Legend of Zelda amiibos are getting expensive I mean REALLY expensive. So you need to ask yourself do you really want it on your shelf and the Breath of the Wild Functions each provides? I want to help you answer that. Main in game functions I will mention is Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. (Though keep in mind some work with Smash, Twilight Princess HD, and Hyrule Warriors.) They will be organized into groups by their main drop.
*Sword Group* - Travelors sword - Royal Sword and elemental arrows.
(Smash Link/TP Link) The 2 work the same.
Unique set: Twilight Princess skins.
Epona appears on 1st scan. She's a contender for best horse. She sprints for more strides and the gentle temperament won't throw you off.
Extras:Produce,Elemental arrows, shields
Smash Link is a poor quality figurine while TP Link is one of the highest.
(Skyward Sword Link)
Unique: Skward Sword skins
Goddess Sword. Forgettable
Extras: rupees,shields
High quality figurine
(Breath of the Wild Link Rider)
Unique: special horse saddle
Extras:Produce
High detail figurine.
(8-bit Link)
Unique:Legend of Zelda skins
Sword. Nothing to go out of your way to aquire.
Extras: Rupees,shields
For the nostaligia collector.
(Smash Toon Link/LOZ 30 anniversary Toon Link)
Unique: Windwaker skins
Seabreeze boomerang. I personally use boomerangs as melee weapons in Breath. The jury's out on this one.
Extras:Fish
Figures are good quality.
*Bow Group* Travelors bow-royal bow
(Smash Princess Zelda)
Unique: Twilight Bow. This one rocks. Best bow by range. Literal sniper. Uses light arrows not your arrow supply. Has around a hundred shots before it goes. Not the most powerful but that range is second to none.
Extras:gems, flowers, herbs
Good quality figurine. Dress well done
(Breath of the Wild Archer Link)
Unique: none. May drop Falcon Bow but that's not exclusive
Extras: elemental arrors, meat, fish
Very High quality figurine.
*Shield Group* Travelors shield-royal shield
(Too Zelda)
Unique: Heros Shield. Rendered useless by Hylian Shield.
Extras: herbs, flowers, gems
Figurine is ok it's good for what it is depicting
(Breath of the Wild Zelda)
Unique: none, source for radiant shield. Rendered pointless by Hylian Shield.
Extras:herbs, flowers, gems
Good figurine hard to find.
*2 Handed Sword Group* Travelors claymore- Royal claymore
(OoT Link)
Unique: OoT skins, Biggoron sword. Not worth the trouble to get.
Extras: meat, elemental arrows
Figurine based on OoT artwork ok not great eyes look weird.
(Smash Ganondorf)
Unique: Sword of the Six Sages. Not worth it to go out of your way.
Extras: rupees, gems, rare monster parts (unique to this Amiibo but you can farm all monster parts in game)
Great quality figurine. Only Ganon we have so far for collectors. One of the more affordable amiibos.
(Majora's Mask Link)
Unique: Fierce Deity skins and sword. Functions the same as the in game barbarian set. Looks cooler but like barbarian set requires lyanel farming to upgrade.
Extras: produce, elemental arrows
High quality figurine. This one is expensive and getting worse...High demand by Zelda collectors.
*Unique* they are all different.
(Breath of the Wild Guardian)
Unique: Source of guardian - guardian ++ equipment weapons and shields. Source of ancient and giant ancient (rare) cores. Source of ancient arrows. Source of ancient parts. This is the best Amiibo for in game use. If you only get one this is the one to get.
Extras: gems
Highest quality figure. Top 5 of best Amiibo design. Looks great. Expensive and getting worse. Approaching $50...
(Breath of the Wild Bokoblin)
Unique:none. In game use for this guy is at zero. Boko weapons are everywhere in game as is meat. If I had him I wouldn't bother to scan him.
High quality figurine. Fairly rare in stores.
(Smash Sheik)
Unique: sheik's mask. Essentially an additional head skin working in the stealth clothes set.
Source of Sheika weapons (outclassed by midgame) and elemental arrows.
Extras: mushrooms
*Champions Ballad set*
All 4 may drop diamonds. Each has a unique helmet that pairs with the ancient armor set and each weapon drops corresponds to their race.
Figures are of the highest quality. They are still in stores but buy fast.
Happy Hunting.
