The most interesting features that were leaked through the listing were: a Hero Mode akin to those found in all modern Legend of Zelda releases and re-releases, gamepad functionality that will allow players to swap around their items in real time (similar to Wind Waker HD and other remasters), as well as a completely new dungeon that will use the read/write functionality of the Wolf Link amiibo.
If this information is to be taken seriously, then players who pre-ordered the Wolf Link amiibo bundle will be much happier than those who will have to wait for the individually printed Wolf Links coming later this year.
The Legend of Zelda amiibos from the Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS line have also been rumoured to function in a similar way to non-Legend of Zelda amiibos in Hyrule Warriors. For those who haven’t played Hyrule Warriors, this means granting Link various item drops such as arrows, hearts, and rupees.
The gamepad functions, as well as the hero mode inclusion, aren’t exactly big surprises. However, an additional dungeon that is unlocked by the Wolf Link amiibo is a welcome surprise.
What do you guys think about this potential leak? Would you be upset about the Wolf Link amiibo having an extra dungeon? Did you pre-order the bundle just in case such a feature was in the game? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below!
