General Notes for Fans:
- Compatibility: Most Zelda amiibo work across multiple games (BotW, TotK, Hyrule Warriors, Smash Ultimate, Echoes of Wisdom, Link’s Awakening Remake, Skyward Sword HD), usually providing materials, weapons, or cosmetic items relevant to the scanned character. Specific unique functions (like Wolf Link companion or SS fast travel) are often tied to one game.
- Availability: While some figures were initially rare or store-exclusives, Nintendo has done numerous restocks, especially coinciding with new game releases like Tears of the Kingdom and Echoes of Wisdom. Most should be findable at or near retail price with some patience, though checking multiple retailers (Nintendo Store, Best Buy, Target, GameStop, Amazon) is recommended.
- Amiibo Cards: Unofficial NFC cards containing amiibo data exist and provide the same in-game functionality as the figures. However, they lack the collectible figure aspect that appeals to many fans. Only official Animal Crossing and one Pokken Tournament amiibo were released in card form by Nintendo. Any Zelda cards are third-party.
