However, this news has also caused some controversy because in the images we can clearly see that the figure is missing the NFC base , and fans have not overlooked it especially considering that at some point the amiibo suffered a “mutilation” to despite being one of the most difficult figures to find. Additionally, in statements to HLN, Heuls has referred to Link as “Zelda.”
