Earlier this month Nintendo announced an entire line of Zelda 30th anniversary amiibo figures that will launch later this winter.

Let me just say that out of the gate, Kôna Day One captures the idea and view I have of Canada: Ice Age. Heh, all joking aside, I really liked this game. I got to see a little of it at PAX Prime last year and I was intrigued with what they were going to do with it.

Initially I thought it had something to do with sales starting and ending on Thursdays, but I noticed that today on a Sunday the prices were mysteriously absent again. And then I figured...
