Nintendo has revealed the Link amiibo for The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening looks just like Link from the game.

Here is an overview of the game:

Link has washed ashore on a mysterious island with strange and colorful inhabitants. To escape the island, Link must collect magical instruments and awaken the Wind Fish. Players explore a reimagined Koholint Island that’s been faithfully rebuilt in a new art style. Battle enemies, conquer numerous dungeons and uncover the hidden secrets of the island while encountering Super Mario enemies like Goombas, Chain Chomps and Piranha Plants. Players can also earn Chambers (Dungeon Rooms) and arrange them to complete objectives in the new Chamber Dungeon. Launching alongside the game will be a new Link amiibo figure that lets players put this adorable new art style in the palm of their hands. A special Dreamer Edition will come with the game and the Dreamer Art Book, which features concept art from the Nintendo Switch version of the game. The game and amiibo are each scheduled to launch Sept. 20.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening will launch for the Nintendo Switch on September 20.

Why is nowhere mentioned that this Amiibo adds Shadow Link to the game? It was told in Nintendo Treehouse.

My question is, does any of the other like 20 Zelda amiibo's do the same function as this one? I would like to save some money and not have to get another one. Have all the Zelda amiibo's for BotW unlocks. Hoping BotW2 doesn't require this one to get all unlocks.
Ah, who am I kidding. Of course it will. As well as new Amiibo made for BotW2.

At the end of the Treehouse presentation it was only said that every Zelda Amiibo will work with Links Awakening. The new Link's Awakening Amiibo adds Shadow Link for dungeons and "other plus effects". I'm not sure if every Amiibo does the same...
