 * This article is about the Rune ability in . For the Ancient Power in, see Amiibo (Ancient Power) or for the line of figures, see amiibo.

is a BotW: ability in. The BotW: enables compatible amiibo figures to be scanned into the game.

Location and Uses
Unlike other BotW:s, amiibo support is activated via the Options menu of the game and available shortly after obtaining the BotW:. The support can also be disabled at any time.

Ability
When activated, the amiibo BotW: allows for all available amiibo figures to be scanned into the game. A cursor appears in front of Link which can be moved to aim where the amiibo's effects will generate. At certain locations, the amiibo BotW: will be deactivated, such as when the landing point is obstructed by something above, in NaN Ancient Shrines, during the Eventide Island trial, or during the BotW:. Each amiibo figure can only be scanned once per day, with the exception of BotW:, which can be summoned indefinitely as long as it still has hearts remaining.

Overview
The majority of available amiibo will grant random items and NaN Materials. Most Zelda-related amiibo will drop both a BotW: and NaN Materials that drop from the sky, while some may also drop Crates and Barrels. The Treasure Chests may contain rare Gems, weapons and Armor, some of which are not otherwise available. Additionally, the series SSB: amiibo and  series -style TP: amiibo can summon BotW:, while the  series BotW: amiibo will exclusively summon BotW: into the game.

Some items, including exclusives, are only available depending on the game's progression and previous drops. Scanning one amiibo figure every day for 4 days and receiving drops from the "Normal chest" category each day will cause the scan to yield a drop from the "Rare chest" category on the 5th day. A few of the weaker weapons are also only available before leaving the BotW: for the first time. Items and probabilities under "A" will only happen before obtaining the BotW:. Items and probabilities under "B" will happen after obtaining the BotW: but before freeing the first BotW:. Items and probabilities under "C" will happen any time after freeing the first BotW:.
