Nintendo - amiibo Figure (The Legend of Zelda: Link - Majora's Mask)

First off, I would like to point out that, at the time of writing this, there are 3 reviews for this item, 2 of which praise the quality of the product, BEFORE IT EVEN CAME OUT! I will take some pepper along with that grain of salt. Now, If you are unfamiliar with Amiibo, then I can attest to the build that Nintendo has put into these figures. They feel sturdy and will withstand quite a bit of handling whether you are a collector or a kid wanting to live-reenact super smash bros. What the figure DOES is pretty cool. Used in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, youwill get random food items and treasure chest with a random item. If you are lucky, you'll get a piece of the Fierce Deity costume/weapon, which is the final/best gear in its previous game (Majora's Mask). THAT SOUNDS GREAT! You'd think, However, once you've obtained this armor/weapon, the figure becomes a bit useless. Sure, you can continue to use it in the game, but the rewards have diminishing returns, becoming less effective in the later bits of the game. As for other games, Nintendo's website had a list of games that it is compatible with, however it will not do anything special that any other amiibo couldn't do. This is a moot point however, because the fact of the matter is YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THIS FIGURE! The Pre-orders for this BestBuy exclusive were filled out within a day of the listing going up weeks ago. While you MAY get lucky with finding a missed one in store, chances are you'll have to deal with the resellers on ebay, amazon, and other scalping sites, paying x3 ~ x4 times the original price. As Nintendo hasn't announced any other use for this figure, quantities will most likely be limited to make way for future amiibos. This has been the case since the original launch of Amiibos 2 years ago. Bottom line, the figure is nice. If you have Breath of the wild, it'll give you a bit more fun in the game. If not, it's just going to look nice on your self. Assuming you can find one. Happy Hunting... Good luck.

Disclaimer: store pickup places an order information sticker directly on the box, so NIB collectors should be wary of this, as it leaves noticeable residue. I am not a collector, so my review and score excludes this point. The figure at a glance is up to par with the early releases of Nintendo. Without speaking for anyone else, my early amiibos were of a surprisingly high quality, especially given the price. Despite their main purpose of bestowing in-game bonus content, the quality of the figure portions were display-worthy. That still remains true--however, the newer figures seem less likely to stand closer scrutiny than the older ones have for me. It still looks great on display, but errant paint marks seem to be more common with the newer figures, even on less-detailed areas. Luckily, my amiibo only had it in one spot that you'd only find when inspecting it up close, but the fact that this seems to be a trend with the newer amiibos seems worth noting. Regardless, I'm very happy with my purchase, as it compliments my other amiibos nicely, and it unlocked some fun content in BoTW to boot.

Out of all the newly released Legend of Zelda amiibo from June 23rd, 2017, this one is by far the most useful. The items received exclusively from this amiibo in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the "Fierce Deity armor." On top of this armor looking really cool, it gives you attack up which is way more useful than it sounds in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The Fierce Deity armor was also featured in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, so it's a great callback for fans. Probably the best throwback armor from any of the other Legend of Zelda amiibo. Since this item is a Best Buy exclusive, and stock seems to be super limited, it's not crucial to add this to your collection as the "Barbarian Armor" set in the game also gives you attack up...but if you can snag this amiibo, it's definitely worth adding to your in game armor.

It's great that this item is back in stock now. It allowed me, an actual fan of this game, to get one of these, which is all I wanted. Just one for myself. I was wondering how all of the Nintendo stuff turned into Beanie Babies this past year. It is insane that you have to preorder everything now. It's good for the economy I guess. When I was a kid, I preordered only one game. It was the collector's edition of Majora's Mask on N64. It was expensive back then, being a kid and all, and barely anyone else in Los Angeles had any interest in Nintendo games, especially anything that involved swords. None of my friends, nobody at the mall, etc. Where is this insanity coming from? Do people like swords now?

I did not care much for amiibo until I started playing Breath of the Wild. This particular amiibo has a great design and is a little smaller than the other Legend of Zelda line of amiibo, except for the toon variety. The Fierce Deity armor and sword that you can get with this amiibo look great in the game. There are better armor and swords in the game, but they don't all look as cool. To upgrade the armor, however, you'll need to find some rare items like star fragments and dragon parts, so be aware that it may take considerable time and effort. Additionally, this amiibo will also serve as a Link amiibo for unlocking Link-exclusive items in games such as a Mii costume in Mario Kart 8.

This was a difficult amiibo to obtain. It was an exclusive to Best Buy and I missed out on the 2 preorder chances, so I had to rely on picking one up in store. I went in on release day and luckily they had a handful of extras. Much much much better process than the exclusive for GameStop (Nintendo should be boycotted if they ever give anything to them ever again) and the Amazon exclusive was just as bad too (no preorder and only available to prime members). This one was by far the best experience and allowed the most opportunities for everyone to get one at release. Good thing the best exclusive of the 3 was handled by the only organization that had somewhat of a clue on how to do it.

While I wasn't originally a fan of the whole toys come to life fad started by Skylanders I decided to give Amiibo a go when I got The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on Wii U a year and a hald ago. So far I've managed to collect a good chunk of the Zelda themed ones and was really looking forward to this and for the longest time it was "sold out" during my last visit to my local store to pick up Super Mario Odyssey I noticed they had quite a few in stock so I instantly grabbed one up for purchase. Now I can finally get the Majora's Mask themed items in Breath of the Wild.

Once again, Nintendo has released more Link Amiibos, and this one is from Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It's also the only Kid Link amiibo that they've released. It is a little annoying that there are so many Link Amiibos (over ten, i think). People have talked here about not being able to get the Amiibo because it sold out so quickly. I walked into my local store, and while they sold out immediately in the morning, the Service Desk was able to order me this figure, even though it was Sold Out online. So don't think that just because you can't order it online doesn't mean you can't order it in-store.
