Rumor Mill: More Zelda amiibo

amiibo: Mineru's Construct coming soon

This is coming from the same source as the recent 3D Zelda rumors, Nick "Spheshal" Baker. And he claims that Nintendo is going all-in with amiibo in 2026, where there will be more than what you would expect. This includes one for Luigi's Mansion, which could hint at Luigi's Mansion 4 coming out this year, but there are also "some Zelda ones".

Well, we already know of Mineru's Construct from Tears of the Kingdom, so that's definitely going to be a thing. And they could theoretically make more amiibo for that title, like Rauru, Sonia or Purah, but they have covered the most important ones with Zelda, Link, Ganondorf and the Sages.

An alternative would be another anniversary line, like what they had done for the 30th Anniversary ten years ago. This mainly covered different incarnations of Link, where they could focus more on Princess Zelda and other characters this time around. Here are some ideas:

  • Zelda (Ocarina of Time)
  • Ganondorf (Ocarina of Time)
  • Ganondorf (The Wind Waker)
  • Zelda (Twilight Princess)
  • Ganondorf (Twilight Princess)
  • Twili Midna (Twilight Princess)
  • Fi (Skyward Sword)
  • Link (A Link Between Worlds)
  • Ravio (A Link Between Worlds)
  • Zelda & Tri (Echoes of Wisdom)

If we're getting the Ocarina of Time remake that everyone is talking about, then amiibo for that game will make a lot of sense, where they could add a new feature to support them. For example, they could expand the lineup of masks, which give you different interactions, like the Goron, Zora and Gerudo Mask.

This could also be the perfect opportunity to deliver an amiibo for Echoes of Wisdom, where it's curious that this didn't happen back in 2024 already. And maybe they could even add some more costumes to the game that can be unlocked with them.

Tears of the Kingdom could also receive another update to support new amiibo with more Paraglider fabrics. It's a simple thing, really, but always a good excuse to boot up the game once more.
