Summary
Just when you thought things were winding down for theNintendo Switch, a jam-packed few months for the console to close out its eighth year is about to begin.The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdombegins what will likely be the console’s home stretch, and with it comes confirmation that amiibo haven’t been left in the past, at least not yet. Nintendo quietlyconfirmed amiibo functionality for its next Zelda gameearlier this year, and now it has shared what the figures will do and which ones will work with the game.
Spotted byNintendo Life, the update on what exactly amiibo will do in Echoes Of Wisdom was shared on Nintendo’s Japanese site. It’s just one, relatively short sentence, but it confirms that tapping pre-existing Zelda amiibo to your Joy-Con while playing Echoes Of Wisdom will unlock useful items and different colors of clothing.
Some of the amiibo to be reprinted and restocked during the build to Echoes Of Wisdom’s release have hinted at which figures will be compatible with the new game, but thanks to Nintendo we now know all of the figures we will need to dust off for a new adventure on September 26. 28 amiibo from throughout The Legend Of Zelda’s Switch run will unlock stuff in Echoes Of Wisdom including all threeTears Of The Kingdomamiibo and variousSmash Ultimatefigures. The full list can be foundon Nintendo’s Japanese site.
Time To Bust Out Your Old Amiibo For One Last Mission
If you’ve already got some or all of the amiibo that will get you stuff in Echoes Of Wisdom, good for you. If you want to grab some in time for the game’s release, compatible figures have been popping up here and there. Last week amiibo from Link’s Awakening and Wind Waker went back up for pre-order, releasing on the same day as Echoes Of Wisdom. Hopefully more figures will become available again between now and September 26.
The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker Zelda Amiibo
This Zelda amiibo is based on the Hylian princess’s look in Wind Waker. The amiibo functions with various Zelda games though, unlocking stuff in-game when tapped to your Switch.
The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Link Amiibo
This Link amiibo is based on the titular hero’s look in The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. A good-looking collectible that you’re able to also use to unlock items in various Zelda games by tapping it to your Switch.
Following Echoes Of Wisdom in what will be an unexpectedly busy holiday season for the Switch isSuper Mario Party Jamboreeand thenMario & Luigi: Brothership. There’s alsoDonkey Kong Country Returns HDin January, and of course,Metroid Prime 4: Beyondafter that. No firm release date for the long-awaited Metroid game which might mean it’s a Switch 2 launch title, or perhaps a game that will be released on both the Switch and its successor.
