So many questions were answered in yesterday's streaming segment for the new Link's Awakening and one of them were about amiibo. First of all, they really will release an amiibo of Link in the new art style:
It will be released on the same date as the game: September 20th. Next to this new amiibo, all amiibo from the Zelda series, as well as all amiibo of Zelda characters from the Super Smash Bros. series will be supported in the new Chamber Dungeons feature.
They will add so called "Plus Effects", which can be compared to the Prankster Comets in Super Mario Galaxy from what it seems. The new Link amiibo for example will add Shadow Link to the dungeon, who is chasing you and can be defeated for additional Rupees. Other Zelda amiibo will have other effects... And who knows, some of them might even be helpful like constantly giving you the Guardian Acorn or Piece of Power effects (which are still in the game by the way).
This is an interesting feature that adds some value to your amiibo collection, without taking away anything of importance from the game. These "Plus Effects" seem more like a mutator for playing a Chamber Dungeon challenger than anything else.
In addition, it seems that other amiibo might be supported as well with the pedestals that you can find in various houses. According to this site, you can put Piranha Plants into them with the corresponding amiibo. Luckily, I got one of those...!
Update: the pedestals really seem to be for a variety of things, including Goombas and "CiaoCiao"... It really might be for a new collectible instead of amiibo or a mix of both.
