Amiibo are collectible figures that bring Nintendo characters to life in your favorite games. In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, these figures interact with the NFC port on your Switch controller, allowing you to unlock special in-game items. This can include outfits, armor, and various resources that enhance your gaming experience.
When you tap an amiibo, you can expect to receive a variety of rewards. These may range from crafting materials like fish and mushrooms to unique outfits that help you stand out in Hyrule. The thrill of discovering what each amiibo can unlock adds an exciting layer to gameplay.
