So, you think you're a true Hylian hero? You've conquered Calamity Ganon, saved Skyloft, and maybe even figured out how to build a zonai death machine in Tears of the Kingdom. But let me ask you this: is your shelf looking a little bare? Where are the tiny, meticulously painted plastic tributes to our favorite pointy-eared adventurer and his friends? That's right, I'm talking about amiibo. As a professional gamer with a collection that threatens to take over my entire living space, I'm here to guide you through the wilds of Hyrule's best figurines. These aren't just pretty faces; they're keys to unlock some of the coolest in-game goodies across the Zelda-verse. Let's dive in, shall we?

First up, let's talk about a figure that's had a serious glow-up in relevance. Remember when Nintendo dropped that first Echoes of Wisdom trailer and we all collectively lost our minds? For a glorious second, I thought my prayers for a Link's Awakening sequel had been answered. While we got something even better (playing as Zelda, finally!), the connection remains. Nintendo confirmed that the Link's Awakening Link amiibo is compatible with Echoes of Wisdom. That's right, scanning this adorable, chibi-style Link can unlock special items and outfits for Princess Zelda herself. Talk about a power move! Even in 2025, this amiibo is a must-have. It got a nice reprint for the Echoes launch, so you shouldn't have to fight a Lynel to find one.

Now, who doesn't love a two-for-one deal? The Wind Waker Amiibo Two-Pack is pure art. It captures the charming, cel-shaded looks of Toon Link and Tetra (disguised Zelda, of course) perfectly. It's a constant, painful reminder that The Wind Waker still isn't on the Nintendo Switch as a standalone title (come on, Nintendo! It's 2025!). These two just belong together. It makes you wonder why they didn't bundle the Tears of the Kingdom trio. Imagine a box with Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf from that game? Instant collector's gold. But hey, at least we got this fantastic duo.

Speaking of Tears of the Kingdom, let's admire the royalty. The Tears of the Kingdom Zelda Amiibo is stunning. It perfectly captures her solemn expression and that beautiful Zonai-era gown. But she's not just for display! Tap her into Tears of the Kingdom, and you have a chance to snag an exclusive paraglider fabric. Because what's saving Hyrule without a bit of fashionable flair?

And what's a princess without her villain? The Tears of the Kingdom Ganondorf Amiibo is the Demon King in all his menacing glory. The detailing on his flowing hair and that wicked katana is top-tier. Display him menacingly on your shelf, but don't forget to scan him! He might just drop a paraglider fabric fit for a king... of evil. A word of warning, though: sometimes he's a bit of a troll and drops bomb barrels that go boom. Typical Ganon.

For the Twilight Princess fans (I see you, edgy Hylians), the Wolf Link Amiibo is iconic. It's Wolf Link with Midna perched on his back, just like in the game. The functionality here is genius. Scan it into Breath of the Wild, and you get a literal wolf companion to adventure with. Want to make him stronger? You need to scan it into Twilight Princess HD and conquer the Cave of Shadows. It's amiibo functionality with layers. In Tears of the Kingdom, it can grant you the Mirror of Twilight paraglider fabric. Now that's value.

Ah, the skies. The Zelda & Loftwing Amiibo from the Skyward Sword HD era is beautifully detailed, showing Zelda gently petting her crimson Loftwing. Its main superpower? In Skyward Sword HD, it lets you fast-travel to the sky anytime, a serious quality-of-life boost. But the real tear-jerker for fans is scanning it in Tears of the Kingdom for a chance at the Goddess fabric—a direct replica of the Sailcloth from Skyward Sword. Gliding over Hyrule Field with that equipped? Pure nostalgia.

Don't sleep on the Super Smash Bros. Series Ganondorf Amiibo (the one based on his Twilight Princess look). This guy is a treasure trove. Scan him in BotW or TotK, and you might get the Sword of the Six Sages (called the Dusk Claymore in TotK). You can also score the Demon King paraglider fabric. Just, again, watch out for those bomb barrels. He fights dirty even in plastic form.

Now, for one of the most rewarding scans: the Link Majora's Mask Amiibo. This figure of Young Link wearing the Goron Mask is cute, but its power is fierce. In both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, scanning it can net you the entire Fierce Deity armor set. That's the mask, armor, and boots—some of the best-looking gear in the game. No more searching Dark World flea markets! Plus, you might get the Majora's Mask paraglider fabric. Talk about a majora-ty of rewards! (I'm sorry, I had to.)

Of course, we have the Link Tears of the Kingdom Amiibo himself, sporting the Champion's Leathers and his fancy new Zonai arm. Scanning him mainly gets you mushrooms (yum?), but the grand prize is the Champion's Leathers fabric for your paraglider. It's a perfect match for Link's endgame outfit.

Finally, for the ultimate fan of the Champions, the Urbosa, Revali, Mipha, Daruk Set is the way to go. All four, in their iconic poses, in one box. It's efficient! Scanning them in BotW or TotK can drop their respective Divine Helms or special Champion-themed paraglider fabrics. It's the best way to show your love for the fallen heroes (and Revali, who was just kind of a jerk).

🎮 Amiibo 101: Your Burning Questions Answered 🎮

You've got questions, I've got answers. Let's break it down.

How the Heck Do I Use These Things?

On your Nintendo Switch, it's simple:

1. Go into the game's amiibo function (it's in the abilities wheel in TotK).

2. Hold the amiibo figure over the right control stick on your Joy-Con or Pro Controller.

3. Wait for the magic ding! 🎉

Do Zelda Amiibo Work in Animal Crossing?

Ah, a sore spot for many. In the 3DS's Animal Crossing: New Leaf, you could scan Wolf Link and get him as a villager! Sadly, this fantastic feature was not carried over to New Horizons. A huge missed opportunity, if you ask me. Imagine Ganondorf terrorizing your island with his smug smile.

What Games Can I Use Them In?

Here’s a quick-reference table because I'm organized like that:

Game Title	Primary Amiibo Rewards
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild	Weapons, Armor, Materials, Wolf Link Companion
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom	Paraglider Fabrics, Armor, Weapons, Materials
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity	Weapons, Materials

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate	Trainable Fighter Spirits
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD	Unlocks Cave of Shadows (Wolf Link)

So, there you have it, fellow collectors and gamers. In 2025, the world of Zelda amiibo is richer than ever. Whether you're in it for the stunning figures, the sweet in-game loot, or just to have Midna judging you from your desk, there's an amiibo out there with your name on it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go scan my entire collection again. Just in case.
