The New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom amiibo Is Now Available, Did You Get It?

Ye I got it together with my preordered game.
Got a good deal, 70 EUR for the game plus amiibo.

Yep building up the supply with the amiibo collection. I hadn’t known about the weapon condition and thought Nintendo nerfed the drops. Almost started tossing stuff. You can get non decayed weapons with amiibo as well.

The item drops with amiibo allow you to cook meals that over fill your hearts and stamina which are needed in the early game. Instead of having to buy and forage. Link has enough to deal with.

The Epona generation odds are way higher than in BOTW. I have three of them (one I tamed and two wild) right now. It’s kinda weird to see all these clones.

Shipping got delayed by a day. Should be today!

I really like the Design of Zelda in this game. Does anyone know if there will be more Amiibos for TotK, and when they usually release?

No I did not get it.

I collect Zelda amiibo's so there was never a chance I wouldn't get it.

I preordered a couple months ago when they first started showing up. It will arrive tomorrow.

I bought two and more importantly - got the Wind Waker set. The Wind Waker duo is now very high on my amiibo list.

I know amiibo really annoy some people - but I hope they continue it Nintendo's next gen. I really like the little statues.

Completely sold out, hope they restock it.

I'm surprised people still buy these things. In my view, amiibos are cheaply-produced 'made in China' bits of plastic tat. I admit I did buy one amiibo a few years ago - the huge woolly Yoshi. But that was because he was too adorable not to buy.

Amiibos only really unlock cosmetic things, don't they? Things like different outfits for characters in games. That kind of thing, right? The only thing that would really make amiibos worth buying for me would be if things like expansion passes for games could only be unlocked by using an amiibo. Imagine if the expansion pass for Tears of the Kingdom could be unlocked only by using a Zelda amiibo. Now, that would make an amiibo worth buying.

@RubyCarbuncle I never pre-order games. I always pre-order these things. One manufacturing batch for all but the most popular characters - and they are done.

Debating on whether to open it. Maybe I will resell it later

Got one now waiting to pickup the second one. That will be going send to my nephew along with my extra TOTK game as well.

@sabreman64 I'm not interested in $200 realistic 18" statues that make females uncomfortable. I like these little ones.I don't find them cheap at all. They are strudy and some are very well crafted and sculpted. For example the Bayonettas and recent Sephiroth amiibos are very detailed.

@sabreman64 In BOTW and TOTK zelda amiibo's give you chests with weapons and other items as well as consumables. Additionally, they can be used once per day to get their bonuses.

It definitely makes a difference, especially in the early game. Of course, if you don't care about collecting, you can buy a full set of RFID cards for the price of one amiibo.

It wasn’t at my local stores, but I’ll probably get it if it shows up eventually. I’m not going to hunt it down though.

I bought a Wolf Link amiibo instead which is my most wanted amiibo after Pyra/Mythra. IDK if it has functionality in TOTK but it would be a good excuse to go back to BOTW.

How have they not made a Korok amiibo? You scan it once a day and it reveals the locations of an undiscovered Korok in the areas you have unlocked. Got them all? It gives you some rupees or something. I don’t know. I don’t care what it does really I just want a Korok for my desk.

I got a notification it shipped with my CE but it was not in the box with it. There is no option above for "hopefully get it if UK Nintendo Store can fix their mistake" which I grant sounds fairly specific but the Store doesn't seem too popular due to these sorts of mistakes.

...did I eck!

Sold out, innit.

Waiting on game + Amiibo to arrive today!! Woo-hoo!!

Edit: The Amiibo is GORGEOUS! Already one of my favorites. 🤩

Yes pre ordered it with the game. Both came yesterday 😊

I knew I was getting the Amiibo at launch, but I saw GameStop had the Twilight Princess Amiibo, and I couldn't pass it up. XD
Then I saw Target had the Wind Waker 2 Pack, so I also picked those up.
sigh I spend way too much money on Amiibos. XD

This is getting to be too much for one game. After $16 on an Amiibo, tax and then DLC, we're well beyond $100 for a game. Maybe if they bundled it with a discount code for the DLC. And this coming from someone with dozens of Amiibo statues.

@sabreman64 amiibo, especially more recent ones (think 2018 onward), actually have a great deal of quality to them. The comparison to the earlier figures is astounding; more variety in materials, more tasteful bases to hold up complicated character designs, more dynamic posing, better painting on smaller details such as facial features, more complicated and detailed molds, etc. For anyone wanting an inexpensive statue that doesn’t take up a huge chunk of space, amiibo are a better choice now then they’ve ever been.

I do agree that Mega Yarn Yoshi is awesome, though, haha. And I do agree that amiibo unlocks should be more than throwaway cosmetics. I love what the Shovel Knight amiibo unlocked in its home game — a custom moveset builder with unique abilities! That option was never offered outside of amiibo functionality, and it made for a very unique experience.

I want more totk amiibos PLEASE!!! A new version of princess Zelda, Ganondorf and loads more please please please

@sabreman64 there are some cheap looking amiibo but the newer ones are of very high quality. For those of us who like to have 3D figurines this is some of the best bang for the buck you can get not even counting nfc in game perks

If only it was available

I see there were a few responses to my post. It's really just my opinion. If you like amiibos and you want to buy them then fair enough. They're just not my cup of tea. And I stand by my comment that I think they should be used to unlock more substantial content - such as unlocking expansion passes.

I'm a big fan of the Zelda games. But figurines of the games' characters don't really appeal to me. I like to buy the games, books about the Zelda games, and Zelda soundtracks. If Lego were to produce Zelda sets (which is possible, as they're producing Mario and Donkey Kong sets), I would certainly buy them. But amiibo figures don't really interest me.

Yup, got mine yesterday. Already one of my favorite amiibo in my collection.

I pre-ordered it from Best Buy.
It shipped last night.
It'll be here Thursday

A very sore point this as it is now the only LoZ Amiibo I don't have. I originally preordered from Shopto for £19.99, then cancelled once preorder became available from Nintendo Store at £12.99 so placed order. In the meantime I had a new bank card issued so changed my card details on my Nintendo Store account. Not having a warm and fuzzy feeling, I opened a chat with a Nintendo Store agent to discuss if my preorder was ok. I was informed that I would need to cancel as they couldn't amend payment details. This wouldn't have been a problem except this Amiibo was now sold out. I didn't cancel my preorder but changed my payment details on my account back to my previous card as it wasn't due to expire until 14th May and I could still continue to use it providing I didn't start using my new card. 12th May finally arrived, I checked my order status whilst at work and noticed on my payment details of my preorder that my card expiry date had changed to 01/01. Thought I would wait until my break to contact Nintendo, however it was all too late. I received a dreaded email telling me that my order had been successfully cancelled. Absolutely gutted and annoyed that Nintendo Store UK couldn't do anything at all in this technological age.

I got it and also the 4 champions Amiibos from BOFW also give you glider cloth distint to each of them. I was disapointed though that when you scan the Wolf Amiibo you don't get a companion again, just a bunch of meat.

I only buy amiibos on clearance. They are too pricey for the little bit of content they unlock.

I ran out of space on my shelf and I'm not sacrificing one of the manga shelves to further fuel another harmful addiction

Somewhat interested in getting the TOTK amiibo, but it's sold out everywhere. I do have the Skyward Sword Zelda amiibo, though.

Waiting on delivery, thanks BestBuy for not sending it out sooner for pre-orders!

@sabreman64 I don’t see them ever locking an expansion pass behind an amiibo. People grumbled enough about the Zelda & Loftwing functionality in Skyward Sword.

@Ogbert That’s a good idea! I’d buy it.

@sabreman64 Even though I find it fun to have some amiibos to scan in some games (I did it a lot with BotW, the Hyrule Warriors and Bayo2), it's more for the collection of little souvenirs from all those lovely games. Like something you would bring back from a holiday to remember the good times. Sure it is expensive plastic .. still relatively reasonable (at the recommended price). Having to buy an amiibo for a dlc, that would be similar to what skylanders did in the days. Why not, but still leave the option to just by the dlc without the amiibo, they can be so hard to find ..

@Tipehtfomottob Nintendo store uk is absolutely appalling for customer service and the website is mot really fit for purpose. I ordered the game and amiibo together but was dispatched separately and now amiibo could be lost in transit.

@paburrows is it wolf meat?

Preordered it online from GameStop back in February. Order is still “processing.”

Yeah I got one.
But getting the Amiibo was the most difficult part. I was lucky on 1 day, when My Nintendo stopped offering it only to people on a wish list. After that day, it was over.
And i had no chance outside My Nintendo.
Getting the special pro controller was easier.
And i canceled the Collectors Edition. I thought it to be ridiculous, spending 150€ for that content. Just got the normal game.

I haven’t gotten it, but it’s one of the few amibos I’ve been tempted to get.

No, but it's awesome that the cosmetics (sans glider fabrics) can be found in-game now.

Yep, I have one.

I only had 2 Amiibos, a Tom Nook which I have no idea how I got and the wolf link one, which I bought because I liked it. And Twilight Princess is one of my favourite games.

Now I have 3. I am surprised at the detail and quality of the piece. Again, it's just because I like it.

seen some of the Tears of the Kingdom merchandise, and some of it looks quite good, especially stuff with Ganondorf.

But think they could have made Link look a bit more different in this game, arm aside. Maybe just some different clothing.

The amiibo ROM was dumped the day before it's release and available on the internet. I don't like the amiibo concept. Forcing to buy a figurine to get some bonuses... So I rely on a much less costly and unofficial way.

I ended up preordering 2. My friend who wants one is buying my second off me for msrp. Managed to order the Pro controller from Target at about 4am on Friday as well. Only thing I wasn’t able to get was the collector’s edition of the game

Here in Japan it is only sold at the official Nintendo Store so far. Yodabashi and Big Camera don’t have it yet.

Sitting at 90 € on Amazon ... so no, I did not get it :/
I got a selfmade amiibo coin though for basically free

Made it to TerraFirma and now will try that Amiibo and others to get the Glider Skins. Funny its about the Amiibo but people talke about NFC scans. Those are rip offs and doesn't pay the makers of those Amiibos. This is just like people buying from Scaplers the benefits doesn't go back to makers who make them for Nintendo. Remember that when you buy RFC scans as well as buying from Scalpers.

Nope, grabbed a Donkey Kong Amiibo that I was looking for though

A part of me wishes Nintendo would just release amiibo card packs of pre-existing amiibo, that way anyone who doesn't want to buy a bulky piece of plastic doesn't have to.
Until then, I'll just use TagMo to write this Link amiibo data to a tag.

I luckily didn't have any issues pre-ordering the new amiibo. I've already got all of the previous ones, however it was annoying having to save scum SO MUCH to get that Majora's Mask glider deisgn.

Worth it tho

@SwitchForce I see your point and agree re. NFC scan but it's pretty much impossible to find any Zelda amiibo out in the wild. It's scalpers or scans.

I'd happily purchase all those I don't have but Nintendo seem to refuse to create enough to satisfy demand.

They were out at GameStop when I picked up TOTK. Saw Best Buy had some. Ordered for store pickup. Picked up the next day. Then the next day stopped at Target just to look around and found the Toon Link/Zelda pack and picked it up. Picked up Samus/Emmi pack and Zelda/Loftwing pack at GameStop when they were $5. I only really want Zelda ones unless they are super cheap. Hopefully this isn’t the start of another addiction 😬

i was able to grab it and the twilight princess link so my amiibo collection is 100% complete save for box boy who didn't even release in the USA and is way to expensive online.

@KraniX If anything they will likely make more as they can keep selling. If they want the yens.
