You can scan your Amiibos to get a multitude of rewards in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Some of these rewards are exclusive to them too, such as the Paraglider Fabrics. Of course, these are purely cosmetic so you’re not missing out too much if you don’t have them.
In this guide, we’ll tell you how Amiibos work in Tears of the Kingdom and what rewards you can get from them.
How Amiibos work in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
You will need to scan your Amiibos by placing them on the NFC touchpoint. This is the right stick on Joycons and Switch Lite, and the Nintendo Switch logo on Pro Controllers.
Once you’ve scanned it, you can select the “amiibo” ability from the ability wheel by holding the L button. Press L with the ability selected and aim at where you want to spawn your rewards, then press L again.
You can scan each Amiibo only once per day.The rewards are also randomized each day, so you will need to keep trying daily to get all potential rewards!
Additionally, Amiibos from properties other than The Legend of Zelda will only provide basic generic rewards, such as random weapons and materials. Only The Legend of Zelda Amiibos will provide unique rewards!
Lastly, most Amiibo will spawn a bunch of random resources and a chest. The resources and chest contents are all randomized, but they are always of the same type. For example, Revali’s resources are always fruits.
Most of the rewards from Amiibo can be found by simply exploring the game’s world, but Paraglider Fabrics can only be obtained from them.

Venezuelan gamer cursed by being interested by most games, resulting in a ridiculous backlog he’ll never be able to conquer. Been gaming for over two decades now! Few things exemplify his wide variety in gaming tastes as the fact that he’s a big fan of both Souls games and the Atelier series at the same time. Also a big fan of Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Deadly Premonition, Zero Escape, and Dead Rising, among others. Considers Lost Judgment and Sekiro to both be masterpieces.
