Is the BOTW companion exclusive to this thing?
Yep and you'll need Twilight Princess HD
>tfw no amiibo of just midna

this isn't true
there's always Ebay

You'll need Twilight Princess HD because the Wolf Link amiibo's hearts are determined by the remaining number of hearts the player has left after the Cave of Shadows
>>343560840
if theres no data its automatically 3

I heard you can tame horse in BotW and ride them so I wouldn't be surpired if you could also tame wolves that would follow you like Wolf Link does, but they won't be as strong. It seems like a lot of efort to program the wolf's AI just for the amiibo.
>>343560969
good luck using it later in the game then
>>343560969
If there's no data you can't use the companion. You have to complete the Cave of Shadows at least once.
>>343562316
es not true
>>343562316
the date can be there for the quick launch amiibo option
>>343559587
You'll probably get other companions during the game, but Wolf Link himself is exclusive.
>locking crucial gameplay elements behind $60+ of dlc
Have they said if you can use the pro controller with this game?
Seems like a way to make sure players are familiar with the TP lore before starting BotW.
>>343563418
Yeah you can
>people defend this
>>343563779
excellent

It's not locked behind DLC so much as it's locked for people too casual to have beaten Twilight Princess and its bonus dungeon.
Which makes sense. If the wolf link carries your stats from Twilight Princess over into Breath of the Wild, then it opens up a whole new dynamic to the game that casuals wouldn't be interested in anyways.
That is... in order to have a three-heart wolf Link in BotW, you need to have completed Twilight Princess HD and the Cave of Shadows on a three-heart run.
>>343564337
If you scan the amiibo without any data it has 3 hearts by default.
>>343564578
I doubt it. The video doesn't say that. It says you have to beat the game and Cave first.

We will see anon.
We will see. This is the kinda thing Nintendo changes at the last minute or that journalists are misinformed about.
Like how they told us that in Spirit Tracks you would be able to set the tracks as you rode along in real-time.
It's totally unanimously okay when Nintendo does it.
>>343559587
Not going to lie, that is actually really cool.
>>343563178
You said you wanted Nintendo to be like the other companies, enjoy what you literally asked for
