Nintendo Continues amiibo Legacy with New Zelda Sages Collection for Switch 2 Launch Nintendo has maintained its momentum in 2025 with a string of high-profile announcements, solidifying its position as a leader in the gaming industry.

This June, the company is set to refresh its renowned amiibo lineup with new figurines based on the beloved Sages from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, coinciding with the anticipated release of the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025. The newly announced Zelda amiibo wave will feature Tulin, Yunobo, Riju, and Sidon, key characters from Tears of the Kingdom who play crucial roles alongside the series protagonist, Link.

Each amiibo figure, when scanned on compatible Nintendo hardware, will unlock a unique paraglider fabric for Link, as well as a selection of weapons and materials to enrich the player's adventure through Hyrule.

This functional integration continues the amiibo series’ tradition of providing both collectible value and in-game enhancements for fans. Nintendo of America confirmed the release date on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, stating that collectors and players alike can pick up the new amiibo figures starting June 5, aligning with the launch window for the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2.

According to the company's statement, each new amiibo unlocks exclusive customization options for Link’s gear, underscoring Nintendo’s commitment to supporting creative player experiences in its flagship franchises. For those wondering about the inclusion of all Sages from Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo clarified that a separate amiibo representing Mineru's Construct is in development and will be released at a later date, currently marked as "Coming Soon." The company encourages fans to stay tuned for further updates in the months ahead. The new Zelda figures arrive alongside a suite of additional amiibo content announced during the recent Nintendo Direct for Switch 2.

The lineup expands to embrace characters from Street Fighter 6, with amiibo for Luke, Kimberly, and Jamie, all debuting on day one.

Nintendo is also launching a comprehensive set of 22 amiibo cards, providing collectors with even more options across genres and franchises. Since their debut in 2014, amiibo figures have consistently proven popular, merging the appeal of physical collectibles with digital gameplay bonuses across key series like The Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros., and Animal Crossing.

With each new wave, Nintendo reinforces the value of its ecosystem, ensuring that amiibo remains a vibrant part of its platform strategy, supporting both the Nintendo Switch 2 and ongoing series. The forthcoming Zelda Sage amiibo not only celebrate the role of Tears of the Kingdom within Nintendo’s legacy but also signal the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation at the intersection of physical and digital gaming.

As June 5 approaches, fans can anticipate another chapter in the storied history of amiibo—and another reason for shelves to get a little more crowded.
