Zelda: Breath of the Wild Amiibo Offer Very Strange Rewards


*Shrugs enthusiastically at camera*

Nintendo has shown off how its new line of 30th Anniversary Legend of Zelda amiibo will interact with the upcoming Breath of the Wild. It gets pretty weird.

I'm just going to jump straight into it here - using the Ocarina of Time Link will drop a randomly selected amount of meat from the sky. There's no explanation as to how this decision was made, or if there is a deep-lying thematic connection between the era-defining adventure game and hunks of animal flesh. But there you have it - skymeat for all.

Here's a (sadly low-quality) gif of the results of plonking down your anniversary figurine:

The info comes courtesy of the Nintendo of America Tumblr, which listed the effects of using each of the four new Zelda-themed amiibo. They're all pretty abstract, to be honest:

  • 8-bit Link - Rewards you with a random number of barrels (which may contain rupees)
  • Ocarina of Time Link - Rewards you with a random amount of meat
  • Toon Link - Rewards you with a random amount of fish
  • Wind Waker Zelda - Rewards you with a random selection of plants

Each use of the amiibo also comes with a chance of spawning a treasure chest containing a rare item.

This news only serves to make me more excited about Breath of the Wild, which will be released for Wii U and Nintendo Switch on an undisclosed date next year - there's still some question as to whether that date might coincide with the launch of Switch.
