Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Amiibos explained
Using Amiibo in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can reward you with a number of items or cosmetic enhancements. All you need to do is own one of the compatible figurines and scan it in-game to unlock your rewards. You can also use homemade amiibo cards, but there's no guarantee that they will work in the same way.
So far, we know that using any compatible Amiibo can unlock you one of these items:
- Materials
- Weapons
- Paraglider Fabric
We also have confirmation on the Paraglider designs that four of the compatible Amiibos will unlock for you.

During your journey, you will want to complete the Jiosin Shrine, Susuyai Shrine, Ishodag Shrine, Kiuyoyou Shrine, Oromuwak Shrine and Sinakawak Shrine. We also have guides on how to get to the sky, how to get the Archaic Tunic, how to beat the Flux Construct I, Amiibo unlocks and how to tame horses.
