Wolf Link amiibo |
Scanning the Wolf Link amiibo no longer spawns a Wolf Link ally in Tears of the Kingdom. Instead, you will receive plentiful meat that you can use to cook food with or fuse with weapons.
amiibo unrelated to The Legend of Zelda can also be scanned for random rewards, including both materials and basic weapons and equipment!
Use amiibo from the Zelda series to obtain exclusive Paraglider designs associated with the amiibo character! There are at least 25 unique designs that you can obtain from each amiibo.
Scanning the Super Smash Bros. Link or the Twilight Princess Link amiibo for the first time summons Epona, Link's trusty steed from the previous Zelda games. Note that Epona is considered as a wild horse, so be sure to scan the amiibo near a stable in order to register and keep her.
You have a chance of getting weapons when you scan any amiibo. However, scanning an amiibo from the Zelda series gives you a chance to obtain special amiibo weapons associated with the character. It should be noted that these amiibo weapons can also be found in various locations in the game.
Zelda series amiibo have a chance to drop special armor pieces and armor sets from previous Zelda games. For example, scanning the Majora's Mask Link amiibo may spawn a treasure chest that contains the Fierce Deity Mask. All of these armor pieces may also be found in various treasure chests in the game.
All amiibo, both from the Zelda series and otherwise, can drop various materials when scanned. These include ingredients for cooking such as fruits, mushrooms, herbs, and meat. Ore and other non-food materials may also be dropped.

How to Unlock amiibo Functionality |
---|
Press the Plus (+) Button to pause the game and the R-Button to access the System Menu.
On the Options Menu, click "amiibo disabled" and change it to "Use amiibo".
Ukouh Shrine Map Location | Ukouh Shrine Trial Start |
---|---|
You will gain access to the amiibo functionality in the Ability Wheel once you have completed the Ukouh Shrine at the Great Sky Islands as part of The Closed Door main quest.
The Ukouh Shrine coordinates are 0274, -0914, 1460.
While in-game, press and hold the L-Button to open the ability wheel and select amiibo on the lower left corner.
A glowing white circle will appear in-game, indicating where the amiibo reward will appear once you scan the amiibo.
Tap the amiibo on top of the right analog stick of the Right Joy-Con to scan it. If you are using a Pro Controller, tap the amiibo at the NFC Touchpoint below the Nintendo Switch's logo.
Right Joy-Con | Pro Controller |

The items you get from each amiibo's treasure chest are completely random and there is no way to increase the drop rate. If you did not obtain the exclusive amiibo item, you will need to change the Switch's system time to scan the same amiibo to try again.
If you have scanned a single Amiibo repeatedly and still have not found the equipment you are looking for, chances are that you have not progressed far enough in the game to unlock the amiibo's loot pool.
Make sure to progress through the game and obtain the Paraglider in order to increase the rewards you get from scanning amiibo.
Each Amiibo can only be scanned once per day, so you will need to change your Switch's system time to keep farming for the Amiibo equipment.
If you plan to scan repeatedly to farm amiibo-exclusive equipment, you should first save the game, so you can quickly reload if you don't get the equipment you wanted.
Amiibos in general can be bought at the My Nintendo Store. As the Link amiibo in Tears of the Kingdom was announced, it became sold out pretty quickly. It doesn't hurt to try and check back every now and then to see if stocks are up and available to purchase.
Same case with the My Nintendo Store, sites like Target, Best Buy, and GameStop offer amiibos as well.
Link's amiibo in Tears of the Kingdom seems to get sold out pretty quickly, you can instead pre-order the amiibo.
