Amazon Exclusive Skyward Sword Link and Ocarina of Time Link next to restock?

With the restock of Corrin Player 2 on August 9th many speculate a restock of Skyward Sword. While this this may seem like a logical guess due to the previous restock there is some supporting information that supports this theory. An official amiibo subeditor has pointed out that Amazon did in fact hold its stock on Corrin Player 2. Meaning that Nintendo didn't reprint all of these and reship them out, they held them in a warehouse and waited a month. This means that Amazon held them to build up hype, driving traffic to there website in the process. In the meanwhile die hard amiibo fans went to eBay and paid inflated prices for the amiibo they desired. Amazon gave no heads up to this which made many users unhappy.

When will the Ocarina of Time Link restock? While Best Buy did restock their inventory for a brief moment on August 3rd, we have yet to see an official restock of the highly sought after amiibo. It is believed that the extra amiibo's were a late shipment from Nintendo or found in a warehouse and put online. However there is reported sighting's in Europe of Ocarina of Time Link on store shelves. The newly reported amiibo is different than the 30th anniversary one that was originally shipped out and recently up online at Best Buy. The new Ocarina of Time Link does not have the 30th anniversary edition logo and the bottom right corner is now red due to the launch of the Nintendo Switch in recent months.
