Nintendo has confirmed two new amiibo figures — Young Link and Young Zelda — tied to the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2.
The company said the NFC-enabled figures will unlock special in-game masks when used with the remake, and that the amiibo will arrive after the game's launch in an unspecified window during 2027.
Background and context
Nintendo introduced amiibo figures in 2014 as NFC accessories that interact with multiple platforms and titles.
Since their debut, amiibo have been used to unlock costumes, items, and bonus content across Nintendo systems, including the Nintendo Switch and handheld platforms that support NFC functionality.
The newly announced Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo continue that tradition, targeting the audience for one of Nintendo’s most storied franchises.
What Nintendo announced (rewritten)
In its announcement, Nintendo explained that two new amiibo—representing Young Link and Young Zelda—are being produced to work with the Ocarina of Time remake on Nintendo Switch 2.
The company clarified that the figures leverage NFC to grant players special in-game masks in the remake.
Nintendo also confirmed the amiibo will ship later than the game itself, with a general release timeframe of 2027 but without a specific date.
