•Sheik – Get shield, swords, elemental mushrooms and arrows with this Amiibo. Also rarely drops the Sheik’s Mask.

Other Zelda Amiibo
•Wolf Link – Spawn Wolf Link as a companion. It will have three Hearts to start with but can be increased by playing Twilight Princess’ Cave of Shadows. If Wolf Link dies, tap Amiibo again to spawn the companion.
•8 – Bit Link – Drops barrels full of rupees and a chest. The chest can contain weapons, shields and arrows. Also drops the Hero equipment set.

There are a ton of bonuses in store for those who try out the Zelda Breath of the Wild Amiibo features. Players can get a ton of exclusive items and even outfit Link in one of the few green tunics. For fans of the game, the Zelda Breath of the Wild Amiibo functions are definitely worth looking into.
I think the amiibo are included in targets buy 2 get 1 sale so that + a $25 gift card I got for my birthday is going to help with the BotW ones.
Could you please properly attribute the source here? I don't want to have to bring you up on RM plagiarism charges.
Welp, I laugh-snorted at work. Thanks. :haha:

I feel like a middle schooler again just staring at the clock, wanting school to be over so I can go home to play video games.

You know, not even two weeks ago I was looking at the Toon Link / Zelda combo and thought, I don't know what I can do with this stuff and put it back.

I like how they use the old Amiibo for things like this so that you can use them even years later but I hate how they use the old Amiibo because then you have an after-market like this. They can't just reprint the damn things?!?

Those random gusts of dust. Are those Korokus? If so, How do you make them appear?

There's are a couple hundred hidden Korokus. They are spawned in different ways. Under rocks, bow and arrow challenges next to pin wheels, magnetic rock puzzles, yellow flowers, drums, offering plates, lily pads.. I'm wondering if the dust gusts are a different type of challenge.

Cool cool.

I've decided to wait to play Zelda until I've finished (or mostly finished) Horizon. Horizon is really, really good.

This might be especially smart in light of the broken Blood Moon system (minor spoilers):

It works, for now. The only thing that's really crummy is that the joysticks function more like a d-pad: it's extremely difficult to apply just a little bit of pressure, so any game that would require precise aiming is going to be rough. I'm mostly playing baseball now, so it's only slightly annoying, but I'll probably have to save my pennies and buy the real mccoy as soon as I can.

PS it's called a "DualShoch" lol

I haven't played a fighting game in...I literally can't remember when. Maybe Tekken 3 at a party about 15 years ago. Are fighting games good any more?

What I wouldn't give for a new Fight Night.
