Official Donkey Kong amiibo Figure - Super Smash Bros Series (Japan Import) - Perfect for Nintendo Switch Game Collection & Display

This Zelda Super Smash Brothers amiibo yields very useful materials for playing Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch. Of primary interest to me is the Twilight Bow, akin to the Bow of Light that Link can only obtain from Zelda for the final battle with Ganon. Attack power 30, durability 100, range 8,000 meters!!! (but the light arrows do not travel at the speed of light - you can miss a moving target even though the arrows do not drop under gravity!). The Twilight Bow is great for sniping bad guys from far away! Also rarely, one can obtain star fragments and diamonds, which are difficult to come by in BOTW itself. More commonly, one can obtain Royal Bows and lesser weapons and as you progress in the game, the weapons dropped will come with perk upgrades like increased attack power or durability, as for finds in the game itself. The Twilight Bow is obtained on roughly 1 in 50 uses of the amiibo (after you have liberated at least one Divine Beast) but if you're persistent with Game Save and Reload, you can try your luck as many times a day as you want as long as you discard all the previous drops you don't want. Since I got a Twilight Bow from Zelda on my fifth try, I'm very happy with my luck and the amiibo! One or two points about the product delivered - although an Amazon label was pasted over the UPC code identifying the product as "Japan import," it was clearly produced for the European market as there seemd to be 7 or 8 European languages on the Nintendo packaging-no Japanese, AFAIK. The coloration of the amiibo is not quite as light and radiant as depicted in the marketing images on the Amazon web page, either, unless you put it under very intense light. But still, it's a beautiful and memorable figurine that drops lots of rare and useful stuff when playing BOTW on the Switch. You can get the same functionality much cheaper with NFC cards or discs, also available on Amazon, but I wanted a beautiful memento, expensive though it may be, for all the fun I'm having with BOTW. It would be nice, too, if the figurine were a bit larger and Zelda's face were a bit fuller to correspond to her BOTW appearance but then for an amiibo from the Super Smash Brothers game, one can't complain too much about resemblance to Zelda in BOTW, who's also a blonde, unlike the brunette SSB figurine.
