The WUP link feature had a significant impact on the Skylanders franchise. It:
On the third island they found a once-grand statue of a Skylander, now chipped and occupied by a colony of Shadowmoths. Flynn watched Bouldor move—slow, precise, a mountain rearranging itself around a pebble. She cupped the moths and whispered a Giant’s lullaby. The moths folded into dust that glimmered like the edges of old save files. When the statue spoke—a rusty, looping voice like a cartridge booting up—it offered Flynn a Skylander’s crest: a small, rune-etched token that fit his palm like it always had. skylanders giants wii u wup link
