Hey everyone! Today, we're diving deep into the world of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, specifically looking at amiibo! If you're anything like me, you love a good treasure hunt and unlocking cool in-game goodies. Amiibo figures are a fantastic way to spice up your Breath of the Wild adventure, and we're going to break down every single one of them. We'll look at what each amiibo offers, how to use them, and why they're worth collecting. So grab your Sheikah Slate, and let's get started, shall we?

What are Amiibo, Anyway?

Alright, so for those of you who might be new to this, what exactly are amiibo? Think of them as physical figurines – collectible toys, basically – that have NFC (Near Field Communication) chips embedded in them. You place these figures on your Nintendo Switch (or Wii U, if you're playing on that) and bam! You get special in-game rewards. These rewards can range from weapons and armor to food and even unique items that can’t be found anywhere else in the game. It's like a little present every time you tap one. And hey, let's be honest, who doesn't love getting free stuff? The amiibo themselves are pretty cool, too. They’re beautifully designed and often feature iconic characters from the Zelda series, making them great display pieces for any fan. They're a win-win: cool in-game stuff and awesome collectibles. Plus, using amiibo is super easy. You just tap the figure on the right spot (usually the right Joy-Con or the Switch itself) and watch the magic happen. Some amiibo can be used once a day, others have a slightly different cooldown, but it’s always worth checking, because you never know what treasures await! Trust me, it’s a fun little ritual that adds an extra layer of excitement to your gameplay. So, let’s go through each amiibo and what they offer in Breath of the Wild.

The Zelda Series Amiibo

Let’s start with the heart of the matter: the Zelda series amiibo! These figures are dedicated to the main characters and their different forms throughout the Zelda franchise. They're some of the most sought-after and rewarding amiibo to use in Breath of the Wild, offering a variety of useful items. These are the big hitters, the ones you absolutely want to get your hands on if you’re serious about the game. They usually drop some of the most valuable items, so let's check them out.

Link (Archer)

This amiibo is based on Link's appearance in Breath of the Wild. Tapping it can give you some arrows, and it has a chance to drop the Twilight Bow, which is one of the best bows in the game. The Twilight Bow is a legendary weapon that shoots arrows with incredible range. It's a must-have for any serious adventurer. The amount of arrows depends on your game's progress, but there is always the potential for a really nice drop.

Link (Rider)

Based on Link's appearance on horseback. Using this amiibo can give you food, and sometimes a horse with special stats. It's really cool to have unique horses, so this is a real treat! Even without the horses, the food items are super handy for those long journeys across Hyrule. This amiibo is great for early game players, who want to have more options.

Link (Ocarina of Time)

This amiibo gives you a chance to get the Sword of the Six Sages, which is a pretty cool sword to use. Plus, it usually drops some other useful items. Any fan of Ocarina of Time will appreciate this one, and it is a super useful sword. It's an excellent addition to your arsenal.

Link (Majora's Mask)

This one is based on the darker, more mysterious game. You get some random items and the Majora's Mask, which is a special piece of armor that lets you blend in with certain enemies. This is perfect for those who enjoy stealth gameplay, or just want to mess around in the game.

Link (Skyward Sword)

This figure gives you a chance to get the Skyward Sword, and other useful items. The sword is a very cool item. It's a nice nod to the game Skyward Sword.

Zelda (Breath of the Wild)

This figure, based on Zelda’s design in Breath of the Wild, usually gives you some shields and sometimes the Hylian Shield, which is one of the best shields in the game. The Hylian Shield is nearly indestructible, so it's a huge help in combat. This is a must-have.

Zelda (Ocarina of Time)

Similar to the Link amiibo, you can find useful items, and themed weapons.

Zelda (Super Smash Bros. Series)

Offers useful items as well, although the drops can be more generalized.

Ganondorf (Super Smash Bros. Series)

This amiibo is based on the iconic villain. You can receive weapons and items that will help you on your quest. Having this amiibo is a must!

Bokoblin

This amiibo is based on the common enemy. You can find weapons and items, but is is not something you should be hyped up about.

The Champions Amiibo

Next up, we have the Champions! These amiibo are based on the four Champions from Breath of the Wild, each with their own unique perks. These are some of the most sought-after and rewarding amiibo to use in Breath of the Wild. They are all really helpful, and you'll find they are a must for most players. Each of the Champion amiibo will drop items themed after their respective champion. This is a great addition, and they are worth getting.

Mipha

This amiibo gives you items related to Zora, and the Divine Beast Vah Ruta, and has a chance to drop the Divine Beast Vah Ruta Helm. Mipha is one of the best characters, and her drops are also great!

Daruk

This amiibo provides items relating to the Gorons, and the Divine Beast Vah Rudania. This one has a chance to drop the Divine Beast Vah Rudania Helm.

Revali

Offers items related to the Rito, and the Divine Beast Vah Medoh. It has a chance to drop the Divine Beast Vah Medoh Helm.

Urbosa

This amiibo drops items related to the Gerudo, and the Divine Beast Vah Naboris. It also has a chance to drop the Divine Beast Vah Naboris Helm. Urbosa is awesome, and you will love the loot!

Other Zelda Series Amiibo

Alright, so beyond the core series and the Champions, there are a few other Zelda themed amiibo that also work with Breath of the Wild. These can be a bit harder to find, but they're worth it if you can get them. They usually offer some unique items or themed gear. These amiibo offer a bunch of cool stuff, so let's go!

8-Bit Link

This amiibo gives you items from the original Legend of Zelda game, which is super cool for fans. It's a great little nod to the roots of the series. The items aren’t game-breaking, but they’re fun to have.

Toon Link (Super Smash Bros. Series)

This amiibo provides a variety of items and sometimes the Sea Breeze Shield. It's a fun one to have, especially if you like Toon Link. You can find some cool items.

Toon Zelda (Super Smash Bros. Series)

Similarly to the Toon Link, you will find items and weapons, but is not anything special.

Wind Waker Link

This figure gives you weapons and items related to the Wind Waker game, which is really cool. The Wind Waker is a beloved classic, and this amiibo will let you find it!

Wolf Link

By far, this is one of the most popular amiibo. If you have a save file from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, Wolf Link will join you as a companion. He's a powerful ally, and he can help you take down enemies. This is an absolute must-have amiibo, and is a must for the game. Wolf Link is a game changer, and having him makes it so much more fun!

Non-Zelda Series Amiibo That Work

Believe it or not, some non-Zelda amiibo also have functionality in Breath of the Wild. This is pretty cool, as it gives you some extra reasons to scan some of your other figures. It is just some small loot, but it is better than nothing, right?

Other Nintendo Series Amiibo

These amiibo often provide food and basic materials. While not as exciting as the Zelda series amiibo, they can still be helpful, especially in the early game when resources are scarce. Sometimes you can find some nice items. It's always worth a try!

How to Use Amiibo in Breath of the Wild

Okay, so how do you actually use these amiibo? It’s super simple, guys! First, make sure you have the amiibo rune enabled in your Sheikah Slate. You get this pretty early on in the game, so you shouldn't have any problem. Then, simply hold the amiibo over the NFC reader on your Nintendo Switch (usually the right Joy-Con) or on the Wii U GamePad. After a few seconds, you'll see a chest appear on the screen, or sometimes the items will just fall from the sky. It's fun, easy, and adds a little extra something to your gameplay. Remember, you can typically scan an amiibo once per day, so it’s a good habit to get into.

Tips for Amiibo Hunting

Alright, if you're like me and you love collecting amiibo, here are some tips to help you out. First off, keep an eye on your local game stores. Check online retailers like Amazon, eBay, and other sites. Sometimes you can get great deals, especially on older amiibo. Set up alerts for when new amiibo are released or when restocks happen. They can sell out quickly, so you want to be ready. Breath of the Wild amiibo can be pretty rare, so be patient and persistent. Happy hunting!
