Link's Awakening Remake: Shadow Link Footage

I hadn't seen this until earlier this week, but apparently Nintendo of Japan showed us the Shadow Link, which can be spawned via the new Link amiibo inside a Chamber Dungeon, in a video. You can find it here.

It reminds me a lot of the Cosmic Mario from the Super Mario Galaxy Prankster Comets. And that's not really a good thing, because both the behavior and the music are annoying. It's still nice to see that Shadow Link made it back, where it's probably the same AI that was used for both A Link Between Worlds and Tri Force Heroes. After all this remake seems to be borrowing quite a lot from the Nintendo 3DS Zelda games, but while they were at it, they also could have borrowed some of the amazing music from the Shadow Link battles.

I'm not entirely sure, how using the amiibo in a Chamber Dungeon works. In the Treehouse Live stream they made it sound like you can add the Shadow Link on a specific chamber, so you could potentially use one of these "plus effects" per chamber in your dungeon.

It will be interesting to see, what different effects all the Zelda amiibo will have. I could imagine that one of the Zeldas or maybe all of them will add flying Hearts or even a Fairy to your chamber. Archer Link and Revali could add flying arrows. And the Guardian could add maybe a Beamos to the chamber. But those are all really cheap ideas, where the final product will hopefully be somewhat more interesting...
