The latest details about amiibo support in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD leaked out of Famitsu yesterday. Now that we have the issue for ourselves, we have even more information about how different figures work in the game.

First, we have additional news about the Ganondorf amiibo in Twilight Princess HD. After scanning it, you’ll receive twice the amount of damage as you normally would. You’ll know the effect has taken place when Link’s hearts bar changes from red to blue. Also, unlike other amiibo which can be only used once per day, it looks like Ganondorf can be scanned as many times as you like. This is partially speculation, but this might be because the effect has a time limit and wears off after awhile.

Two amiibo pre-orders are now up on Best Buy. You can reserve Ryu here and Famicom R.O.B. here. Roy isn’t up, so he might be a GameStop exclusive as rumored a few months ago.

Another set of amiibo are due out towards the end of this week. Nintendo will release Lucas in addition to the latest Animal Crossing figures and cards. In the image above, you can see in-store stock estimates for the different amiibo.

For the most part you shouldn’t have too much trouble locating the different amiibo. Online is also an option, and they’ve been pretty well-stocked at places like Amazon thus far!
