You have to scan it in the gear screen.

You have TPHD?!Everything is looking extremely nice.
Overall, it's very similar to the upgrade that happened between OoT and OoT3D. Everything looks really good, yet extremely faithful to the original.

Yes?
It is the release day is it not?
I have the preordered physical version with the game, Amiibo, and Soundtrack

Ah. I thought it would be released next year. Sorry, my bad.

Horse riding is definitely changed.
Riding Epona is a lot more akin to riding Agro in Shadows of the Collosus. Which is both a blessing and a curse. She feels a lot better to handle, and it is a lot more realistic. However, she can often be tough to handle at first. I actually had a bit of hard time jumping the fence in the first part of the game, something I have never had trouble with. However, Ordon Ranch is by far the most enclosed space in the game where you have Epona. So it is fine.

I know that's what you're supposed to do, but it just doesn't work. Does it for you? I registered the thing in the Wii U settings and all, and when I scan it on the title screen it says "you can use this in the collection screen", which I'm doing, but there's just no response at all for me.
Really annoyed by this.On topic, I'm severly dissappointed that caves aren't dark anymore. I remember in the first cave you go into you could barely see a thing without the lantern, and one of my favourite memories of the game was stumbling around in the dark in a cave near Lake Hylia after running out of oil. As far as I can tell, you can see perfectly fine even without lighting your lantern now, in the first cave at least. Why'd they do this?

It looks like you won't be able to use Amiibo until after a certain point. Am currently at Hyrule Castle. So I am guessing we will be able to use Amiibo after the first twilight section.I know that's what you're supposed to do, but it just doesn't work. Does it for you?

That's what I'm hoping for aswell, actually. I saw a video where someone was using it in the first dungeon, and since it responds at the title screen, neither the figure nor my gamepad are broken. I guess I'll just wait it out. Having only three hearts at the moment, I died often enough as it is. 
Press start, on gamepad you should see the amiibo function. Note that it doesn't appear immediately -- you have to advance in the story for a bit before it pops up.
