Nintendo Celebrates Switch 2 Launch With New Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Sages amiibo and More
The upcoming launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 is shaping up to be a major event for Nintendo fans and collectors alike.
Among the wave of announcements from recent Nintendo Direct presentations, the company has revealed new details on its beloved amiibo line, with a special focus on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and iconic faces from Street Fighter 6.
On June 5, the Nintendo Switch 2 will officially debut, and Nintendo has confirmed that a fresh collection of Zelda amiibo figurines will arrive on the same day.
This new series features the Sages from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom—including Tulin, Yunobo, Riju, and Sidon.
Each amiibo, when scanned, unlocks an exclusive new paraglider fabric, along with the standard in-game bonuses like rare weapons and materials.
This move continues Nintendo’s tradition of integrating collectible amiibo with meaningful in-game content, providing fans with tangible rewards for expanding their amiibo collections.
While these Sages take center stage, seasoned players of Tears of the Kingdom will recognize that there are more than just four Sages in the game.
Nintendo assures its fans that an amiibo representing Mineru’s Construct is also in development.
Although a specific release date has yet to be confirmed, the figure is currently listed as 'Coming Soon.' Nintendo encourages fans to stay updated for further announcements in the coming months.
Beyond Zelda, Nintendo is expanding its amiibo lineup with fresh collaborations.
A new trio of Street Fighter 6 amiibo—featuring Luke, Kimberly, and Jamie—is also set to hit shelves on the Nintendo Switch 2 launch date.
In addition to these figures, Nintendo will introduce 22 themed amiibo cards to further enhance the collectability and in-game integration for fans of the iconic fighting game franchise.
The amiibo initiative has become a staple for Nintendo enthusiasts, with over 70 million amiibo figures sold worldwide since their debut in 2014.
Each wave of releases reinforces the company’s dedication to merging physical collectibles with digital experiences.
The latest Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Street Fighter 6 amiibo series are expected to draw strong demand at launch, both at retail and through the Nintendo eShop.
For collectors and gamers eagerly anticipating the Nintendo Switch 2, these new amiibo offerings present another reason to be excited about the next generation of Nintendo hardware.
As always, Nintendo continues to innovate in both hardware and interactive gaming experiences—making the launch of Switch 2 and its accompanying amiibo lineup a must-watch event for fans worldwide.
