Something for the Gamers....

So this little Link Plushie (from the Legend of Zelda, by Nintendo), has a secret to share with you today....
But before he does... there is some details that you need to know. He had a friend, the Link Amiibo (also by Nintendo). My son just LOVES Amiibos. He plays with them all the time, on his nintendo games, in his imagination, and also as his game piece for Monopoly (the board game). The last time we played monopoly... it is just such a looonngg game, we left it out while we did other things, as we have done so many times before. When we came back home we found out the bitter demise my son's beloved character had suffered.... Our dog ATE Link!!! AHHH!!! (so yea, my kid wanted another amiibo to replace him).

This is all that was left of Link Amiibo

Well... the problem with replacing the Link Amiibo is that all of my son's data (across all his games) and stats belonging to Link will thus be lost.

So now... our little Link Plushie has gained a "soul." His secret is in his bottom. My idea was taken from the Yarn Yoshi Amiibos. In much the same way as the Yarn Yoshi. I broke some seams in the bottom of the Link Plushies, then took the "Amiibo" part of the character (since that was all that was left of Link, and thus the most important part). After removing the beans I was able to place the plastic Amiibo part into the bottom of the Link Plushie and gave new life to both the broken Amiibo character and to the new Link Plushie that my child just HAD to have at the store. and Thus the Link Plushie Amiibo was born. My son is so ecstatic to not loose his info and to have a unique Amiibo.

I hope you enjoyed this little idea... 

Happy Creating!
