Nintendo has announced the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo. The figure will launch alongside The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD on July 16.
View a video of the amiibo below:
Here is an overview of the amiibo:
The Zelda & Loftwing amiibo features two characters on a single base: Zelda as she appears in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, and her trusty Loftwing.
In The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, Zelda is the hero Link’s childhood friend, and is always looking out for him. Loftwings are large birds living on the floating islands of Skyloft and are ridden by the people there to travel across the skies.
Introducing the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo!
In The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, the adventure takes place between the skies where Link and his friends reside, and the vast world of the surface that lies beneath the clouds.
Normally, you can only return from the surface to the sky by way of designated save points, but using the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo while on the surface in the game will allow you to return to the skies from anywhere on the surface, even inside dungeons.
If you then use the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo again while in the sky, you can return to the spot on the surface where you used it before.
If you run out of items while exploring the surface, for example, you can quickly return to the Bazaar in Skyloft to replenish your supplies. Once you’re done shopping, the amiibo allows you to quickly zip back to the surface and pick up where you left off!

Amiibo collector i'm still getting it
Has Nintendo said anything lately about sales numbers of amiibo? They do still release them, but they have definitively been sidelined quite a lot...
I guess making € 200 million profit on this € 60 port wasn't enough for Nintendo. Because I seriously doubt it will sell less than 6 million units and the budget for this title is bigger than 25 million including advertisement (which is almost solely advertisement, since Nintendo isn't really putting in effort compared to other remasters/remakes).
