Yeah, Chibi Robo is my only physical 3DS game, due to coming with the Amiibo. I wish I could have just downloaded it with the extra stuff unlocked.
The Twilight Princess stuff is neat for those that want it, but ultimately superfluous. Nothing of value is really lost without scanning an Amiibo, just some neat little bonuses.

The amiibo also does stuff for the new LoZ game correct, and should be patched in to work with Hyrule warriors i assume.

So do we know for sure about Hero Mode being included? Or is Ganondorf amiibo essentially Hero Mode. Maybe the amiibo unlocks it from the start?
Just restart your last save when you hit half health if it means that much to you, same difference
Skyward Sword, Wind Waker HD, Ocarina of Time 3D, Link Between Worlds, and Triforce Heroes all have hard modes.
You can use them for the magic armor.

With how many fucking useless chests in this game there are full of rupees (that you have to put back when youre capped out because Nintendo didn't have the foresight for this), and how your max wallet only goes to 1000, and how there's barely anything to buy in TP anyway, Im actually impressed that they kept a quality of life thing and something entirely useless in its own game behind the paperweight

If there's no hard mode without the usage of Ganondorf then I may not purchase this game

... 15 years ago?
That didn't happen until Ocarina of Time 3D, which was the first game to have a mode with double damage (Master Quest 3D).
People who dislike amiibos because they don't want to have to buy them, I'm with you, I wish that any amiibo DLC could be available digitally. That being said, saying amiibos are dumb and they need to stop doing cool things with them or this or the other. Numbahs don't lie amiibo are here to stay, and we love them.
Well that's basically a bunch of nothing aside from Ganondorf.
They increased the base wallet.

I would suggest reading the thread. Hero mode is in the base game.

To what?
So is paying for xbox live/psn/ so is preorder bonuses. Guess what it's not going anywhere.
2000 was the highest we've seen, but no one knows the actual cap, from Famitsu. Same source as the Hero Mode addition. (As well as nerfs to the collection runs.)
The Wolf Link Amiibo works with Zelda U also which is why it has more, and you dont have to spent 13 bucks on the other Amiibos, if a game has DLC you dont want do you buy it anyways?
The other Amiibos are from the Smash series anyways they are just adding it to this game since its a Zelda game calm down dude

Don't know. At least one screenshot has shown Link with a 2000 rupee wallet though.
Woah someone seriously compared what you get from amiibo to the 6 games a month from PSN. Hot damn.
Amiibos should just be cool little figures. They don't need to do this in game stuff that gives people a product occasionally missing significant bits of content because they didn't buy a figure they don't want.
Master quest was available in 2002 which was 14 years ago.

Yeah, but hearts still appeared in ABLW's hero mode.

Hero Mode was already a regular menu option in WWHD (also in SS) and will be here too.
The Ganondorf amiibo is ADDITIONAL x2 dmg obviously.
Or, you know, they could just make it an option in the game that doesn't require a toy.

Did that do double damage as well?
I think that might be OoT 3D exclusive
Yeah animal crossing happy home designer has amiibo cards, we have yet to see anything else but it hasn't been that long either
I see. It may very well be, but either way this is not them finally adding a hard mode to zelda. Been had happened brehs. Been had.

I'm okay with the use of amiibo in this game.
I feel that if Nintendo went all out and made more substantial uses with amiibo, people would complain that they're locking away content. It's almost as if people forget the reason for the figures.

Master quest didn't do anything other than change the dungeons until OoT 3D. OoT 3d is the first game to have the double damage mode (hero mode), and OoT 3D also introduced the flipped map.

That just makes this thing even more useless for tp, doesn't it? Like the most expensive thing in that game was the magic armour and that was only a 1000. Unless they jacked up the price of that. At least people will be able to open chests and take their contents maybe
Zelda team REALLY wants you to use that armor that makes you unbeatable but take rupees =P

It's the only version announced and is still available http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017W1771Y/?tag=neogaf0e-20. Amiibo haven't been that rare in awhile

yup, they sell them for that animal crossing game thing. Also amiibos are better in stock for the most part now (with the restocked units) (more restocks are coming of other units)
They're bonuses for if you already have them.
I like ganondorf a lot, because it's substantial yet not exclusive content, so nobody is missing out.
People are complaining on this limited stuff too, even while saying its useless stuff lol

Yes, 2x damage is Master Quest 3D exclusive. Original N64 (GCN) Master Quest did not have 2x damage and neither was it mirrored like the 3DS version.
Same ol' shit.
Complaining for its own sake.

Get it at Best Buy with Gamer's Club and it's like buying the game without paying for the amiibo
oops I just did a commercial

Didn't the very first Zelda have a hard mode called second quest?

I mean I imagine people saying they're dumb is BECAUSE the stuff they do with them isn't what they'd consider cool. The amiibo itself is not integral to any of the stuff that is unlocked, it's not like some kind of unique feature that requires the use of a physical figure.
I have a Mega Man amiibo myself, mostly because I'm a huge, huge fan of the franchise, love that he's in SSB (even though I don't use him all that much
), and that up until that point there weren't any physical figures for classic Mega Man that looked good and easily affordable. At just a little over $10 the amiibo was well worth it for me. I don't really care about having a Mega Man amiibo fighter so it remains boxed because I like the packaging and it also keeps it in mint condition (for my own OCD tendencies, it's not like I want to sell it later).On the other hand, I don't really care about Ganondorf nearly enough to own an amiibo of him, but I'm actually interested in the 2x additional damage. But I can't without having to buy a physical figure I don't really want. And the functionality doesn't NEED to be tied to a physical item anyway, so for all intents and purposes I'm spending $10 for a damage multiplier. If I went to any DLC store for any game and saw $10 for a damage multiplier I'd laugh and close the window. The value just isn't there.

Indeed, in a parallel world is a happy forum excited to play the new content.

I wish Gaf was a thing during the Link's awakening DX days when the GBC dungeon was a thing (you could get to it via using a hack device or use a friend's GBC) but that was a problem then, and hell that thing with MM for the n64. this is an optional dungeon that unlocks a stupid not needed thing for the game to get access to have 9999 rubies (which cheats have allowed for the original game if you had an action replay or whatever) At this point its more that we want to know what it'll do for the loz wii-u game.

They should make the extra crap free, just harder to get. Then fewer can bitch and in theory noone is the lesser.
Except the 60 includes the only amiibo with actual content locked behind it.
Well, ya, I think that's kind of the point. I think Amiibo are done best when the stuff they do is completely superflous rather than not.
Ganon is the only amiibo that actually seems to do anything of substance.
Nothing. It's so you can open chests without getting the message that your rupees are full and the chest closes back up
But really, that was annoying in TP.
