Nintendo says three figures will launch with the game -- an Amiibo featuring Link using a bow, one with the hero on horseback and a third of a "Guardian," the large spider-like creature we saw in the game's 2014 teaser trailer. That last one is the flexible toy, presumably offering limited movement in the guardian's tendrils. The Wolf Link Amiibo that shipped with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD will be compatible with the new game too, and will summon Wolf Link to help the player in battle. If you played Twilight Princess on the same console, it'll even import your character's health stats. Neat!

Those figures won't be available until the game hits stores early next year -- but collectors can look forward to a new line of Super Mario Amiibo, with figures for Daisy, Boo, Diddy Kong and more.
