amiibo is a line of near field communication devices available for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U systems. They are figures or cards of Nintendo characters, as well as third-party characters that have appeared in Super Smash Bros. games. amiibo are scanned by tapping them on the Wii U GamePad, New Nintendo 3DS touch screen, or on the NFC reader/writer for the Nintendo 3DS.

amiibo are divided into different series, based on the game or game series that particular figure or card is associated with. The same character can appear in different amiibo series, but functions the same in almost all games. amiibo cards have also been released, but so far only those based on Template:Ac.

Generic Support

These are non-The Legend of Zelda series games that support all amiibo, but do not have non-generic support for any The Legend of Zelda character amiibo.

Functionality

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, scanning a compatible amiibo (which all Super Smash Bros. series amiibo are) puts the scanned character in the game as a Figure Player. A Figure Player is an AI opponent that can be trained, leveled up, and customized in order to be used in battles against other players and Figure Players.

amiibo functionality was added to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS in the Version 1.0.5 patch, which was released on February 10, 2015 worldwide; Super Smash Bros. for Wii U had amiibo functionality at launch.

Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends

File:HW Link Ancient Spinner Artwork.png

In Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends, scanning an amiibo gives the player an amiibo reward the first time it is scanned each day, with some amiibo for The Legend of Zelda characters giving special rewards. Up to five amiibo rewards can be obtained each day. A Medal is achieved after receiving 100 amiibo rewards. amiibo functionality was added to Hyrule Warriors in the Version 1.4.0 patch, which was released on November 27, 2014 worldwide; Hyrule Warriors Legends has amiibo functionality from launch.

Scanning a Link or Toon Link amiibo unlocks the Spinner if it is not already unlocked. Otherwise, scanning a Link or Toon Link amiibo yields a random third tier weapon for Link rated 3 stars or higher. Link and Toon Link can both yield amiibo rewards the same day. In Hyrule Warriors Legends, it is not required to scan either amiibo to obtain the Spinner as it is available from the start.[13]

Scanning a Zelda, Ganondorf or Sheik amiibo yields a random third tier weapon for the scanned character rated 3 stars or higher. Zelda and Sheik can both yield amiibo rewards the same day. If the third tier is not unlocked for that character, scanning these amiibo can yield a third tier weapon for any character.

In Hyrule Warriors Legends, scanning the Wolf Link amiibo yields a random Shackle for Midna or, provided that she is unlocked, a random Mirror for Twili Midna.[14] In Hyrule Warriors, scanning the Wolf Link amiibo will act the same as scanning any other non-specifically supported amiibo.

Scanning any other amiibo rewards the player with a random weapon rated 3 stars or lower, a random Material, or a random amount of Rupees.

Mario Kart 8

In Mario Kart 8, scanning a Link or Toon Link amiibo unlocks the Link Racing Suit for Mii characters.

amiibo functionality was added in the Version 3.0 patch, which was released on November 13, 2014 worldwide.

One Piece: Super Grand Battle! X

Link costume for Zoro

In One Piece: Super Grand Battle! X, scanning a Link amiibo unlocks a Link costume for Zoro. This same effect cannot be achieved with a Toon Link or Wolf Link amiibo.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy +

In Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy +, scanning a Link, Toon Link, Zelda, or Sheik amiibo unlocks a special character-themed plane. Scanning Link or Toon Link unlocks the F-14D "Link"; scanning Zelda or Sheik unlocks the F-15SE "Zelda".

Yoshi's Woolly World

Promotional image for amiibo compatibility

In Yoshi's Woolly World, scanning a specifically compatible amiibo other than Yoshi (which all Super Smash Bros. series The Legend of Zelda character amiibo are) unlocks a pattern for Yoshi based on that character. Although the game treats Link Yoshi and Toon Link Yoshi as different patterns, they look identical.

Scanning a non-specifically compatible amiibo (which Wolf Link is) will unlock a generic amiibo pattern for Yoshi.

Super Mario Maker

In Super Mario Maker, scanning a compatible amiibo creates a Mystery Mushroom that grants Mario the appropriate 8-bit costume of the scanned character. It is also possible to unlock these costumes without scanning an amiibo through the 100 Mario Challenge, and some costumes must be unlocked this way. In addition to these, there are also special costumes that are only unlocked by completing Event Courses, which are official courses released by Nintendo. Each costume transforms Mario into the likeness of that character. While the costumes still share Mario's innate abilities and limitations, each costume now makes a special pose by pressing up on the Control Stick or Control Pad, and plays unique tunes when Mario acquires the costume, reaches the Goal Pole, or loses a life.[15][16][17] There exist costumes of Link, Zelda, Sheik, Toon Link, Ganondorf, as well as Tingle, Totem Link (based on the Links from Tri Force Heroes), Wolf Link, and Tetra.

The Link costume allows Mario to hold the Triforce aloft by pressing up on the Control Stick or Control Pad. Running while wearing the costume and quickly turning around will result in the Link costume to stab outward with his Sword. Its associated jingles are from the original The Legend of Zelda: the item obtainment tune will play when the costume is first obtained, the Triforce Piece obtainment tune will play when the goal pole is reached, and the music from when Link is defeated in the Japanese version of the game will play when Mario loses a life.

The Zelda costume allows Mario to temporarily transform into Sheik by pressing up. Its associated jingles are from A Link to the Past: the item obtainment tune will play when the costume is first obtained, the introduction to "Zelda's Lullaby" will play when the goal pole is reached, and the music from when Link is defeated will play when Mario loses a life.

The Sheik costume allows Mario to temporarily transform into Zelda by pressing up. Its associated jingles are from Ocarina of Time: the item obtainment tune will play when the costume is first obtained, the music from when Link first meets Zelda will play when the goal pole is reached, and the music from when Link first meets Sheik will play when Mario loses a life.

The Toon Link costume allows Mario to pull out the Deku Leaf when jumping. Its associated jingles are from The Wind Waker: the item obtainment tune will play when the costume is first obtained, the music from when Link completes the Boating Course will play when the goal pole is reached, and the music from when Link is thrown into a cell in the Forsaken Fortress will play when Mario loses a life.

The Ganondorf costume's associated jingles are from A Link to the Past: the music from when Ganon leaves Agahnim's body will play when the costume is first obtained, the introduction to Ganon's theme will play when the goal pole is reached, and the music from when a boss is defeated will play when Mario loses a life.

The Tingle costume can only be unlocked through the 100 Mario Challenge. It allows Mario to strike a pose by pressing up. Its associated jingles are from various games: the "Kooloo-Limpah" jingle will play when the costume is first obtained, the music from when Link rescues Epona from Lon Lon Ranch in Ocarina of Time will play when the goal pole is reached, and the event failure tune from Majora's Mask will play when Mario loses a life.

The Totem Link costume is based on the three Links from Tri Force Heroes forming a Totem, featuring Blue on the bottom, Red in the middle, and Green on top. It can only be unlocked by clearing the Tri Force Heroes Event Course. The Totem Link costume allows Mario to pose with the Sword, Boomerang, and Bow by pressing up. Its associated jingles include 8-bit versions of the item obtainment jingle and the introduction of the Tri Force Heroes main theme.[18]

The Wolf Link costume allows Mario to pose asleep with Midna laughing by pressing up. Jumping while wearing the costume will result in a bark. Its associated jingles are from Twilight Princess: the Tear of Light obtainment tune will play when the costume is unlocked, Wolf Link's howl will play when the costume is first obtained, the seize fanfare will play when the goal pole is reached, and the music when Link fails in the Rollgoal minigame will play when Mario loses a life.[19] The Wolf Link costume can be unlocked by scanning its amiibo, or by clearing the Twilight Princess HD Event Course.

The Tetra costume can be unlocked through the 100 Mario Challenge in Normal or higher difficulty. It allows Mario transform into Zelda by pressing up on the Control Stick or Control Pad. Its associated jingles are from The Wind Waker: the item obtainment tune will play when the costume is first obtained, the music from when Link completes the Boating Course will play when the goal pole is reached, and the music from when Link is thrown into a cell in the Forsaken Fortress will play when Mario loses a life.[20]

Picross 3D: Round 2

The Link puzzle

In Picross 3D: Round 2, scanning a Link or Toon Link amiibo will unlock a puzzle of Link riding Epona from Ocarina of Time 3D.

Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash

In Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash, scanning any amiibo except Chibi-Robo will give the player coins.[21] Additionally, if thy player scans a specifically compatible amiibo other than Chibi-Robo (which all Super Smash Bros. series The Legend of Zelda character amiibo are), they will unlock a figure for the Toy Capsule Machine in the same pose as the scanned character.

New Style Boutique 2: Fashion Forward

In New Style Boutique 2: Fashion Forward, scanning a specifically compatible amiibo will unlock a piece of clothing based on that scanned character. In the European and Australian releases only, Zelda and Sheik are included in the specifically compatible amiibo.

Scanning a Zelda amiibo unlocks the Princess Tiara, which is based on Princess Zelda's tiara.[22] Scanning a Sheik amiibo unlocks the Sheikah Scarf, a scarf bearing the Sheikah symbol.[23] If the associated item is already unlocked, they act like a non-specifically compatible amiibo.

Scanning an amiibo that is not specifically compatible gives the player a Star Hair Clip of one of five possible colors (yellow, pink, blue, green, silver). This includes all The Legend of Zelda character amiibo in the Japanese release, and all The Legend of Zelda character amiibo except Zelda and Sheik in the European and Australian releases.

Twilight Princess HD

Promotional art of the Wolf Link amiibo from Twilight Princess HD

In Twilight Princess HD, the Wolf Link amiibo, along with the Super Smash Bros. series of Zelda amiibo, are all compatible. amiibo can be scanned on the collection screen once light has been restored to the Faron Province.[24]

Scanning the Wolf Link amiibo transports Link to the Cave of Shadows dungeon. It can also save a checkpoint of the number of remaining Hearts Link has preserved upon completing a section of the cave, which scanning again while in the cave will restore Link's health to that amount saved. Scanning the Link or Toon Link amiibo will replenish Arrows, while scanning the Zelda or Sheik amiibo will restore Link's Hearts. Scanning Ganondorf's amiibo allows Link to take twice as much damage, and will turn his red Heart gauge blue to signify the change.[25] If used while in Hero Mode, the amiibo will quadruple the damage taken. Aside from the Wolf Link amiibo, all amiibo can only be scanned once per day. Scanning Ganondorf's amiibo a second time states that the damage has already been doubled.[26]

The Wolf Link amiibo is also able to save data, which can then be transferred over to Breath of the Wild. The enables players to have wolf Link as a travel companion in that game, the amount of hearts Link has in Twilight Princess has when the Cave of Shadows is beaten will be given to the Wolf Link companion in Breath of the Wild.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

In Kirby: Planet Robobot, compatible amiibo can be scanned to instantly give Kirby an associated Copy Ability, with a limit of 10 per stage.

  • Scanning the Link amiibo gives Kirby the Sword Copy Ability.
  • Scanning the Toon Link amiibo gives Kirby the Cutter Copy Ability.
  • Scanning the Zelda amiibo gives Kirby the Mirror Copy Ability.
  • Scanning the Sheik amiibo gives Kirby the Ninja Copy Ability.
  • Scanning the Ganondorf amiibo gives Kirby the Poison Copy Ability.

Scanning an amiibo that is not specifically compatible, such as the Wolf Link amiibo, gives the player a random Copy Ability.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

As announced during November 2015's Nintendo Direct, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Wii U and NX will be compatible with the Wolf Link amiibo. Upon scanning the amiibo, Wolf Link himself will appear in the game to join Link as a companion. The amount of hearts Wolf Link has will be based off of the amount of hearts included in save data from Twilight Princess HD. Once Wolf Link loses all his hearts, he will vanish and cannot be scanned back into the game until the following real world day. While Wolf Link is in games, he will help Link in combat and hunt down animals such as wild boar. Link can also whistle to call the wolf back if he wanders too far.

There will also be three new amiibo created specifically for Breath of the Wild: Archer Link (based on artwork of Link wielding his bow), Rider Link (based on artwork of Link riding Epona), and a Guardian. It is unknown how these amiibo will work.
