I got all besides Sm4sh Zelda, Sheik, sm4sh toon link and OOT Link, really would like to get OOT Link some time, it's alright trying to have one of each of the "main" amiibo, but when Zelda was released with all the BOTW amiibo. However, the good news is pretty much everything an amiibo can unlock, can also be found in-game — so see this as an additional shortcut to get various themed items, albeit with a dash of luck involved.
