Overview
- Nintendo showed the two new amiibo during its Direct, presenting Young Link seated with Navi and Young Zelda posed playing an ocarina as official tie-ins for the Ocarina of Time remake.
- Scanning the figures in the remake unlocks polygonal N64-style masks of Link and Zelda that press coverage reports appear to be cosmetic only with no gameplay benefits demonstrated.
- Reviewers praised the sculptural detail and faithful art direction of the figures, saying they stand as high-quality collectibles independent of their in-game function.
- The amiibo reveal was part of a larger merchandising push that also included a LEGO Link & Epona set, an electronic Master Sword and a playable ocarina tied to the Zelda 40th program.
- Nintendo has not confirmed whether other amiibo will unlock additional masks or new mechanics, so questions about broader amiibo interoperability and extra features remain open pending future announcements.
