Nintendo has officially revealed some of the amiibo bonuses players can get when they use supported figures with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom capped off the latest Nintendo Direct presentation with a gameplay trailer that showed some of the new features fans can look forward to once the highly-anticipated game arrives a little later this year.
Besides showing a new Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gameplay trailer, Nintendo also revealed some other details about the game. It unveiled the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Collector’s Edition, confirmed that the game will cost $70 instead of the usual $60, and revealed a new Link amiibo figure based on the hero’s appearance in the new game. The new Tears of the Kingdom Link amiibo will give players a special paraglider, and the same can be said for other Zelda franchise amiibo that have been released over the years.
Shortly after dropping the new Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gameplay trailer at the Nintendo Direct, Nintendo revealed the different gliders that players can get with amiibo. The Link (Rider) amiibo based on his appearance in Breath of the Wild will give the glider a darker design, whereas the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo based on Skyward Sword gives the glider a makeover reminiscent of that game. The most visually-striking glider comes from using the Majora’s Mask Link amiibo, which makes Link’s glider look like the titular Majora’s Mask.
The glider makeovers are likely reason enough for hardcore Zelda fans to seek out more amiibo figures for their collection, but the amiibo will offer some other bonuses as well. While Nintendo stopped short of getting into specifics, it also confirmed that these amiibo will give Tears of the Kingdom players helpful items and weapons. It’s possible these other bonuses will be detailed prior to the game’s launch in May, but it’s also possible fans will have to wait for the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom release date to roll around to find out exactly what all the amiibo figures can do.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom launches May 12, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
