More Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom amiibo Are On The Way

TotK DLC? No, but we have these amiibo. Please understand.

Huh…cool. Wonder what they do?

This also means First 4 Figures is likely making new statues. Sigh...my bank account does not like this. Will get both. Amiibo keep my Link well stocked.

Nintendo had me convinced this was a DLC announcement.

Such a disappointing direct.

Holiday is Christmas right? Why even bother to announce...

i want the zelda one!!! ganondorf is cool, but, alas, he will be taken up by all of the people currently in love with him lol

Definitely buying both of these.

Dang no amiibo for Sidon, Tulin, Yunobo and Riju then?

@Greatluigi
Based on datamines, they give unique fabrics. In-game there are a Zelda and Ganondorf paraglider that are currently inaccessible, and someone has already engineered NFC tags to act as these two amiibo, and that unlocks them.

These figures look beautiful. Definitely will be snagging these

@nukatha oh ok.
(ChaoticNeutral will not like this)

@Breeze23
No sign of them.
Recall BotW launch March 2017, and the Champion amiibo followed in November.
These two are probably November of this year, roughly the same timeline.

Also, Nintendo went crazy with amiibo for BotW, while there are only 3 for TotK. I think the market has shrunk considerably over the years.

@Breeze23 Hopefully later

I was afraid that they were going to announce DLC, so I'm really happy about these (even though I REALLY don't need any more bloody Zelda amiibo; I already scan all 26 of them on any day that I play BOTW or TOTK ).

Zelda looks beautiful and elegant when compared with her rather plain BOTW counterpart. And as for Ganondorf... oh, my. I wasn't expecting him to get an amiibo.

Here's hoping that they drop some decent items this time around as the TOTK Link amiibo is bloody useless.

@TheExile285 @nukatha Definitely gonna be keeping my fingers crossed! Hopefully there will be reprints of the original champion amiibo so I can finally snag them

To early to announce DLC imo. I'm sure something will come. There's enough in the game already without DLC.

@Sisilly_G
Unless the game gets an update, they'll be just like Skyward Sword Zelda and TotK Link: Just a paraglider/random item in a chest.

I love the design of Zelda in this game, my favourite after Skyward Sword. I'm sure a few people are salty that the TotK announcement was for amiibo and not DLC but honestly, do we need the game to be any bigger than it already is? I'll still be playing it up until Mario Wonder being released so I simply don't need an expansion.

Ganondaddy 🤨 some people shouldn't have access to the internet

Another Zelda Amiibo?! Yes, please and thanks!

Man I'm so shook right now - some idiot in the youtube direct chat spoiled the ending of ToTK. Argh!

@Ooccoo_Jr : And considering how little the BOTW expansion brought to the table, I'd rather they leave TOTK as it is. In any case, I won't buy any expansions this time around unless Nintendo issue a complete physical release like they did with BOTW in Japan (which I ended up importing).

It seems we're not allowed to be content in buying complete games anymore. Ugh.

I've already poured 120+ hours into TOTK and I got more than my money's worth. There are still a bunch of (what I suspect are) early game missions that I have yet to complete, so, it seems that there's still quite a bit of work to be done yet.

A normal company would release these when the game released, or announce dlc. This is so Nintendo. It's a long game but pretty sure most people will be done by the holidays.

I already gave my way cool Ganon amiibo from Smash, don't really need another anyway. And they should BOTH unlock whatever.😝

So happy !!! I wouldn’t mind even more TotK amiibos but those two were at the very top of my wishlist!

Too soon for DLC, so glad there was nothing announced.

They look pretty cool. Finally a Ganondorf amiibo that isn't just the Smash Bros one, too. Took them long enough!

I wouldn't be surprised if they announce DLC when this game wins Game of the Year this november. I personally think i will absolutely be picking up that zelda amiibo as my first one, looks stunning

A bit surprised no DLC was announced guessing they might be waiting until next year. I don't normally collect amiibos but these look great.

Bee on the lookup for these TOTK Amiibos as well. Currently up to date with all Amiibos besides a few from Monster Hunter Stories that were only released in JPN.

They'll announce the dlc later in the year to not spoil the story.

Also expecting Hyrule Warriors: The Imprisoning War next year.

@Laserbeak1982 Definitely not too early. The game desperately needs a harder difficulty to make searching for everything worth it. Admittedly, Soulsborne has ruined final bosses in every other game from me, but I want Ganondorf to make me see the game over screen several times even with the best equipment.

BotW’s Master Mode had some real problems (enemy sponges, health regen that happened way too fast), but it really made the game’s resources necessary in full in order to beat Calamity Ganon.

The current difficulty is fine for the casual audience, but I want something that challenges me even with every heart, fully upgraded armor, and the best weapons.

@blindsquarel have you even finished the game?

@Nassov
Yep, beat it yesterday. All Lightroots, shrines, and notable sidequest.

Only helpful items and paraglider designs? The amiibo use in this game leaves so much to be desired, with how big of a game it is, it would be cool to also customize the Zonai parts with those designs.

The game definitely needs DLC because I'm at 90 hours in and could easily spend another 75 ish hours of pure enjoyment but I will scream if Nintendo doesn't release MOAR content into this already wildly rich and deep game. I'm also still mad that Nintendo didn't give me more with Animal Crossing New Horizons. I spent $50 on that game and only got 700 hours of entertainment out of it. Typical Nintendo.

@nukatha DLC will certainly be announced later in the fall/winter, as we get closer to the amiibo launch.

This is what the media insiders were predicting. Weeks ago Zelda Podcast insisted we'd get Zelda and Ganondorf amiibo first, with a summer announcement, and DLC would be announced for the following year as we approached the amiibo launch in the fall/winter. It's clearly following whatever inside report they got their hands on.

I'm sure the amiibo will be sort of like a Wave 0 DLC --- providing something new to the game in the same way that the Champions' amiibo all provided the Divine Beast Ancient Helms as a new add-on to Breath of the Wild. But don't worry, I'm CERTAIN they're going to get DLC for this game too.

It's crazy how people are furious when there's Day 1 DLC saying they're getting core-game content locked behind microtransactions, and then when instead DLC is developed AFTER release of the game and takes 6 months or more to come out, people are furious it wasn't announced/dropped at launch of the game.

Look at Pokémon DLC — both Sword and Shield and Scarlet and Violet get their DLC a whole year later. Age of Calamity's DLC came nearly a year later too. This is a much healthier way of supporting a game and giving it a longer life. I'm sure you haven't 100% the game yet. So why whine and not just go play it and enjoy?

@nukatha regarding the datamine, that's one of the things they give, surely yes. But all other amiibo give at least 1 or more special clothing items or weapons or shields or bows. And they might have other functions a la the Wolf Link amiibo in Breath of the Wild, or the Ganondorf amiibo in Twilight Princess HD. We just don't know what they're planning. But yeah, the paraglider fabrics are a solid guess for PART of what they unlock.

I do appreciate that the game allows you to get everything except the paraglider fabrics in the core game play without needing to have bought the amiibo. But the amiibo if you have them can be a useful and powerful tool for playing the game!

@marandahir
I wish that were true. I have Skyward Sword Zelda, and the only unique item from her is the fabric.
Also, other amiibo were nerfed significantly. 8-Bit Link generates barrels with Rupees in BotW, and Link's Awakening (while lacking unique items in BotW) drops fish instead of barrels. In TotK, both just are barrels that generally have apples and arrows.

I don't buy amiibos but the thirst is real. I want Ganondaddy.

Guessing after the hype from the first picture of Ganonbuff they thought, damn we gotta capitalise on this

@nukatha Link's Awakening drops barrels for me.

@marandahir
In TotK, yes. In BotW, he drops fish.

I really like the Zelda one. I have a bunch of amiibo stuffed away in my drawer though, so havent bought any in a long time. Might have to get this one for my workdesk perhaps. Hmm
