That's really kind of oversimplifying it. The amiibo allows you to go into the sky at any time and back to where you were on the surface, but it doesn't suddenly open up a bunch of fast travel locations. And there are bird statues all over the place in this game that serve that same function of taking you to the sky. Generally on the surface you're usually no more than a minute away from one when you need to use it. It's really not a quality of life change that the game needed. It's still incredibly stupid to lock something like that behind an amiibo, because it is cool, but I imagine that sounds much worse to someone who has never played/doesn't remember the game well.

I am baffled, however, that they chose to lock hero mode behind beating the game, apparently. This...makes no sense. WWHD and TPHD both have hero mode available from the get go. I know enemies in those two games do significantly less damage than enemies in SS so they desperately needed a hero mode and SS didn't, but...damn. :(
