It&rsquo;s due out in July, and in the run-up to the release a new fan collectible has been revealed: a special amiibo figure themed after the game.<\/p>\n<p>The amiibo features the Skyward Sword design of Zelda &ndash; undoubtedly one of the most beloved iterations of the character in the series &ndash; alongside a blue Loftwing that she&rsquo;s shown flying on a few occasions throughout the game. It&rsquo;s a lovely looking figure, and is a welcome addition to the wide range of Zelda figurines already on offer in the amiibo range.<\/p>\n<p>The figure also has some people furious, however &ndash; and with good reason. Any amiibo needs to have a function when you tap it to the Nintendo Switch &ndash; and this one is a particularly useful, powerful one.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ll level with you here: I think the original Skyward Sword is a deeply flawed game and because of that one of the weaker Zelda titles. I&rsquo;ve said in the past that the original version&rsquo;s average review metascore of 92 makes me feel like I&rsquo;ve warped to an alternate bizarro universe. Somehow, it sits with a higher score than the excellent A Link Between Worlds or the flawed-but-brilliant 2019 Link&rsquo;s Awakening remake. It remains bizarre to me.<\/p>\n<p>Part of what&rsquo;s exciting about this remaster is that it&rsquo;s an opportunity for Nintendo to address some of the game&rsquo;s problems. One of the issues is with the pacing, and adjacent to that a significant issue with backtracking. So when I heard about a feature to let players teleport from Skyward Sword&rsquo;s floating hub world from anywhere down in Hyrule, my interest was piqued. Then I learned that it was something you&rsquo;d have to tap this amiibo to do.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-791746\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/make-no-mistake-nintendos-zelda-skyward-sword-amiibo-unlock-is-a-dirty-play-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\"><\/p>\n<p>People are going to come out in defense of this with ice-cold takes like &lsquo;this is a cheat, it&rsquo;s no big deal&rsquo;, but make no mistake: attaching this feature to a $25 action figure is dirty. It feels cynical in a way Nintendo rarely is. That price tag puts this figure, which admittedly seems to be on the larger side, at $10 more expensive than other amiibo generally are, by the way.<\/p>\n<p>Amiibo have of course unlocked things in the past. But in my opinion, tapping to unlock a costume, get yourself some extra weapons, or a top-stats horse without having to catch one is minor. When you do that in Breath of the Wild, you understand that you&rsquo;re cheating. It&rsquo;s a little bonus, but it also isn&rsquo;t significantly changing the gameplay experience.<\/p>\n<p>What baffles me is that this is offering a partial solution to some of Skyward Sword&rsquo;s worst proclivities that were most criticised at launch&hellip; but it is essentially DLC of a sort, except it requires you to buy a physical figure that will undoubtedly be in short supply.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-791750\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/make-no-mistake-nintendos-zelda-skyward-sword-amiibo-unlock-is-a-dirty-play-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\"><\/p>\n<p>When Nintendo released the Twilight Princess and Wind Waker HD remasters for WiiU, the games were both tweaked in various ways. For example, Twilight Princess had a new Ghost Lantern item added which made locating items for a specific side quest easier. In Wind Waker, an optional extra sail upgrade was added for Link&rsquo;s boat which made the process of sailing across the great sea faster. Both items were obtainable in-game with no extra trouble, and both directly addressed complaints about the original game. Would these now be amiibo unlocks?<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully this feature will be available as an unlock in Skyward Sword HD, and the amiibo will simply serve as a shortcut to unlock it early. That seems doubtful, though. When Waypoint reporter Patrick Klepek <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/patrickklepek\/status\/1395149577746059270\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asked Nintendo if the feature is accessible without an amiibo<\/a>, Nintendo PR simply pointed him back to the amiibo&rsquo;s official website &ndash; which sure sounds like a no.<\/p>\n<p>The most bizarre thing about all of this, honestly, is that amiibo sell. Collectors love them &ndash; and I include myself in that. I don&rsquo;t necessarily expect game-changing unlocks from them; some cool, smaller bonuses are good enough. This amiibo will definitely sell out &ndash; the pre-orders that have gone live so far have sold through already. So as well as being gross, this whole thing feels completely unnecessary. Nintendo should know better.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2021\/05\/20\/zelda-skyward-sword-hd-amiibo-fast-travel-unlock\/\">Make no mistake, Nintendo\u2019s Zelda: Skyward Sword amiibo unlock is a dirty play<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\">VG247<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2021\/05\/20\/zelda-skyward-sword-hd-amiibo-fast-travel-unlock\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo&rsquo;s new amiibo unlock is a no-go.
