"Great idea! We have 3 games that could use their own Amiibo! Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword! All three of these games have such a diverse cast of characters, like Skull Kid, Fi, Twili Midna, Zant, Ghirahim, Ganon, Hero's Spirit, and all other kinds of people! What Amiibo are we going to make?"

"We're just going to make 3 more Links."

Maybe the side characters for the previous Legend of Zelda line didn't sell well?

Oh I guess there's just Toon Zelda for the 30th Anniversary stuff. Other than that yeah they're all based on Link artwork for each Zelda game.

The only non Link/Zelda amiibo they have are the Bokoblin and the Guardian unless you count Ganondorf smash series. Like that's it.

I was really hoping the Majoras Mask amiibo would literally be Majoras Mask or Fierce Deity Link

Not just Young Link with a mask :(

Oh well, I'm only buying it for the costume anyways.

I wouldn't completely rule it out. The whole year is the 30th Anniversary for Zelda right? So there's still like half a year left they have to release more. The Smash line is just about to finish as well.

It would also time with the BOTW DLC. Makes sense that the Link line is the priority since these amiibo unlocks are already in the game now.

I was really hoping for Skull Kid to be the MM Amiibo. I didn't think they'd literally just make 3 more fucking Links. Like holy shit could you imagine if the Mario series amiibos consisted of 9 different Marios?

Zelda series now has:

Wolf Link
OoT Link
Toon Link (Wind Waker version)
Classic Link
Archer Link
Rider Link
MM Link
TP Link
SS Link

Mario series has got just 5 Marios. Normal / Gold / Silver, and 2 versions of Classic Mario (technically the classic Mario is Mario Maker series and not Super Mario series but I'm being generous).

5 Marios, and of the 5, 3 are just special recolors and the Amiibo ID is otherwise the same as their recolor cousin.

Zelda series has given us NINE DISTINCT LINKS

LIKE HOLY SHIT CALM DOWN GUYS YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE FUCKING CHARACTER.

They were always going to make a Link for each mainline game for the 30th Anniversary line. It's kinda the concept of the thing. They're even basing it on the original concept art for each game. No idea how far they'll take it but I think they've covered all of the Links now lol. Doubt they'll bother with the handheld games.

Why is there no Zelda 2 or LttP Link then?

Good job now there will be <_<

As I said they have Zelda DLC and half a year to go. I'm sure there'll be more as long as these current ones are selling. Hopefully they'll add some side characters then.

This is a really good question.

I've bought zero Zelda amiibos (besides Wolf Link but that came with TP so doesn't count), but I'd be all over a Link to the Past Link amiibo.

They could provide more "Hero" outfits. They're all crappy anyway. 60 defense and bad set bonus and enormous upgrade costs. I think it would be cool to get the Magic Hammer from LttP link and Zelda 2 link could drop an alternative Dark Link set that you can upgrade.

How many have there been so far anyway? I can see;
- Link to the Past Link (Zelda 2 looks pretty similar to classic Link already)
- Ocarina of Time Zelda, Shiek and Ganondorf
- Twilight Princess Zelda, Midna and Ganondorf
- Majora's Mask Skull Kid
- Skyward Sword Zelda, Fi and Ghirahim

Being possible and still coming. Some of the Zelda and Ganondorf's are kinda redundant so they could be skipped. Maybe some other random surprise like 8-bit Ganon.

I could see them doing a separate line for the BotW champions but probably not.

I'm thinking I'll get FF7 Cloud, instead of AC Cloud. And Bayonetta 2 Bayonetta. Just not sure whether I'm going to get Male or Female Corrin.

I dunno what it is with Nintendo and wanting there to be a trillion Links.

There have been two in every Smash Bros game since the Cube, and what was that one game where there were four Links?

How many Link amiibos does this bring us up to now?

I bought that and put the Wolf Link Amiibo in it.

1. It's the only "Link" Amiibo (Besides BotW Links) that doesn't have the master sword equipped already (seems weird for it to be both in his hand and in the pedestal.

2. The stones that are part of the amiibo base match the stand colors perfectly to the point where you'd probably suspect the whole thing was a single object.

3. Wolf Link finds the Master Sword in TP AS Wolf Link as it's what allows him to break the curse placed on him by Zant, so in a way it's kind of recreating that scene from TP.

4. Wolf Link is child-timeline anyway.

I mean, that's what the artwork the amiibo is based on used. There's another artwork where he has both the Deku and Zora Masks(though this one is specifically from the remake which they may have been trying to avoid), and the rest he has no masks. But this one is the only one where both his feet are planted firmly on the ground, which is likely why they chose it.

It is on Young Link in Hyrule Warriors so there's that.

Honestly if you're bothered by it that much, just get the NFC Action Replay. Saves you money and you won't ever be missing out on any "locked content."

I actually think the Majora's Mask Link amiibo will unlock that costume.
Same with the Skyward Sword Link amiibo, that'll unlock the Skyward Sword costume.
