I don't have to tell you The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom comes out May 12, because the very subject of this article self-selects people who already know that. I also don't have to tell you about how the Tears of the Kingdom Switch OLED model is still available pretty much everywhere, but the Tears of the Kingdom Pro Controller and the Tears of the Kindgom Collector's Edition sold out fast and probably aren't coming back.
But hey, at least you can still get the Tears of the Kingdom Link amiibo, right?
Well, yes. You can get the Tears of the Kingdom amiibo at Best Buy and GameStop, but it's already sold out at Amazon. And those Link amiibo reprints? They're also hard to come by. In fact, pretty much everything The Legend of Zelda-related seems to be in short supply (other than the OLED Switch, which is both hugely popular and widely available).
As an excercise in torture, I guess, I went ahead and built up a list of every Legend of Zelda amiibo, ever, and threw in links (pun intended) where you can see them for sale and decide not to buy them. Well, I take that back: you're free to buy them, but with very rare exceptions they're all two or more times their original price. People don't even know what role amiibo might play in Tears of the Kingdom, but just in case, they're buying them anyway.

Will There be More Tears of the Kingdom Amiibo?
So far, the Link Tears of the Kingdom amiibo is the only new amiibo we know of for the new Zelda game. However, if you look at the release schedule of the amiibo around Breath of the Wild, you see a whole lot more than just one. Either Nintendo has a bunch more scheduled, and they're afraid of spoiling the game, or they just won't make any more than one. I'm leaning towards the first possibility myself. Time will tell.
