By all accounts, the follow-up to the beloved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/legend_of_zelda_breath_of_the_wild\">Breath of the Wild<\/a> is shaping up to be a sprawling sandbox with even more opportunities for experimentation and exploration than its predecessor, and we&#8217;re certain we&#8217;re not alone in eyeing the calendar and wishing time would pass <em>just a little faster<\/em> in the remaining two weeks leading up to the game&#8217;s launch.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/zelda\/related-articles:148588,148633 @ 2023-05-02T03:23:37+01:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p>While we wait, we&#8217;ve been preparing by diving back into Hyrule to reacquaint ourselves with old friends and stomping grounds in both BOTW and HW:AOC (hmm, the abbreviation for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/hyrule_warriors_age_of_calamity\">Age of Calamity<\/a> doesn&#8217;t quite have the same ring to it). Revisiting those games, it&#8217;s reminded us just how great Link&#8217;s sagely support network of champions is, not to mention their descendants.<\/p>\n<p>We enjoyed their presence in BOTW, of course (<em>Daruk&#8217;s Protection is now ready to roll!<\/em>), and the Champion&#8217;s Ballad DLC shined a brighter light on them, but one of Age of Calamity&#8217;s greatest strengths was showcasing Mipha, Revali, Urbosa, and Daruk so much better as Link&#8217;s old friends and allies. It genuinely enhanced our appreciation and affection for them when we returned to BOTW, and it also prompted us to pick up that great amiibo four-pack.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Zelda BOTW Champions amiibo\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6a32d6bb4b066\/zelda-botw-champions-amiibo.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5MDAgNTY2Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"900\" height=\"566\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6a32d6bb4b066\/zelda-botw-champions-amiibo.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Zelda BOTW Champions amiibo\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\">You could do some real damage with Daruk&#8217;s amiibo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But which one is our favourite? It&#8217;s tough to choose. Some people will go by personality, while others might rank them by the usefulness of the abilities they bestow on Link. Revali&#8217;s Gale was a lifesaver \u2014 or at least a <em>time<\/em>saver \u2014 but the abilities are all so handy in the field, and each Champion is so likeable (in their own way), that picking one is a real challenge.<\/p>\n<p>You hear that? It&#8217;s the Nintendo Life poll klaxon! Below you&#8217;ll find a quick recap on each Champion, and below those there&#8217;s a poll \u2014 let us know which is your favourite and we&#8217;ll settle this once and for all. We begin, in alphabetical order, with a Goron Hero&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>Note. Technically, Link himself is also a champion (he&#8217;s even got his own Divine Beast), but we&#8217;re excluding him from the running here.
