Highlights

As a seasoned gamer with decades of Zelda adventures under my belt, I must say that the inclusion of Amiibo functionality in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has me truly excited! From my early days with the original NES Zelda to my latest conquest in Breath of the Wild, I’ve always appreciated Nintendo’s dedication to enhancing their games through unique collectibles.

The latest game in the popular “Zelda” series, titled “The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom“, has confirmed its compatibility with Nintendo’s Amiibo figures, explaining what these toys can do within the game. As a new addition to the beloved Nintendo franchise, “The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom” is unique in that it makes Princess Zelda the main playable character.

Information about “Echoes of Wisdom,” set to release in September, has been trickling out to fans prior to its debut. One detail that was clarified early on is the game’s compatibility with Amiibos. These are collectible figurines made by Nintendo, initially launched in 2014. By tapping these figures onto their console, players can trigger various effects. In the “Zelda” series, this often results in new equipment or weapons for the player, and “Echoes of Wisdom” follows suit.

Information about how Amiibo figures interact with the game Echoes of Wisdom was shared on the official Japanese site for this title, translated by Nintendo Life. This translation suggests that Amiibos will provide Zelda in Echoes of Wisdom with helpful items and various clothing options in different colors. The list of compatible Amiibo figures was also revealed, encompassing every single Legend of Zelda Amiibo ever released thus far, such as those from Super Smash Bros., along with the limited-edition ones from other games like Majora’s Mask and Twilight Princess.

The “Traversing Hyrule” trailer confirmed that Zelda will be able to wear different outfits in the game, though it only showed three so far: the traditional princess look, the cloak she wears in most preview footage, and a Gerudo outfit. The Amiibos will give Zelda new colors of clothing, which can add some diversity to the various clothing options present in Echoes of Wisdom. It’s very likely that after scanning the Amiibos, the color palettes provided will be based on the figure itself. For example, scanning the Breath of the Wild Princess Zelda Amiibo might give players the colors that match her light blue tunic.

Due to the fact that the game Echoes of Wisdom incorporates Amiibo functionality, some enthusiasts may lack the essential figures needed to unveil a specific item or their preferred color scheme. However, sharp-eyed fans have observed that Nintendo seems to have been replenishing Amiibos prior to the game’s debut, particularly the Wind Waker Zelda and Link’s Awakening Link Amiibos. These newly restocked Amiibos can be obtained from retailers such as Best Buy and will be available on September 26, 2024, concurrently with the release of Echoes of Wisdom.
