Yeah, amiibo content is definitely on the exploitative side. Most of the things you get with it in games like The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild should have been available in the base game, and it irritates me that quality of life features in games like Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda Skyward Sword are locked away in the same way.

It's very much on disc DLC, except with a plastic figure associated with it.

I absolutely do not recommend you visit Etsy and absolutely would never suggest you search for NFC cards that emulate amiibos.

Hah way ahead of you there! Got some amiibo cards for Breath of the Wild about a year or two ago, and they've worked fantastically.
