What Every Amiibo Unlocks In The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
Much like its predecessor, Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom makes great use of Nintendo’s amiibo figurines, allowing players to scan their favourite NFC-enabled characters to unlock gear and items in the game.
Like before, the amiibo from the Zelda franchise are absolutely the best ones to have on-hand as they’ll provide unique unlocks, unlike the rest of the vast amiibo catalogue which will just spit out random items.
To start using any amiibo in-game, you’ll just need to do the following:
Select the amiibo ability from your weapon wheel
Hold the amiibo to the NFC reader on your Joy-Con or Pro Controller
Watch the rewards drop into the game in front of Link
Profit!
You can only get one reward for each amiibo per day, but the trick from Breath of the Wild still works. The below guides indicate what items you might get, so keep reloading until you get what you want.
The fabrics you receive from amiibo can be taken to the Dye Shop in Hateno Village to change the look of Link’s paraglider.
And for a handy guide to what each of the Zelda amiibo unlocks, take a look at our complete list below:
