Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom amiibo Goes Live On Amazon UK, Pre-Order Now

Hmm. I pre ordered knowing that with Amazon’s “Pre-order price guarantee” I’ll get it for the lowest price listed between now and release. If it doesn’t fall below £20… I’ll cancel on May 11th.

Thats a stupidly high price. Almost certainly going to be less when it goes up on the official store, though I would not be surprised if its charged at a slight premium just because its a zelda product.

Hopefully this one offers something special in comparison to the 500 other Link amiibo and Breath of the Wild versions.

Outrageous pricing!!! Pure greed

Converting to U.S. dollars, that's half the price of the game! Maybe if it came with the DLC.

Wow, Amazon saw people inflating the Collector's Edition and thought it could work for the Amiibo too. Doesn't help that they're the first UK retailers to sell it, apparently.
Even if the price does go down, I'm not certain I even want it if it just makes my paraglider a bit prettier. Surely it can do more than that? I hope the other amiibo keep their old rewards as well.

come on nintendo give us more info on pyra and mythra amiibos i want them so badly.

A bigger rupee bag lol. Crazy price indeed.

"Gonna need a bigger rupee bag"... more like a remortgage!

Is it bigger than the normal amiibo, like Detective Pikachu, or is this just pure greed?

This is where the real Tears of the Kingdom lie

Wait for official Nintendo site listing... only place to get them for fair price imo

I wasted money on a few amiibo for BotW, bought the season pass too.
...did I wear the costumes either of those entitled me to? Hardly.

Maybe if it's on sale, but that'll be years from now

Hm, I pre-ordered from Best Buy for $15.99 a week or so ago.

Surely this is just amazon guessing what someone might pay early. I still see the Skyward Sword Zelda amiibo which had the absurd 25$ price ( I know it was a little bigger, but not much) in bulk all over my town. Gamestop couldn't even unload them at 12.99 clearance.

@BeefSanta "I pre-ordered from Best Buy for $15.99"

Me too. 😁 (I had $15 credit from buying an iPad expiring next week so I figured why not.🤷‍♂️)

#THIRTYPOUNDSISABIGNO 🤑

So, is this like a "Brexit strikes again" thing or have amiibo always been that ridiculously high in the UK? We did pay $20 for the Guardian but those poseable Doc Ock legs are kinda cool. I actually repose them every once in a while.

We had the first Link, making this our last. We have Wolf but that's my Midna amiibo b/c Midna is cool. 👍

I called it in the what do you think of the $69 price tag on Tears of the Kingdom tp[oc
.
One word.

GREED!!!!

@Liam_Doolan something weird is going on with your affiliate link btw, I'm getting an error message when I click it

Is that Amazon’s price or did they officially raise the price in the UK?

"Sorry, Link! I can't give credit. Come back when you're a little mmmmm richer!"

-Amazon UK

$35!? That's a goddamn rip off!

All the stores in Australia have this at $21 (about £12), including amazon au. Why they do this?

@Smug43 lol that’s Amazon’s price, way to jump the gun

I love how people complain about the price of a optional amibo, but will also be okay with a $400 Pokémon plush.

This Amiibo is detailed. Awesome!!!

The Legend of Zelda I knew and grew up with died with Skyward Sword. I don't know what the hell this abomination that now shambles before me is, but I'm not buying it at all.

Regardless of whether this price is Amazon gauging, it really doesn't matter. We've had one """Zelda""" game since 2011 (using the name very loosely), and it really wasn't a very good Zelda game. Looking at series like GTA as well, I feel practically spoiled for great videogames compared to this generation of kids.

28 quid?! I pre ordered it for $15 in best buy. What nonsense is this?

That’s how much Amazon have been charging for amiibos lately 🤷‍♀️ it’s already gone up to £29.54, too. Other amiibos that I’ve found that are actually sold by Amazon (rather than a 3rd party) have been around £30 too. I’ll wait for a retailer that’s not making billions out of fleecing both customers and staff now that it’s put most of its competitors out of business, and if I miss out I miss out

What is it Detective Pikachu sized or something?

I want this so bad it looks incredible. No Oled Zelda but I am very happy with this.

Will probably be 12.99 on the Nintendo store, what are Amazon playing at?

@ChromeSQD How is it an abomination because of an optional amiibo? Also, this game like Breath of the Wild was a Zelda game whether you like that or not.

It's funny you invoke the GTA series as an example of "great videogames" when that hasn't changed since GTA 3 and Rockstar has spent the last 10 years monetising the hell out of its failing GTA Online instead of developing a new game.

Zelda has had many top down games and the most recent was the remake of Link's Awakening on Switch. All of these played the same. Apparently Nintendo is bad because they changed the formula for once in what became the most successful iteration of Zelda ever?

Well I'll be happy to be playing Tears of the Kingdom rather than a 5th iteration of A Link to the Past.

Open those eyes lol it’s not U.K. stock. It’s being imported from France hence the “Amazon EU Sarl” and the fact the description is all in French lol

Wait for U.K. stock in all good retailers. It’ll be cheaper but I doubt it’ll be by much

Will wait for the my Nintendo store, just to cancel the Amazon order. If they get sufficient orders cancelled maybe they’ll figure out something 😅

@Phornix I was more so comparing it to GTA in the sense that it's only had one game in ten years, and that game (in Zelda's case), isn't very good or challenging. Whether a game is popular or not has no bearing at all on its actual quality. Millions of people force their way through COD games that release either banal, broken, or monetized to hell. I wouldn't call them a great measure of value or quality, and yet there they are, selling tens of millions. Like FIFA, too.

Whether you and others like you want to hear it or not, Zelda had a formula for 25 years, then it smashed that formula up to make a game that was more a physics engine than an actual, challenging experience. It had no worthwhile content inside, it had a stupid durability system, and there was no reason to actually go out and explore because, save for the few challenges it had (mostly one repeat), the world was barren and devoid of real substance. It's 4 'dungeons' were a joke, and it's shrines reminded me of Portal puzzles more than Zelda side-dungeons.

You can't not expect those who'd spent a ton of time and money on the series up to the point of its release to be angry at how shallow the whole thing was, with regards to the established formula.

I'm just not a fan when they have to use the transparent bits of plastic to hold the characters on the stand.

I don't like the design of this one at all. And the price really doesn't help change my mind! I like the BotW Amiibo I already have though.

I think I'm done with Amiibo to be honest. I'm going to start picking up the odd larger statue at a lower frequency instead (so ultimately not spending more).

EDIT: just spotted that the price is irrelevant as it's an imported stock. We all need to learn to read... but particularly the NL author of the article. Update please.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo will be selling this much cheaper on their own website at launch.

idk but this is all what we get just a parachute with different colours? i was expectation something more exciting. wolf link was a big thing

For this price would I expect him to cook, clean and pay taxes

Wow that's a high price. I pre ordered for € 19,95. Is this around the UK or only Amazon?

We can all hope Nintendo will remake all the Zelda Amiibos again thus reducing the Scalpers reselling Zelda Amiibos again.

Here's hoping that there are some amiibo exclusive goodies like there were with Breath of the Wild. If I'm going to scan 20+ of the damn things every day that I play (and for what they cost) there'd better be something worthwhile.

This website is starting to fall behind on some TotK news. Alleged leaks of the pre-order art books are flying around.

Ok, that price is crazy, but I can guarantee that I WILL get this Amiibo from Amazon, compared to buying it from UK Nintendo Store, where it will just go missing/be sent back for no reason/just cant be bothered to send it

@BeefSanta same for one of my local electronic market (saturn) eventually higher import costs and try to make more money?

I've put a safety order in just in case I miss out elsewhere. Plus it is covered by the pre-order guarantee so as long as this is just a placeholder price it will hopefully drop to RRP before they take payment.

Shame NL never reported availability from Nintendo Store UK at just £12.99 with free delivery ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

I ordered on the 13th which was when it became available for anyone to order, after initially only being available for people who had previously "registered their interest" when that was a option.

I don't know whether it is still available now as it has a lifetime limit of 1 per customer so appears unavailable to anyone who has already ordered.
