Calamity Ganon — Breath of the Wild

The Legend of Zelda
Cooldown: 24 hours (real time)

About This Amiibo

Calamity Ganon, the ancient malice-fueled form of Ganondorf from Breath of the Wild, depicted in his spider-like mechanical form wreathed in dark energy. This amiibo drops powerful dark materials and ancient components reflecting Ganon's corrupted ancient technology nature. No exclusive TotK armor piece but the raw material drops — particularly Giant Ancient Cores — are valuable for armor upgrades and fuse materials throughout the mid-to-late game.

How to Use This Amiibo

  1. Open the ability wheel and select the amiibo rune.
  2. Place the Calamity Ganon — Breath of the Wild figure (or NFC card) on the NFC reader on your controller.
  3. Items will spawn in a treasure chest and scattered on the ground nearby.
  4. The exclusive reward (None (powerful material drops)) appears in the chest. Common drops appear loose.
  5. Cooldown: 24 hours (real time) before you can scan again.

Tips & Strategy

The Calamity Ganon amiibo is the only amiibo with a chance at Savage Lynel Horns — one of the highest-damage fuse materials in the game (55 damage added to any weapon). Giant Ancient Cores are also possible and are needed for the Ancient Armor set upgrades. Scan daily without fail — these materials would otherwise require dangerous Lynel hunts in the Depths or late-game overworld.

Save-Scumming for Better Drops

  1. Save your game before scanning the amiibo.
  2. Scan the amiibo and check the chest.
  3. If you did not get the desired exclusive reward, reload your save.
  4. Scan again. Drops are re-rolled each time you load.
  5. Repeat until you get the None (powerful material drops).
