Nintendo is reintroducing the Link’s Awakening Link and Wind Waker Zelda Amiibo figures in celebration of the upcoming release of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. These Amiibos are exact replicas of their original versions, with Link showcasing the charming, doll-like art style from the 2019 Link’s Awakening Switch remake, and Zelda depicting her iconic look from Wind Waker.
The figures will be available starting September 26, with preorders priced at $16 each on Best Buy. Given the usual quick sellout of Amiibo figures, fans are encouraged to secure their orders early.
The re-release of these Amiibos coincides with the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, the next installment in the Zelda series, exclusive to the Nintendo Switch. This new game maintains the top-down view and toy-like visual style seen in the Link’s Awakening remake but introduces a significant twist by making Princess Zelda the primary playable character.
Unlike Link, Zelda wields a magical wand that allows her to replicate objects scattered throughout the game world, offering unique mechanics for exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving.
As excitement builds for Echoes of Wisdom, fans can check out the latest game coverage to explore how it reinvents the traditional 2D Zelda experience.
Preorders are already available, and early buyers at Best Buy can receive exclusive bonuses, including an acrylic diorama featuring Zelda and an Octorok, along with a cardboard standee. Additionally, the limited-edition gold Hyrule Edition Switch Lite, which launches alongside the game, is also up for preorder.
Echoes of Wisdom represents a bold new direction for the Zelda franchise, with Zelda herself taking center stage. This shift in focus not only diversifies the gameplay but also offers a fresh narrative experience, allowing players to see the world of Hyrule through Zelda’s eyes. The game is highly anticipated for its innovative approach and the new challenges it promises to deliver.
The return of the Link’s Awakening Link and Wind Waker Zelda Amiibos, paired with the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, provides fans with an exciting blend of nostalgia and novelty. With the game and related merchandise set for release on September 26, those interested should act swiftly to ensure they don’t miss out on these limited items.
