The Link's Awakening Link and Wind Waker Zelda Amiibo figures are coming back to commemorate the upcoming launch of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. The reprints are identical to the original versions--Link's Amiibo features the adorable doll-like art style from the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening remake that launched on Nintendo Switch back in 2019, while the Zelda figure captures her appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. The reprints officially launch on September 26, and you can preorder both for $16 each at Best Buy. We recommend grabbing them quickly if interested, since we don't know how many figures Nintendo made for this reprinting and most Amiibo figures sell out before launch.
This Link's Awakening Link and Wind Waker Zelda Amiibo reprints drop alongside the next game in the series, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. The Switch-exclusive adventure features the same top-down presentation and toy-like art style of the Link's Awakening remake but mixes things up in big ways, most notably making Princess Zelda the main playable character for the first time. Rather than being a simple copy of Link's moveset and abilities, Echoes of Wisdom gives Zelda her own unique powers--specifically a magical wand that copies objects scattered around the world to aid in exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving.
