This week, Nintendo revealed they'll be launching a new Zelda amiibo alongside The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. The new design inspired by the game will give you a couple of small abilities when you use them on the Switch's right joy-con. Or if you're not into cheats, at least you now have a new Zelda & Loftwing amiibo to snag to make a part of your collection. The amiibo will be released at the same time the game comes out on July 16th, 2021. You can read more about what it does below.

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.

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!
