Amiibo (Rune): Difference between revisions

{{Term/Store|amiibo||Series, BotW}} is a [[Rune]] ability in {{BotW}}.<ref>{{Cite|amiibo|N/A|BotW}}</ref> The Rune enables compatible [[amiibo]] figures to be scanned into the game.

Unlike other [[Rune]]s, amiibo support is activated via the Options menu of the game and available shortly after obtaining the [[Sheikah Slate]].<ref>{{Cite|You can now use the amiibo rune with the Sheikah Slate. You can change this setting on the Options menu at any time.|N/A|BotW}}</ref> The support can also be disabled at any time.

When activated, the amiibo Rune 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 Rune will be deactivated, such as when the landing point is obstructed by something above, in [[Ancient Shrine]]s or during the [[Eventide Island]] trial. Each amiibo figure can only be scanned once per day, with the exception of [[Wolf Link]], which can be summoned indefinitely as long as it still has hearts remaining.

The majority of available amiibo will grant random items and [[Material]]s. Most ''Zelda''-related amiibo will drop both a [[Treasure Chest]] and Materials that drop from the sky, while some may also drop [[Crate]]s and [[Barrel]]s. The Treasure Chests may contain rare Gems, weapons and Armor, some of which are not otherwise available. Additionally, the {{SSB|-}} series Link amiibo and ''The Legend of Zelda'' series {{TP|-}}-style Link amiibo will summon [[Epona]] (if she hasn't been summoned already), while the ''The Legend of Zelda'' series [[Wolf Link]] amiibo will exclusively summon Wolf Link into the game.

Some items, including exclusives, are only available depending on the game's progression. A few of the weaker weapons are also only available before leaving the [[Great Plateau]] for the first time.<ref name="Reddit amiibo Guide">https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/5y3r8o/spoilers_updated_breath_of_the_wild_amiibo_item/ {{BotW|-}} amiibo Item Guide</ref> Items and probabilities under "A" will only happen before obtaining the [[Paraglider]]. Items and proabilities under "B" will happen after obtaining the Paraglider but before freeing the first [[Champion]]. Items and probabilities under "C" will happen any time after freeing the first Champion.
