During Nintendo's Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, the company confirmed two new amiibo tied to the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2.
The announcement names Young Link and Young Zelda as the two figures, each modeled after the characters' redesigned appearances in the remake.
The new amiibo follow Nintendo's long-running amiibo program, which uses NFC-enabled figurines to provide in-game bonuses on compatible hardware.
Nintendo stated that scanning these Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo will grant players in-game head accessories based on the two characters' looks in the remake.
This continues Nintendo's established practice of offering cosmetic items and minor gameplay bonuses through amiibo support.
Release window and pricing
Nintendo indicated the Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo will arrive sometime in 2027.
At the time of the Direct, the company has not provided firm pricing or an exact release date for either figure.
Nintendo has a history of staggering preorders and regional release notices, so further details will likely appear closer to launch via Nintendo Direct, official Nintendo social channels, or the Nintendo eShop.
Context and significance
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is among Nintendo's high-profile projects for Switch 2, and the inclusion of new amiibo highlights how Nintendo continues to leverage physical collectibles as part of its product ecosystem.
Amiibo have been used across multiple Nintendo platforms, including the Nintendo Switch family, to unlock content ranging from cosmetic items to bonus features.
For collectors, Young Link and Young Zelda add to a long line of Zelda-related amiibo that span decades of the franchise.
What to watch next
Nintendo has confirmed the characters and a 2027 release window for the figures but has not detailed pricing, preorder timing, or region-specific availability.
Relevant follow-ups will likely appear in future Nintendo Direct presentations, on the Nintendo eShop, and in official Nintendo press releases.
We will update coverage when Nintendo releases additional specifics on launch timing and price for the Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo.
