Overview
- Nintendo announced two new amiibo for the Ocarina of Time remake depicting Young Link with Navi and Young Zelda with an ocarina during its recent Nintendo Direct.
- Using those amiibo in the game unlocks wearable masks that reproduce the original Nintendo 64 polygonal faces of Link and Zelda and change only the characters’ appearance.
- Reporters praised the physical amiibo for fine sculpting and faithful tribute to original artwork but described the in-game polygonal masks as uncanny or unsettling.
- The Direct also unveiled other Legend of Zelda merchandise including a Lego Link & Epona kit, an electronic Master Sword, and a playable ocarina.
- The reveal follows a pattern of nostalgia-focused remake extras and should please collectors who value modern amiibo detail while prompting discussion over retro-style cosmetic choices.
