Talking Point: New Ocarina = New amiibo? Nintendo Needs To Make These Zelda Figurines

With a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time due later in the year, coinciding with the series' 40th anniversary, this Nintendo Life opinion piece speculates that Nintendo will release new Zelda amiibo to accompany it. The author draws a parallel with the recent Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which saw fresh Mario and Rosalina figures hit shelves, arguing that a similar tie-in with the remake — and the upcoming Zelda film — seems highly likely.

The article notes that one Zelda amiibo is already confirmed for September (Mineru's Construct from Tears of the Kingdom, delayed from last year), and that three Ocarina-specific figures already exist: Adult Link, Young Link and Sheik. The bulk of the piece is a light-hearted wishlist of potential Ocarina of Time amiibo, each paired with a joking suggestion for what it might unlock in-game, while also musing on likely retail extras such as a Limited Edition steelbook, artbook and Triforce paperweight.

The author's suggested figurines include: – King Zora — an oversized seated figure, unlocking a shower of fish appreciated by NPCs. – Princess Ruto — with an optional "Inside Jabu Jabu" diorama base, unlocking a single rupee. – Great Fairy — chiefly to see how Nintendo would render the character, unlocking a fairy. – Zora/Gerudo/Goron/Castle Guard — sold separately to recreate Castle Town scenes, unlocking sound effects. – Koume and Kotake — a broom-mounted witch dual-pack, unlocking a temporary fire/ice sword spell. – Mido — a shelf companion for King Zora, unlocking useless Deku nuts. – The Sages — possibly a six-pack (around $100), unlocking instant warps to their temples.
