Nintendo has announced a brand new, highly-detailed amiibo in honor of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD on Switch. In the announcement, they also debuted an amiibo trailer that shows off everything the new amiibo can do.
Since announcing The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD for Switch, Nintendo has continued to fully embrace the game’s 10 year anniversary. In addition to re-releasing the 2011 game on Switch and having Skyward Sword HD-themed joycons, Nintendo revealed a new amiibo, featuring Zelda & Loftwing.
Meet the new Zelda & Loftwing amiibo, launching on July 16! This amiibo features two characters on a single base and can be used to travel between the surface and the sky in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD.
As the trailer shows, players of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD can use the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo to fast travel between the land and sky. Furthermore, use of the amiibo from the sky drops you back on the surface from the same place where you used the amiibo from the surface. Previously, in the 2011 version of the game, it was only possible to fast travel from save point statues.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, themed-joycons, and Zelda & Loftwing amiibo will release on July 16, 2021.
