions of the same character) does something different.

*Secret as in the best stuff you can potentially get from both the 30th anniversary and the Smash line wasn't even advertised whenever they would talk about amiibo usage for the game. Like they knew if they said something like "You can only get this past Link outfit or this weapon from a past game by using this particular amiibo" that some people would freak out in a bad way over it.

Speaking of, someone on Reddit created this awesome guide for all of the different effects the amiibos have. Spoilers, obviously.






Apparently, and this might be unverified, but there's code in the game for Skyward Sword and Majora's Mask amiibos, which probably explains those last costumes.


Honestly, I'm glad the amiibos finally have a decent use outside of MK8 and Smash.

I like how the BotW amiibos give relatively rubbish stuff you can find elsewhere lol. Dunno what else they'd do though since everything else is themed by game

The rarer drops from the BotW ones are nice. And you get a BUNCH of materials from each

Rapidly dropping the entire smash line onto the same spot (non Zelda stuff so no chest) gives you a ton of cooking supplies for buffs. It's nice to not have to go hunt mushrooms and meat which is the boring grindy part. Plopping down 20+ amiibo pile of stuff is hilarious looking too.

Choo choo, pardner.
Well I saw what the Wolf Link amiibo does in BoTW and immediately wanted one, went on Amazon to see it's $35 bucks for some reason?? Thankfully I work at a Toys R Us and we'd had a couple in stock for a WHILE so I went into work early and grabbed one yesterday, and it's a good thing I did because later in the day some old lady came in and just snatched up the rest of our stock. Whether she was getting them for birthday gifts or just scalping them I dunno but jesus, I guess I lucked out there.

And meanwhile, I have yet to see a Poochy amiibo anywhere. :(

Transfer your mii to another console. Some games might also require the amiibo to be registered so it could speed this up. I know smash brothers required it to be registered but I think that was to create the save data and name the amiibo. Which is rather annoying, if the amiibo is blank it should have just popped up the registration screen.

People are dumb.

Also, why are people cheating with the amiibo in botw? Makes no sense. Just scan every day and at some point you'll get what you want. In 1 week I have 1/2 the unique items so it can't take too long to get everything.

there are people who've done over 50 scans with a single amiibo and still not gotten the thing they wanted to get from it. i haven't bothered messing with the clock to do stuff like that, seems like too much of a hassle, but if the odds can be that bad then they really should have been set up differently.

i'm kind of surprised it's not something more like, first time you scan you get the unique cosmetic stuff or weapon, second time onward you just get a random thing

one of my friends has OOT Link so i've got to just hope i get lucky when i scan it when we hang out at their place occasionally to get the three outfit pieces, over the course of like, the next two years

For years the only amiibo I caved on was the Yarn Yoshi, because it was cute and yarn and not plastic.

BOTW finally broke me. Now I want all the Zelda amiibos. :negative: I have OOT link, 8-bit link, rider link and wind waker link is coming in the mail. I love my stupid nintendo dolls.

RNG is a motherfucker. I'm not going to scan 50 days worth of amiibo rewards using date skipping, but I will totally admit that I used save-scumming to put together the OOT link set quickly. And based on how many times it took me to get the cap, it would be months before I actually got it if I just scanned it once per day and accepted what it gave me.

Sorry but I actually want to wear that set while I'm playing the game. Now that I have that set I really wanted though I'm just scanning them once per day and taking whatever I get from each.

the last 15 floors of the cave of shadows are complete and utter bullshit, is there any way to save your heart-container total earlier than that so I don't have to grind my face against that stupid stupid poorly designed wall, or am I forever stuck with this 10 heart container wolf now?

I think you can save at the 2nd save point.

I never did the last 3rd of the cave and my wolf has 13 hearts which is far more than enough.
