This is a guide to amiibo compatibility, and support in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity for the Nintendo Switch. Read on to learn the game's amiibo functionality and see what rewards you can get from scanning them!

Does Age of Calamity Support amiibo?

Compatible With All amiibos

All amiibos, including non-Zelda themed amiibo, can be used to claim rewards in the game. Each amiibo can only be scanned once and total of five amiibos can be scanned once per day.

How to Scan amiibos

1	Select amiibo on the Title Screen
2	Tap the amiibo on the NFC Touchpoint to scan it
3	Collect rewards

Select amiibo on the Title Screen

On the title screen, select amiibo to start scanning.

Tap the amiibo on the NFC Touchpoint

On this screen, tap the amiibo on the NFC Touchpoint. If you are using Joy-Con controllers, you can tap it on the right Joy-Con controller.

After successfully scanning an amiibo, you'll receive either a weapon or an assortment of materials.

amiibo Rewards

Random Weapons and Materials

You can receive random weapons or materials from scanning amiibos.

Note that unlike Breath of the Wild, where Zelda-themed amiibos would occasionally drop exclusive weapons or armor, amiibos in Age of Calamity do not have exclusive weapons or outfits associated with scanning them. However, since the materials and weapons are useful for both weapon fusing and Quests, it's a good idea to scan five daily to farm them!

Be sure to collect the rewards before exiting

If you close the game after scanning and before playing, and then the date you were playing changes, you will receive a prompt reminder that the rewards have not yet collected from the previous scan. Select Yes to keep all the rewards received.

After collecting your new gear, you can return to the menu screen and scan again!

What Are amiibos Used For?

Farm for Rupees

You can collect scanned weapons and materials from amiibos and sell them for easy money. If you have reached the five amiibo daily limit, you can change the date to continue scanning for materials and weapons.
