And alternate forms for the Smash ones
Some long-awaited Amiibo will finally release this summer, with some variants as well.
The Smash Bros series Cloud, Corrin and Bayonetta will launch on July 21, and each character will have two forms including a female Corrin. Some of the alternate forms will be retail exclusives.
Three additional 30th anniversary Amiibo for the Legend of Zelda series will also release on June 23.
So... what do these Link Amiibos do in Breath of the Wild?Likely the same thing as the pre-existing Amiibo, AKA Hero of Legend costumes from previous games. There's already data in the game for a Fierce Deity and Skyward Sword costume. I assume the Twilight Princess Amiibo will more reliably drop the Twilight gear, although I'd feel pretty disappointed if the Smash Amiibo did the exact same thing as the new Twilight Princess Amiibo.
If they're not releasing these alongside a Smash 4 port, then I wonder what was the cause of the delay.
The Fierce Deity costume gives attack bonuses similar to another set found in the game, with a set bonus of increased stamina for the spin attack. Upgrades require each piece of every dragon and Hinox and Lynel parts (max defense 20 per piece). There is also the trademark purple sword. As with other Amiibo items, it isn't super powerful and it breaks, but you may get lucky and get it again.
