Nintendo just announced 4 cool new 'Zelda' amiibo figures
Nintendo's amiibo figurines drive collectors wild, despite the fact that they don't do much in Nintendo's games themselves. This is because people love Nintendo, and some folks love having "Fire Emblem" characters sitting on their shelves.
If you already count yourself among the ranks of hardcore amiibo collectors, or if you can even see the appeal, there's good news: one of Nintendo's most beloved series is getting the treatment yet again. Here are the four new "The Legend of Zelda" series amiibo figurines:

8-Bit Link from the original "The Legend of Zelda" joins his counterparts from "Ocarina of Time" and "Wind Waker." Princess Zelda's "Wind Waker" incarnation is also here, as part of a two-pack with Toon Link.
These amiibo will offer the same functionality as standard Link and Zelda amiibo figures in existing "The Legend of Zelda" games with amiibo support. Here are the games in the franchise that support amiibo already:
- "Hyrule Warriors" for Wii U
- "Hyrule Warriors Legends" for 3DS
- "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD" for Wii U
Additionally, these amiibo figures will have exclusive, currently-unknown functionality in the upcoming "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" for Wii U and NX, Nintendo's mysterious next console. That game will launch in March 2017.
You can get these amiibo figures when they launch on December 2.
