'''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. (Series)|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.
The '''Goddess Blade''' is a class of Weapon used by [[Fi]] in {{HW}}. It is associated with [[Element (Hyrule Warriors)|Light]].
 
   
  +
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 ''{{Ac|Animal Crossing (series)|Animal Crossing}}''.
==Variations==
 
The default Goddess Blade is the '''[[Goddess Sword]]''', while the second form of the Goddess Blade is the '''[[Goddess Longsword]]'''. The third form of the Goddess Blade is the '''True Goddess Blade'''. The Lv.★ form of the Goddess Blade is the '''8-Bit [[Silver Arrow]]''' which is only available for ''Hyrule Warriors''. The fourth form of the Goddess Blade is the '''Liquid Goddess Blade''' which associate with both the Elements of Light and [[Element (Hyrule Warriors)|Water]] from ''Hyrule Warriors Legends''.

{|class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
Fi transforms into a large version of the currently equipped Sword, swinging in a wide circle as a golden light version of [[The Imprisoned]]'s seal forms in the center. Fi plunges the Sword into the seal, creating a large explosion. She then transforms into her primary form as, purely for visual effect, the "petals" of a [[Trial Gate]] form around her and shine a light before vanishing. This attack carries no Element and damages a wide range around Fi.{{verify}}

==Functionality==
  +
<!--Only add games that Zelda-specific amiibo have special functionality with. If scanning a Zelda amiibo results in a generic reward possible by scanning any other amiibo, do not add it.-->
  +
  +
===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U''===
  +
<!--first release anywhere: 2014-11-21-->
  +
In {{SSB4}}, 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''===
  +
{{Image

  +
|captionalign = center
  +
}}
  +
<!--first amiibo compatibility anywhere: 2014-11-27-->
  +
In ''Hyrule Warriors'' and {{HWL}}, 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#Hyrule Warriors|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.<ref>{{Cite web|quote= The only difference that has been announced so far is that the Link amiibo does not unlock the Spinner weapon because it is available from the start.|author= Andrew|published= January 20, 2016|retrieved= January 28, 2016|url= https://amiiboalerts.com/news/hyrule-warriors-legends-will-support-amiibo|title= Hyrule Warriors Legends Will Support amiibo|site= amiibo Alerts|type=}}</ref>
  +
  +
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 ''{{smw|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.<ref>{{Cite web|quote= |author= GameXplain|published= September 17, 2015|retrieved= September 18, 2015|url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq8sRYh8yZw&feature=youtu.be|title= All 100 amiibo costumes in Super Mario Maker - Level Showcase|site= YouTube|type=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|quote= |author= GameXplain|published= September 18, 2015|retrieved= September 18, 2015|url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK_tnhfGHxo|title= Super Mario Maker: All 100 Flagpole Animations & Music (amiibo costumes)|site= YouTube|type=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|quote= |author= GameXplain|published= September 18, 2015|retrieved= September 18, 2015|url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NHqSayQMyQ|title= Super Mario Maker: All 100 Death Sounds (amiibo costumes)|site= YouTube|type=}}</ref> There exist costumes of Link, Zelda, Sheik, Toon Link, Ganondorf, as well as Tingle, Totem Link (based on the [[Links]] from {{TFH}}), Wolf Link, and [[Tetra]].

  +
  +
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.

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 Animal Crossing.

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
Artwork of Link riding the Spinner in Hyrule Warriors

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.

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.[7]

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.[8] 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.[9]
