The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been out for a couple weeks now, and players are discovering many of the game’s surprises. But there’s at least one unforeseen change that has left some players a little frustrated. The Wolf Link amiibo no longer grants players access to the legendary canine companion.
