Nintendo - amiibo Figure (Super Smash Bros. Series Young Link)

Nintendo nailed the design of Young Link. They really captured his perfect milky skin and toned thighs that I remember from Ocarina of Time and his Smash debut. Young Link was actually my stage name when I came up in the rap game back in the late 90s. I was still Young at the time, hence the Young part of my name but my shtick was throwing Sausage Links into the crowd, hence the latter half of the name. The fans would lose it whenever I'd lay down some sick freestyle followed by a mic drop plus a fist full of Jimmy Deans. Besides getting your lyrical career ended by someone who throws greasy delicious breakfast treats on stage, the only thing more humiliating is getting these Young virtual boys hands thrown on ya by a Little Fairy Boy who forgot to wear his pants to battle. Come Git U Some!!

Amiibo figures have been improving in quality since their introduction in 2014, and Young Link here is no exception. His little face looks just like the art with well-defined features. In fact, they made him a little less angry-looking which I appreciate. His sword isn't bent at all. They probably should have made his tunic a little longer....This would not have passed the dress code where I went to middle school. Word to the wise: Amiibo are on the way out. Nintendo makes less and less of them every year, so don't expect this to be some kind of investment. It works with Smash Bros. Ultimate and (maybe??) Breath of the Wild. I don't think it gives a unique reward in BOTW either. Buy it for the figure alone, if that's worth it to you. It sure is to me!

Getting this amiibo, I have to say, it's so cute and nicely detailed. The shield looks good, and the face and hair detail is pretty top notch. The amiibo's sword is also very straight, unlike some other ones where they come in slightly bent, fresh out of the box, and where you'd want to use hot water to fix it. I only wish Nintendo would redesign a variation or player 2 version for Link and Zelda to reflect their new looks in Smash Ultimate. According to some sources, it doesn't quite scan uniquely in BOTW like how the older Zelda amiibos would, but regardless, it's a nice addition to your collection, and you probably have a Majora's mask amiibo anyways.

Excellent with the details and the paintjob is very impressive. If you are an amiibo collector, this is a must buy. The quality of amiibos has improved drastically well over the years. Especially if you compare rhos figure to the OG Link Amiibo from the first wave. The amiibo works with Super Smash Bros Ultimate as it is advertised as well as Breath of the Wild and Hyrule Warriors. I'm sure it works with other titles as a support function such as the Bayonetta Switch games and Super Mario Odyssey.

I picked this up, as I'm trying to keep up on the SSBU amiibo collection. I primarily collect and don't use them much, but the use is identical to how Smash amiibo have always worked - a trainable NPC that you can fight against and win prizes. In particular, the level of detail is astounding! Amiibo are very quality figures, especially for the price. The box is really good too, but it's sad they aren't going with a consistent size of the blister on it like they did for SSB 3DS/Wii U. Only complaint is that 15.99 is too high of a price, especially when they all used to be 12.99. Its basically just price gouging.

Already owning every other Zelda brand amiibo I was slightly skeptical of purchasing Young Link in his Smash variety as well. But once you start a collection you have to keep going, right?... But no really, Young Link is a solid amiibo figure with a great amount of detail from his face to his shield to his clothing. His kinetic pose has him looking like he is ready to face any foe or go into a sword spin. He's a great addition to Smash Ultimate and also works generically as Link in virtually any other game that accepts amiibo, so an added bonus.

So Link, and just Link, has 12 amiibo in all his variations, young link, toon link, wolf link, 8-bit link, various links from Breath of the Wild and other previous game styles. This particular amiibo is great and probably my new favorite as his action pose looks more impressive than the Majora's Mask Link and the Ocraina of Time amiibo variants. If you get a chance, buy this one! It'll work in BOTW giving you a chance to get the Fierce Deity clothes, and of course work with SSB and other games but BOTW is the most exciting for me.

Even though there was another Young Link Amiibo released in the Legend of Zelda 30th Anniversary line. This is the newest Link Amiibo out now. And I have to say he’s one of the best looking versions. Sadly you can’t unlock the Fierce Deity clothes in Breath of the Wild. (That seems to be an exclusive feature for the 30th anniversary version) But if you’re a big Zelda fan. Or have been waiting to get a cheaper Young Link Amiibo. This is a great choice!
