Skyward Sword HD's arrival on Nintendo Switch also marks the launch of a brand-new Legend of Zelda Amiibo. The Zelda & Loftwing Amiibo shows Zelda alongside the majestic bird, and since its announcement, the figure has been sold out at major retailers. While we were hoping for a release day (July 16) restock of the Zelda Amiibo at retailers, as we saw with the Skyward Sword Switch Joy-Cons, the Zelda & Loftwing Amiibo has remained frustratingly absent; we've not seen it pop up at retailers very often. Still, it's worth keeping an eye on retail listings in case of a surprise restock. You can check availability for the Skyward Sword HD Amiibo below--if you spot it in stock, we suggest snagging it immediately before it sells out.

Where to buy the Zelda & Loftwing Skyward Sword Amiibo ($25)

　　The Zelda & Loftwing Skyward Sword Amiibo releases Friday, July 16.Curiously, Nintendo has locked an in-game feature behind the purchase of this Zelda & Loftwing Amiibo. In Skyward Sword HD, you'll be able to use this Amiibo to return to the skies from anywhere on the surface, even inside dungeons. Scanning the Amiibo again while in the sky will allow you to return to the same surface location. Normally, this action can only be performed at designated save points. The Zelda & Loftwing Amiibo is the only figure that will be compatible with Skyward Sword HD; you won't be able to use any previously purchased Zelda Amiibo with the game.

　　For those still needing to pick up the game itself, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is available to buy now at Amazon with free delivery by tomorrow.
