I have no Nintendo authentication guide for spotting a fake figma or a reshelled Joy-Con. Buy from a shop you already trust, and treat auction photos as unverified. That is the whole of the advice I will give.

FAQ

What does the Zelda and Loftwing amiibo do?

In Skyward Sword HD it sends Link back to the sky, and it can return him to the place where you scanned it.

Are you selling these?

No. This page only records dates and the in-game amiibo effect.
