So I said it earlier so I'll say it again. I checked the direct again and the official amiibo webpage. The following Zelda figures work:
Wolf Link, Sheik, Toon Link, Zelda, Link, 8-bit Link, Wind Waker Link, Wind Waker Zelda, OOT Link.
Is it me or is there a Zelda character missing? I guess I'll have to wait for the F-Zero content for Ganondorf to be compatible. The fact you can meet a Ganon character makes it all the more absurd he is incompatible but speaking of absurd...
Villager is also incompatible. I suppose he's not an animal crossing character; a but a super smash bros one so it's okay.
It reminds of how the first Western release of Puyo Puyo in a decade* was a mini-game within a Hatsume Miku game. Feels like this is the future of puzzle games once big enough to stand alone.
*-Yeah I know that is slightly twisting facts as it ignores Virtual Console releases.
