What do they do in game? They just arrived today and I was focusing on finishing Mario Wonder before returning to it.

I think each unlocks a unique paraglider fabric, plus daily weapons/materials. I'm not positive, though.

Two of the best games ever made! Well deserved. I hope Tears of the Kingdom does in fact breach 25 million.

Personally, I'm quite skeptical. I think Zelda lends itself more to animation, particularly hand-drawn animation. And the director, Wes Ball, while competent, is not exactly an auteur. Finally, due to Nintendo's protective, cautious approach to its properties, I expect something safe and generic.
