\"\"<\/a>Hey folks, got another batch of Nintendo amiibo figures I thought I\u2019d show off here.\u00a0 This time it\u2019s three different Links from three different Legend of Zelda series!<\/p>\n

The three Links are from Majora\u2019s Mask, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword.\u00a0 Here they are in the boxes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here they are out of their boxes.\u00a0 They are all of very nice quality as usual, and you can scan them into Breath of the Wild to get some exclusive stuff.\u00a0 But I\u2019m done with that game so I don\u2019t feel like dragging it out again to see what they all do right now.\u00a0 I noticed a bit of blue tinge on the sword of the Skyward Sword Link, though.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if that was on purpose or a painting error.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have two problems with this release.\u00a0 One, I kind of wish they would\u2019ve done another Link besides the one in Twilight Princess.\u00a0 We\u2019ve already gotten a Twilight Princess amiibo, and granted it was Link in wolf form and this is his human iteration, but I still wish they would\u2019ve picked a Link from an older series, like Link to the Past\/Link\u2019s Awakening\/Link Between Worlds or what have you.<\/p>\n

The other problem I had with this set was how they were released.\u00a0 Each one was exclusive to a certain store in the US.\u00a0 Majora Link was at Best Buy, Twilight Link at GameStop, and Skyward Link at Amazon.\u00a0 That just makes it even harder for me to get them!\u00a0 Luckily a dear relative was able to get the Best Buy one for me, but I had to import the others.\u00a0 The lack of information on these figures at first caused me to miss reserving the one at GameStop, and it\u2019s impossible to reserve any of those things at Amazon.\u00a0 Importing them cost a little more, but it\u2019s way cheaper than paying scalper prices!<\/p>\n

The only other recent amiibo they\u2019re doing that with are the Player Two costumes for the final three Smash Bros. amiibo.\u00a0 I have the exclusive GameStop one preordered, but I may have to import the other two if I can\u2019t find them here.\u00a0 Luckily I have all the other amiibo figures being released this year reserved except for the four Zelda Champions amiibo.\u00a0 Those went out the day after they announced them at E3, so I may have to import those as well.\u00a0 But we\u2019ll see when that time comes!\u00a0 That\u2019s all for now.\u00a0 Later!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
