    I wish the settings app would show a list of amiibos. Would be cool if there was an app on Switch that showed them like an extra collector feel.

      No because you can put them all on a shelf and re-sale them, think about it individual characters as pieces with re-sale value!

    • @josephmclord
      @josephmclord 11 місяців тому +2

      It’s more because of the figures itself and the extra things you get is a merely cherry on top. They could have added no extract gimmicks and would be still fun to buy since they look so good on the shelf

  • @FunnyGA1ex
    @FunnyGA1ex 4 роки тому +11

    I hope you can choose the rid of your least valuable or powerful item for the item you want to pick up. Also set certain items like a leaf or torch to be off the auto drop list. Since those are weak weapons but rather useful tools. I hope that function will be in Botw 2

    This seems interesting! Kind of an unimpressive bonus in Breath of the Wild, but hopefully it has other tie-ins to other games too!

  • @lanzdalisay9933

    To be honest at first i thought Link was Zelda since he was like the main character and the game is called Zelda so it would make sense for him to be Zelda
    - it was also because i didn't know anything about Zelda.

    its not counting hours to decide when tio use it again.
    It uses the date from the system.
    It resets every midnight and can be tricked by changing the date on your switch

    • @ArcticW0lf21
      @ArcticW0lf21 7 років тому +4

      it does count hours. Every 24 hours to be exact. I tested this a few times. But switching the day to the next day, puts it 24 hours ahead and that's why that works. Try switching one hour back and going to the next day, you will see

    Since Amibo's get registered, does that mean if you have 2 switches in the house, you can't share the amibo unless you unregister it from the other switch? or is there a way to kind of in home share without paying out further more fortunes?

    @V1C10US 7 років тому +15

    There's no reason to register amiibo on Switch for Zelda BotW purposes. Some WiiU games require it, but not Zelda. Also, nothing is saved to the amiibo for Zelda.
    Also, you don't need to wait 24 hours. It resets at midnight based on your system's clock.

      Ben Dover wow it worked thanks alot, so every time I'm done playing I should just turn off the switch?
