As expectation mounts of an Ocarina of Time Switch 2<\/a> remake later this year, Nintendo has announced the release date of a new Legend of Zelda amiibo, due to arrive on September 17, priced $34.99.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

More than three years on from Tears of the Kingdom’s arrival, Nintendo is finally set to release the Mineru’s Construct amiibo, featuring the ancient robot which aids Link within the game. <\/p>\n

Why now? It’s a good question. Sure, Mineru’s Construct has since featured more recently in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and Tears of the Kingdom itself launched again for Switch 2 last year. But there’s little else from Nintendo on why the figurine is set to launch later this year \u2014 a time fans expect to hear more from the company on the franchise’s future.<\/p>\n

Nintendo is yet to properly acknowledge The Legend of Zelda’s 40th anniversary this year (the actual date passed back in February without fanfare) but there’s an expectation this will all change towards the end of 2026, with updates on the live-action The Legend of Zelda movie<\/a> and the leaked Ocarina of Time Switch 2 remake expected to release before Christmas<\/a>. A fresh Zelda amiibo in the run-up to that, or perhaps as part of the celebrations, makes sense.<\/p>\n

For now, we know that the Mineru’s Sage amiibo features a detailed design \u2014 reflected in its hefty pricetag \u2014 with articulated arms you can move and pose (this sounds similar to Breath of the Wild’s Guardian amiibo).<\/p>\n

Scanning the figurine with your Switch or Switch 2 console lets you receive random items in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. There’s also a unique glider fabric in Tears of the Kingdom which this amiibo can unlock.<\/p>\n
