You can dress up as Link in 'Skyrim' for the Switch
Watch Next

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is coming to the Nintendo Switch this year. Not only will it have optional motion controls for bow and arrow shooting, but it will have Amiibo support, too. Tap a Link Amiibo to the Switch and you can run around Skyrim with a Master's Sword and a hero's tunic.

Bethesda announced this amazing addition to Skyrim at its E3 press conference in Los Angeles today, revealing the Switch exclusive feature on this edition of its adventure RPG. There's a possibility that other Amiibo will give you other Nintendo costumes.

Can you imagine adventuring through Skyrim while dressed up as Luigi? Perfection.
