amiibo (Rune)

[[File:File:BotW amiibo Rune Icon.png.png|20x20px]] [[|]] amiibo is a Rune ability in Breath of the Wild. The Rune enables compatible amiibo figures to be scanned into the game.

Location and Uses

Unlike other Runes, amiibo support is activated via the Options menu of the game and available shortly after obtaining the Sheikah Slate. The support can also be disabled at any time.

Ability

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 (e.g., in Shrines or during the Eventide island trial). A particular amiibo figure can only be scanned once a day (with the exception of Wolf Link which can be summoned indefinitely, as long as it has still hearts remaining).

Scanning Results

Overview

Most amiibo will grant random items and materials. All The Legend of Zelda-related amiibo have a chance to drop exclusive weapons or armor, some of which not otherwise available. Most Zelda amiibo will drop both a treasure chest and items that simply drop from the sky, while a few will also drop usable crates or barrels. Additionally, the Super Smash Bros. Link amiibo may summon Epona while the Wolf Link amiibo will exclusively summon Wolf Link into the game.

Some items, including exclusives, are only available depending on the game's progression (i.e. after obtaining the paraglider or after defeating at least one divine beast), while some of the more common items are only available before leaving the Great Plateau.
