by

Summary

  • Five new amiibo for Tears of the Kingdom are coming, focusing on the Sages of the game, to unlock in-game items.
  • Nintendo Switch 2 will offer upgrades for existing games like Tears of the Kingdom to utilize improved graphics.
  • Street Fighter is also getting amiibo to commemorate the release of Street Fighter 6 on the Switch 2.

Two years following its initial launch, “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” is set to introduce five fresh amiibo figures. These new additions were unveiled during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation, where they discussed the anticipated features of the upcoming console and enhancements planned for current Nintendo Switch games such as “Tears of the Kingdom.

True to our word, the Nintendo Switch 2 will play host to a multitude of Switch games in line with our promise. But we’re not stopping there! The Nintendo Switch 2 takes things up a notch by enhancing several existing games, enabling them to leverage the advanced graphical capabilities of the revamped system, and even incorporating fresh features into these titles. Fittingly, Tears of the Kingdom will receive an upgrade and will welcome new amiibo for support.

As a passionate fan, I’m thrilled to share that Nintendo has revealed that five new amiibo are coming for “Tears of the Kingdom”! These amiibo represent the sages who aid Link throughout his adventure: Tulin, Yunobo, Riju, Sidon, and Mineru. The first four will debut alongside the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 and its game upgrades on June 5. However, the design for Mineru, inspired by her construct form rather than her ancient past appearance, is scheduled to arrive at a later, as-yet-unspecified date.

What To Expect From New Tears of the Kingdom Amiibo

In the upcoming game “Tears of the Kingdom”, you can use an amiibo figure similar to its predecessors. Scanning this amiibo unlocks various in-game items like weapons, materials, and a fabric for Link’s paraglider. However, specific details about what each one will unlock are still unclear. As for the pricing, it hasn’t been disclosed yet, but given that the initial ones should be priced similarly to normal amiibos (around $20-$30 USD), the exceptional size of Mineru’s amiibo suggests it might cost a bit more.

Although Nintendo did not emphasize the amiibo functionality of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 during its announcement, they have confirmed that they will continue to manufacture and back these toys-to-life figures. In connection with the release of “Tears of the Kingdom” amiibo, Nintendo is also preparing Street Fighter amiibo to celebrate the debut of “Street Fighter 6” on the Switch 2. A total of three figurines and 22 cards will be launched for this fighter, all of which will hit the shelves on the same day as the Switch 2 launch. Given the popularity of amiibo in the past, it’s advisable for fans to pre-order if they want to guarantee getting their hands on these new additions from both series.
