Zelda BOTW and Amiibo

[KevinRightWing]

I have a Switch now and am getting ready to start playing Breath of the Wild.

i understand there are certain advantages of having an Amiibo but I have never bought one. Which amiibo would I want to buy for a play through of Breath of the Wild, or does it even matter which one you pick?

You don't really need any of them, as they're mostly exclusive gear or ingredients in the case of the BOTW series. None will give you a particular edge.

I find the Smash Bros Zelda-series ones are pretty useful. I use them every day I play it for 'free' food and items. What's especially awesome is the Twilight Bow you can get using a Zelda amiibo (I think any will suffice). Wolf Link isn't useful either because it will attack any nearby animal as well as the enemies. The non-Zelda ones don't do much, you get a random assortment of food items in a chest.

If you can get them for RRP or less, then consider they also work in a few other games and they're pretty neat as far as figures go. I definitely wouldn't spend more than RRP.

I can't wait till I get the Wolf Link amiibo. It seems nice to have a wolf by your side helping against enemies.

Yeah Wolf Link Amiibo which gives you Wolf Link gives you an edge. Guardian Amiibo drops ancient items which are definitely needed later in the game. Ganon Amiibo gives you some nice items and Link Amiibo gives you Epona. All the others just gives you food, arrows and other items.

None of these are needed of course but they do add value.


Edit: Here's what they all do
