From the Surface to the Sky

Zelda and Loftwing amiibo - Return to Sky
While on the Surface, using the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo will let you teleport to the Sky on the spot. This feature can be used inside dungeons, so if you run out of items, it would be a good idea to return and replenish your items in Skyloft.

Zelda and Loftwing amiibo - Return to Surface

While on the Sky, using the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo will quickly return you back from where you flew from the Surface.

Normally, you can only choose the landing point by picking a location of a Bird Statue, but with the new amiibo, you can go back from anywhere you like!

Skyward Sword HD Amiibo Support

Loftwing Compatibility.png
The only compatible amiibo for Skyward Sword HD is the Zelda and Loftwing Amiibo.

Players who previously purchased many Legend of Zelda amiibos for costumes in Breath of the Wild may be slightly disappointed to hear this news, but the Link Skyward Sword Amiibo, as well as all other Zelda (and non-Zelda amiibos) are not compatible with Skyward Sword HD.
