Nintendohas a wide range of amiibo figures for many of its series, and that includesThe Legend of Zelda. Since the company began making these figures, many more have been added to the collection, so there are plenty of options to choose from if you’re a fan of the games.
Not only do these figures come in a range of designs representing various titles and characters, but they also have different functions in-game when you scan them. Each amiibo figure comes with its own unique rewards, so you may want to consider their in-game functionality before you purchase one too.
Best The Legend Of Zelda Amiibo
The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Link Amiibo
This Link amiibo is based on the titular hero’s look in The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. A good-looking collectible that you can also use to unlock items in various Zelda games by tapping it to your Switch.
When Nintendo first showed Link in its debut trailer forEchoes of Wisdom, many of us assumed the Link’s Awakening remaster we’ve all been waiting for was finally getting announced. Turns out we’re getting an entirely new The Legend Of Zelda game with a similar art style to Link’s Awakening, and the similarities extend beyond look alone.
Nintendo has also confirmed Link’s Link’s Awakening amiibo will be compatible with Echoes Of Wisdom, unlocking items and clothes for Zelda. Even if you’re reading this long after the Echoes Of Wisdom hype has died down, this amiibo is well worth adding to your collection. It should hopefully still be widely available too since it was reprinted in preparation for the release of the latest Zelda game.
The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker Amiibo Two-Pack
Nintendo gave Link and Zelda cartoon-style makeovers for Wind Waker, and then it turned those designs into amiibo. Amiibo that can not only be used to unlock stuff in Wind Waker, but also in other Zelda games since all the way up to Echoes Of Wisdom.
Two amiibo is always better than one, but particularly when the amiibo look this good. Modeled after Link and Zelda’s designs in Wind Waker, one of a few games in the series that curiously still hasn’t found its way onto the Nintendo Switch. Unless you’re reading this way off in the future and the unthinkable has happened, of course.
It makes sense that these two were paired together, and it’s a shame more Zelda amiibo weren’t given this treatment. The Link, Ganondorf, and Zelda amiibo from Tears of the Kingdom - links to where you can buy them all individually further down this article, by the way - would have sold incredibly well if bundled together. At least we got these two Wind Waker amiibo in the same pack.
Tears Of The Kingdom Zelda Amiibo
Princess Zelda wears her Zonai-era outfit in this amiibo, and holds the Master Sword in a regal pose. The details on this amiibo are fantastic, and it’s great to see Zelda in an alternative outfit.
Princess Zelda’s design in Tears of the Kingdom is nothing short of stunning, so it’s great to see it perfectly replicated in her amiibo figure for this game. She wears Zonai-era clothing given to her by Sonia when she finds herself in the past, and holds onto the Master Sword with a solemn expression on her face.
If you use this amiibo when playing Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll be able to get your hands on an exclusive paraglider fabric, so it’s well worth picking up if you want to collect those.
Tears Of The Kingdom Ganondorf Amiibo
The Demon King looks as majestic as ever in his Tears of the Kingdom design. He wields his sharp-looking katana, and poses in a way that shows of his mighty strength.
The Demon King himself always looks powerful and intimidating, and especially so in this amiibo figure. Ganondorf’s Tears of the Kingdom design is expertly recreated here, from his flowing red hair down to his unique katana weapon.
Even if you’re just planning on displaying Ganondorf on your shelf (among the rest of your amiibo, no doubt), it’s worth tapping him into Tears of the Kingdom, as you’ll have the chance of receiving a new paraglider fabric, with a design paying homage to the iconic villain himself.
Wolf Link Amiibo - The Legend Of Zelda Collection
Hailing from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the Wolf Link amiibo features Wolf Link proudly posing on rocks with Midna in her imp form riding on his back, just like she does in the game.
Twilight Princessis one of the most beloved entries in The Legend of Zelda series, largely in part to Wolf Link and Midna. This amiibo figure celebrates both of these characters and shows them how you’d often see the pair in the game — Midna sitting on Wolf Link’s back while in her imp form.
The amiibo also has some of the best functionality when scanned into your games. InBreath of the Wild, you can scan the amiibo andhave Wolf Link join you on your adventurein Hyrule. To boost his hearts in this game, you can scan the figure into Twilight Princess HD and complete the Cave of Shadows, which can only be entered by using the amiibo. You also have the chance to get your hands on an amiibo-exclusive Mirror of Twilight paraglider fabric inTears of the Kingdomby scanning it into this game.
Zelda & Loftwing Amiibo - The Legend Of Zelda Collection
The Zelda & Loftwing amiibo is one of the larger figures from the collection, featuring Zelda from Skyward Sword and her Loftwing.
Launched alongsideSkyward Sword HD, the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo has intricate detail in its design, portraying Zelda petting her Loftwing. Its main fuctionality is for enabling improved fast travel in Skyward Sword HD — by scanning the amiibo, you can travel straight to the sky without needing to use a Bird Statue.
The amiibo also has an exclusive reward in Tears of the Kingdom that will be very nostaglic if you’re a fan of Skyward Sword. If you get lucky while scanning it in, you couldreceive the Goddess fabricto customize your paraglider. This is a direct recreation of the design of the Sailcloth from Skyward Sword, so you’re able to feel as though you’re back in Skyloft while you paraglide around Hyrule.
Ganondorf No. 41 Amiibo - Super Smash Bros. Collection
The Demon King Ganondorf has an amiibo for Super Smash Bros. and bears a striking resemblance to his appearance in Twilight Princess.
Part of theSuper Smash Bros.amiibo series, the Ganondorf figure uses the Demon King’s design from Twilight Princess, and can be scanned in both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom for exclusive rewards. In Breath of the Wild, you have the chance to obtain the Sword of the Six Sages — the weapon that Ganon stole from the sages at his failed execution before the events of Twilight Princess.
The weapon can be received in Tears of the Kingdom too, though it’s under the name of the Dusk Claymore instead. You can also scan the amiibo to obtain the Demon King fabric, which you can use to customize your paraglider. You need to be careful when scanning Ganondorf in both games, though, as he can sometimes drop bomb barrels that may explode when they hit the ground.
Link Majora’s Mask Amiibo - The Legend Of Zelda Collection
This amiibo features Young Link on his adventure during Majora’s Mask, holding the Goron Mask near his face.
Alongside having an adorable design of Young Link with the Goron Mask, the Majora’s Mask amiibo offers some of the most fruitful rewards when you scan it into your games. Use it in Breath of the Wild, and you have the chance to receive the Fierce Deity Mask, the Fierce Deity Armor, and the Fierce Deity Boots — have a little patience, and you can wear the whole set.
The armor set is also available as a reward in Tears of the Kingdom (so you don’t need to go traipsing down in the Depths to find where the pieces are sold) and there’s an additional prize too. If you’re lucky, you’ll receive the Majora’s Mask fabric, allowing you to change your paraglider to look exactly like the iconic mask itself.
Link Tears Of The Kingdom Amiibo - The Legend Of Zelda Collection
To celebrate the launch of Tears of the Kingdom, this amiibo is Link using his Zonai arm, wearing his new-and-improved Champion’s Leathers.
The launch of Tears of the Kingdom also brought a brand-new Link amiibo. In this figure, he dons his Champion’s Leathers, which is the enhanced version of the original Champion’s Tunic, and shows off his Zonai arm.
When you scan this figure into Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll receive a mixture of mushrooms (a Hearty Truffle if you’re lucky) but the real prize is the corresponding paraglider fabric. You have the chance to receive the Champion’s Leathers fabric, which looks exactly like Link’s new outfit.
Urbosa, Revali, Mipha, Daruk Set Amiibo - The Legend Of Zelda Collection
All four Champions from Breath of the Wild - Urbosa, Revali, Mipha, and Daruk - appear in this set of amiibo figures.
The Champions from Breath of the Wild are available in a four-in-one set — in one box, you’ll get Urbosa, Champion of the Gerudo; Revali, Champion of the Rito; Mipha, Champion of the Zora; and Daruk, Champion of the Gorons. Each Champion has been positioned into their iconic pose.
When you scan any of these amiibo into Breath of the Wild, they might drop the Champion’s corresponding Divine Helm. You can obtain these Divine Helms in Tears of the Kingdom when you scan them as well, but you could also receive a paraglider fabric with a design representing the respective Champion.
