Since his debut on the original Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987, Link's appearance has changed over and over again, each time adding to the mystique of his incomparable story. This younger incarnation is most often associated with the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time game
This amiibo represents a 3-D imagining of the 8-bit Link from the original Legend of Zelda game on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Armed only with a sword and shield, this hero set out to save the land of Hyrule and its imprisoned princess, Zelda, from the evil Ganon.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time game introduced a time traveling element into the series—this amiibo shows a 17-year old Link playing the ocarina that allowed him to warp back and forth across a seven-year gap to defeat the power-hungry Ganondorf.
