In this article, we discuss how to get Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Amiibo rewards and the list of announced rewards. With the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom drawing closer, fans are excited to see what more the Zelda franchise has to offer. Moreover, Nintendo makes your journey through the game even more exciting with the inclusion of Amiibo rewards.
Amiibo accessories not only act as decoration pieces for gaming merchandise collectors, but serve a much deeper purpose with the inclusion of Amiibo rewards in The Legend of Zelda series. That's also the case for Tears of the Kingdom!
How to get Amiibo rewards in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Nintendo announced a new Link Amiibo in tandem with the release of Tears of the Kingdom on May 13. Along with the tweet announcing the new Amiibo, Nintendo shed more light on the functionality of Amiibo figures in Tears of the Kingdom. It showcases how scanning the Amiibo makes you eligible to receive various rewards in the game, based on the scanned accessory.
The specific details on how to redeem Amiibo rewards in Tears of the Kingdom are yet to be unveiled by Nintendo. However, a similar mechanic was available in the previous game, Breath of the Wild. So, the return of this mechanic is expected to allow us to receive any particular reward in their game inventory after scanning the relevant Amiibo for that reward.
If this rewards system works the same as it did in Breath of the Wild, we can expect to receive in-game currency, gear, consumables, and other collectibles by scanning both Zelda-themed and non-Zelda Amiibos. In fact, it appears that Zelda-themed Amiibos can unlock some exciting skins for Link’s paraglider in the game.
