    Decent quality figure sword seems like it gets a bit easily bent though. Otherwise, pretty nice.

    I'm a huge fan of the amiibo's; this is my 7th so far. These are extremely fun to play with in Super Smash Brothers for the Wii U/3DS. If you are looking for an easy, fairly cheap gift for someone with the above game and system, the amiibo's are a great option.

    I put Link on my entertainment stand for looks but he gives a special item in Hyrule Warriors (only way to get the Spinner to date) and a special item boost each day you swipe him. I don't yet own Super Smash for the Wii U so I can't speak for its use there.

    Probably the most practical amiibo

    The detail on Link is pretty good but the yellow support stand is ugly. This is probably the most practical amiibo purchase because it gets you something worthwhile in Smash Bros. (fighting partner), Mario Kart 8 (costume), and Hyrule Warriors (weapon).

    I am very satisfied with my amiibo, this was my first one and I have since gone and bought many more at local stores. I only have one problem with this statue; the sword is somewhat bent (tiny) and is very bendable, This isn't a serious problem though.

    Cool Novelty Item

    I got this without doing full research on the capabilities of the Amiibos. I was thinking they were personalized figurines where you could store stats on (and play with those stats with that character) for certain games and what not. They're cool looking and do provide some cool features for games, but for the most part just collectibles. Will be a great device for some people.

    Let Me Define Amiibo For You

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Amiibo do very little except sit on a shelf and look cool. Basically they unlock stuff in various Nintendo Wii U video games. In Smash Bros they basically make a computer player that you can fight. Don't think they're like a memory card or anything important. They're totally optional. So they're cool if you're okay with what they do. Now personally I like them, they're cool. And Best Buy had an awesome Two Day Shipping for free when I bought it, so that was great. And Over all i'm pretty happy. Thanks BB.

    For the price and size, this figure is pretty nice! The pose is pretty unique. Took off a star as I wish the support was clear instead of yellow, and Link was tilted up/back more so that it's easier to see his face.

    Amiibos are a great add on to the Wii U. They are cute to collect and fun to experiment with. Link is compatible with Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and Zelda which made for a nice first purchase in our Amiibo collection.

    Well Made Figure with Smarts!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Link amiibo is a well-made figure with built-in capabilities that interact with the Wii U gamepad. So far, we've been able to use it for Mariocart 8 (to unlock racing outfits) and in Super Smash Bros (to store amiibo data and unlock special capabilities). Still learning what these can do, but have been impressed so far!

    These figures are really detailed and the paint job is great on all the ones I have. I like displaying them on my desk instead of using them for games, but I think the idea of leveling them up is pretty cool.

    Better Than Expected

    This amiibo is everything you'd expect from the Nintendo toys-to-life series. It's well detailed for the price, and it works with several Nintendo games. But it's more sturdy than you'd expect. The image of the toy shows a thin, clear plastic stand. The actual stand (at least the actual stand I received) was much thicker and was a yellow color. It's not quite as pleasing to look at as the picture, but I think it'll stand up to my young boys' play.

    Any Nintendo fan remembers Link and here he is helping to fight your way through those baddies again. By adding the amiibos to your gameplay, you are able to change up how the game is being played.

    Considering other games that have figurines like Skylander and Disney's Infinity, this figurine does more and actually saves data. It also works with other games which makes it great to collect.

    In my personal opinion, I find the in-game features of amiibo to be kind of lame for the most part, but these are great, highly detailed figurines, and will make a great collector item!

    The Link Amiibo is a great design. Nintendo has caputured his likeness extremely well. I can't wait to add him to Mario Maker to see what i get. For any Zelda fan, i highly recommend this.

    Only thing you can do is fight it or have it fight with you. I was under the impression it would be saving a custom character that YOU play as and could take to friends houses. Only other uses is it gives you a Link outfit for your Mii in Mario Kart 8 and some weapons in Hyrule Warriors.
