A retail leak hints that new Zelda-themed Amiibo are on the way.

A new wave of Zelda-themed Amiibo could be right around the corner.
Listings for three new Amiibo briefly appeared on retailer Best Buys site earlier this week, and were spotted by Reddit user Pokemiibomadness. Though the listings didnt name the Amiibo or offer much in the way of details, the site did say that the Amiibo would be compatible with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Although technically all Amiibo can technically drop food and other consumable items into the game, only a few special Zelda-themed Amiibo drop unique itemsLinks trusty steed Epona, a companion version of Wolf Link, and specially-themed gear.
Thanks to some fans willing to toe the legal line and hack their games, we know that there are a few custom pieces of gear already in the game that cant be accessed with any of the current Amiibo. One is the Fierce Deity set, based on the same outfit from Majoras Mask, and another is Links outfit from Skyward Sword. Its very likely, then, that at least two of these unnamed Zelda-related Amiibo will be the Majoras Mask and Skyward Sword figurines needed to unlock these outfits.
These Amiibo currently dont have a release date.

I'm in my first main dungeon and the controller died on the final round of the boss fight...
Also I thought I had almost beaten the dungeon only to be stuck on [blackout]The second water wheel in Vah Ruta. I had thought the maps were optional like previous Zelda games, only to learn that it is necessary to complete the dungeon.[/blackout] 
In the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the game features a very large emphasis on the players ability to climb to reach various areas in the world. By doing this, the stamina gauge is inevitably depleted.
However, in a recent GameSpot interview, it seems that, at some point during the development process, the devs wanted to implement a way to regain stamina by having Link stab the wall he was climbing and be able to hang and rest there for a moment. This idea was ultimately abandoned because of Nintendos Shigeru Miyamoto disagreement with how the idea would work.
Speaking of the cut idea, Breath of the Wilds art director Satoru Takizawa had this to say:
Until about halfway through the development, we had a spec where you could take your weapon and stab it into a wall. When your stamina gauge was dwindling you could stab the weapon and kind of hang out and rest there.
The games director Hidemaro Fujibayashi also spoke on the matter, saying the following:
So the answer is that Mr. Miyamoto heard of the concept he said, You cant stand on the tip of a sword. This is strange. And then we explained, No no no, you stab it in. Then hes like, No, its not going to work. Another idea is that its very hard to actually stab a sword into a big piece of rock. We considered that you can stab them into cracks or crevices in the wall, but then you cant freely use that feature anywhere you want, so I decided not to implement it.
So starting from the early stages of development we had been constantly showing Mr. Miyamoto our progress. At times we would even show him once a week what wed been working on, because if we dont do that, and then go face-to-face and present the idea, tables might be flipped!

Nintendo has finally canonized the Zelda villain's last name.

Its taken over 30 years, but Links archnemesis Ganondorf finally has a full name: Ganondorf Dragmire.
Its a last name that appears in a lot of fanworks, so it may come as more of a surprise to fans that up until now, it hasnt been canon. The Dragmire name, however, appeared only in the 1992 game manual for A Link to the Past. It was never mentioned in any of the actual games, and didnt show up again in 25 years worth of other official sources.
Now, though, its up on Nintendos official Legend of Zelda website (via Eurogamer).
Once known as the King of Thieves, Ganondorf Dragmire used the power of the Triforce to become the beast, Ganon, the websites description of the character reads.
Whether youre a fan of the Dragmire name or not, one things for certain: Given Nintendos record with names, it could have been a lot worse. As hilarious as it would be, its probably for the best that well never see a showdown between Link Link and Ganondorf Ganondorf.

, or if they'll add an entirely new quest. And also what the implication of that quest will be since the game sets you before Ganon if you beat it not after, or if the DLC will change that as Link and Zelda try to re-build Hyrule.
