Nintendo has set a firm launch date for the Mineru's Construct amiibo, the collectible figure that interacts with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Nintendo Switch.
Developed and published by Nintendo EPD, Tears of the Kingdom remains one of Nintendo's flagship Nintendo Switch titles since its release on May 12, 2023.
The new amiibo will be sold as an officially licensed Nintendo product and is positioned alongside recent higher-end figures in Nintendo's amiibo lineup.
Release date and pricing
Nintendo of America announced that the Mineru's Construct amiibo will be released on September 17, 2026.
The figure carries a U.S. retail price of $34.99 USD, matching the pricing tier of the recent Super Mario Galaxy series amiibo.
The higher price reflects the figure's larger scale and additional articulation compared with standard amiibo releases.
In-game functionality and features
When scanned via the Nintendo Switch's built-in NFC, the Mineru's Construct amiibo grants players a unique paraglider design for Link in Tears of the Kingdom.
The amiibo is notable for articulated arms that can be posed, a design choice Nintendo highlighted to distinguish this release from earlier, static figures.
As with other amiibo, compatibility is specific to supported titles and functionality is delivered directly within the game on the Nintendo Switch platform.
