- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Link Amiibo
- Zelda: Majora’s Mask Link Amiibo
- Zelda: Breath of the Wild Link Amiibo
- Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Zelda & Loftwing Amiibo
On top of these amiibo, the official Zelda.com page also lists the following Zelda series amiibo will provide you with “helpful materials, weapons, or a paraglider fabric based on which one you scanned.”
- Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Wolf Link Amiibo (sadly it will NOT give you a wolf helper buddy in this game like it did in Zelda: Breath of the Wild)
- Zelda: Ocarina of Time Link Amiibo
- The Legend of Zelda 8-Bit Link Amiibo
- Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Toon Link & Zelda Amiibo
- Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Link Amiibo
- Zelda: Breath of the Wild Bokoblin Amiibo
- “…and more!” means you should try every single Zelda & Smash Bros. series Amiibo for a reward. Yes, including Link’s Awakening, Breath of the Wild’s Champions or a Guardian.
*Note: All of these cosmetic items can be obtained in-game as well. For example, as you progress through the story you’ll eventually be able to buy all armor and weapons at Cece in Hateno. More specificially, you can find other items at specific locations like the Hylian Shield that can be found in the Docks in Hyrule castle, if you enter from the north entrance near the huge hole in the ground, then light the torch (like you did in Breath of the Wild) for the shrine to appear, only this time a chest appears.

Unleash your imagination
Here are just some of the ways Link can tap into his new abilities in creative — and sometimes surprising — ways.
Explore
Link must travel across the far-reaching land and skies of Hyrule to discover the origins of the mysterious gloom that is plaguing the kingdom.
Create
Use Link’s powerful new abilities like Ultrahand and Fuse to make audacious weapons and craft creative ways to travel across the landscape.
Discover
Find new ways to build, battle, and play as you try to uncover the secret menace that threatens Hyrule.
New abilities
Transform the way you play with Link’s new abilities.
Ultrahand
Using the new Ultrahand ability, Link can pick up, move, and rotate objects. He can even attach things together to create bridges, vehicles, and more!
Fuse
Magically fuse objects to Link’s current weapon, shield, or arrow to increase durability, damage, or even add a new effect. Experiment with lots of different combinations to come up with surprising—and sometimes hilarious—results!
Ascend
Add a new dimension to your exploration with Ascend, which gives Link the ability to pass through solid objects above him. Rise up through ceilings, hillsides, and even certain enemies to create seemingly impossible shortcuts.
Recall
Use Recall to reverse an object’s movement, letting Link ride fallen boulders skyward, recover thrown weapons, or send projectiles back where they came from.
Have fun! 😀
