How to Use Amiibo in TotK
Open the amiibo rune from your ability wheel (unlocked early in the game). Hold the amiibo figure or card on top of the NFC reader on your controller (right joystick on Pro Controller, top of the right Joy-Con). Items will spawn in a chest and scattered nearby. Each amiibo can be scanned once every 24 hours. Save before scanning and reload to re-roll drops (save-scumming).

PRO TIP
Amiibo Farming
Save before scanning your amiibo, then reload if you don't get the drop you want. The exclusive armor pieces have roughly a 10% drop rate, so save-scumming is the most efficient way to collect them all. Scan at night for a small chance at Star Fragments too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which amiibo work with Tears of the Kingdom?
All Zelda series amiibo, Super Smash Bros. Zelda-character amiibo, and several special edition figures work with TotK. This includes Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Guardian, Bokoblin, Champion, and Wolf Link amiibo. Non-Zelda amiibo (like Mario or Animal Crossing) also work but only drop basic food and materials instead of exclusive armor pieces.
What do amiibo give you in Tears of the Kingdom?
Amiibo drop a variety of rewards including exclusive armor sets from previous Zelda games (Fierce Deity, Twilight, Hero of Time, Hero of Wind, and more), weapons, shields, gemstones, arrows, cooking ingredients, and rare materials like Star Fragments. Zelda series amiibo have a chance to drop exclusive armor pieces that cannot be obtained any other way.
How often can you scan amiibo in TotK?
Each amiibo can be scanned once every 24 hours in real time. The cooldown resets at midnight based on your Nintendo Switch system clock. You can scan multiple different amiibo in the same day — the cooldown is per-figure, not a global limit. Save before scanning and reload to re-roll drops if you do not get the item you want.
What are the best amiibo for Tears of the Kingdom?
The best amiibo depend on your goals. For exclusive armor: Twilight Princess Link (Twilight Set), Ocarina of Time Link (Hero of Time Set), Majora's Mask Link (Fierce Deity Set), and the TotK Ganondorf (Demon King Set). For combat companions: Wolf Link summons a wolf ally. For daily farming: any Zelda series amiibo provides food, arrows, gemstones, and a chance at Star Fragments when scanned at night.
Are amiibo required to complete Tears of the Kingdom?
No, amiibo are entirely optional in Tears of the Kingdom. All amiibo-exclusive armor sets are cosmetic alternatives — equivalent or better armor can be found through normal gameplay. No quests, shrines, or story content requires amiibo. They are a bonus for collectors that provide convenience items and unique cosmetic gear.
