      Some of them are specific to Link’s latest adventure, including things like Riju’s lightning ability, which lets the player target enemies with a bow and bring down a lighting strike wherever the arrow lands.

      These are a stretch, even for Nintendo, and I’ll be surprised if any of them stick. But, then again, I was also surprised (and very upset) by Bamco successfully patenting loading screen mini games (and then hardly ever even using them) back when that happened. So who knows.
