Twinblade★ 3,912 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 https://www.gamespot.com/articles/locking-zelda-skyward-swords-fast-travel-behind-an-amiibo-is-a-bummer/1100-6491800/ Quote As Nintendo explained, the Zelda & Loftwing Amiibo effectively allows you to quick travel between the surface world and the sky. Scan the figure while you're on the surface, and you can return to the sky from anywhere, even while exploring a dungeon. Scan the figure again while in the sky, and you'll return to the same point on the surface. As far as Amiibo functionality goes, this is an incredibly handy feature. Typically, the only way to return to the sky from the surface in the game is to interact with Loftwing statues, which are found in specific locations around the world. This means that if you need to head back to Skyloft--the floating island that Link and Zelda call home--to restock on supplies, for instance, you first need to hoof it to one of these statues to launch yourself into the air. Those who have played the original Wii version of Skyward Sword will remember how frequently Link needs to travel between the surface world and the sky, so the functionality that the Zelda & Loftwing Amiibo offers is a genuine quality-of-life improvement. That's why it's so perplexing that Nintendo is locking such a useful feature behind an additional purchase--one that costs $25 no less. And that's to say nothing of scalpers. Collector items like Amiibo are often snapped up quickly, so if the Zelda & Loftwing Amiibo sells out, it seems you'll just have no way of using this functionality.

Remij 4,676 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 It's some of the outright scummiest shit. Sheep will eat it up too, and they'll defend Nintendo. It's smart though. This version of the game will have cost them practically nothing to create, and they'll be selling it for what amounts to ~$100... and it will sell millions. Another record breaking quarter for Nintendo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

54212 432 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 It's a win button. I'm all for Nintendo trolling people who want one. The Amiibo's $25 too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. House 3,371 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) I should just start collecting Amiibos and keet them in their boxes. Can easily sell them over double their value once they are discontinued. Easy money. Edited May 23, 2021 by Ramza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
