It is the exact same item, even the barcodes and item numbers match - except the packaging is much different. The entry that already existed has The Legend of Zelda 30th Series packaging, whereas the entry I created did not. I even denoted it in the item description.
No biggie if an admin would rather the two items remain as one in the database, I just saw them as two separate entries in my mind.
Edit: I had created the VGC entry to read: amiibo: Link (The Legend of Zelda) [JP]
