“Why is this item in preorder status and says it's being released in May when this amiibo has already been released in the past? Is this just new-old stock coming in or is there something different about this amiibo now? confused”

It was a reprint of a figure. Nintendo will often reprint older amiibos for special occasions and new releases of a series with past amiibos.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Nope, Nintendo did a rerelease. Made a whole big deal out of it after being out of stock for years. Only purchase option was eBay at a hefty $160. Take my advice and grab it while you can
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You're right in that they released this in the past. Usually they do waves of rereleases for these, just keep checking back. You might have to wait a while unfortunately.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As far as I'm aware, this is simply a reprint of an already-released Amiibo for those who missed out on the first go. Nothing should be any different about it, but I certainly expect this (and the initial release batch) to be compatible with TOTK and offer some special items by using it in-game, similar to how it was done in BOTW. It's been rumored that Nintendo is bringing back some other ones as well for the upcoming launch, so keep your eyes open if you are interested!
