Nintendo Unveils Posable Mineru’s Construct amiibo for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

On May 12, Nintendo announced that the "Mineru’s Construct" amiibo, based on the character from the Nintendo Switch title The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, will be released on September 17. The announcement was made on the milestone of the game's third anniversary, sparking a massive wave of excitement among the fan base.

This newly announced amiibo features a powerful, meticulously detailed sculpt that captures the essence of the character. Standing larger than standard amiibo figures, it is designed with articulated arm parts, allowing collectors to enjoy various poses. The high quality of the figure has already made it a standout piece for collectors. Furthermore, scanning the amiibo in-game will grant players a special "Paraglider Fabric" that glows at night, as well as a variety of items helpful for their journey through Hyrule.

On social media, fans have shared their joy regarding the timing of the announcement, with comments like "This is incredibly hype!" and "I’ve been waiting for this forever." While some noted that the price—set at approximately 5,000 yen—is a bit higher than previous large-scale amiibo like the "Guardian," the consensus remains positive. Between the posable joints and the intricate design, many fans are already lining up for pre-orders.

Amiibo from The Legend of Zelda series have long been praised for their high level of fidelity to the source material. By bringing Mineru’s Construct, a vital ally in the game, to life, Nintendo is offering fans a tangible way to commemorate their adventures in the skies and lands of Hyrule.

The context

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, released in 2023, is the critically acclaimed sequel to Breath of the Wild. It introduced the "Construct" mechanics, where players can build and pilot various machines. Mineru’s Construct (known as the "Mineru Golem" in the original Japanese) is a central character and a massive mechanical ally that the protagonist, Link, can control. Amiibo are Nintendo’s line of NFC-enabled figurines that interact with games to provide cosmetic or functional rewards. The announcement of this specific figure is significant because it is one of the most complex designs in the Zelda amiibo line to date, featuring articulation that is rare for the series.
