Link (Rider) — Special Edition BotW
About This Amiibo
The special edition variant of the Breath of the Wild Link (Rider) amiibo, released as part of the BotW collector bundle. Functionally equivalent to the standard version — same drop pool including Trousers of the Wild and horse-themed materials. If you own both versions, only one scan per 24-hour period is registered per figure type — owning duplicates does not double rewards. Valuable primarily as a collector's piece for BotW fans who purchased the limited bundle.

How to Use This Amiibo

- Place the Link (Rider) — Special Edition BotW figure (or NFC card) on the NFC reader on your controller.
- Items will spawn in a treasure chest and scattered on the ground nearby.
- The exclusive reward (Trousers of the Wild (alternate drop path)) appears in the chest. Common drops appear loose.
- Cooldown: 24 hours (real time) before you can scan again.
Tips & Strategy
This special edition variant is functionally identical to the standard Rider Link amiibo — same drop pool, same exclusive (Trousers of the Wild). One key rule: TotK registers amiibo by figure type, not individual copy, so owning two Rider Link figures does not grant two scans per day. Only one Rider Link scan is possible per 24-hour period regardless of how many copies you own.
Save-Scumming for Better Drops
- Save your game before scanning the amiibo.
- Scan the amiibo and check the chest.
- If you did not get the desired exclusive reward, reload your save.
- Scan again. Drops are re-rolled each time you load.
- Repeat until you get the Trousers of the Wild (alternate drop path).
