As many players adventuring through The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom know, good gear can sometimes feel hard to come by. Harder still to find is gear that recreates Link’s iconic green duds. For collectors and those that absolutely must have an arrangement of green tunics and caps for Hyrule’s plucky hero to wear, you’ll need to know about Zelda Amiibo unlocks.
Amiibo are of course Nintendo’s range of NFC (near-field communications) statuettes. They’re often released in connection to new or upcoming games and feature characters from those games. Often, Amiibo can be tapped against your Switch console to unlock items in specific games. The good news for Tears of the Kingdom players is that every single Zelda Amiibo unlocks in-game goodies.
For those players returning from Breath of the Wild, you may find that many of the Amiibo unlocks haven’t changed. The thing to know this time around? You don’t have to feel left out if you don’t have a particular Amiibo on hand. Every last scrap of gear you can get as a Zelda Amiibo unlock can be found somewhere in-game through normal play. In this way, you can think of the Amiibo unlocks as time savers — you could hunt around for the Tunic of the Wind from The Wind Waker, or you could tap the relevant Amiibo and have it now (or you can find it and tap the Amiibo for two Tunics of the Wind).
Below, you’ll find a list of every single Zelda Amiibo and exactly what they unlock. Some Amiibo have to be tapped several times over two or three days for a full set of unlocks.
Which Zelda Amiibo Unlock Armour Sets?
Some of the Amiibo on this list are far more sought after than others. The reason for this is that some Zelda Amiibo have a chance to drop game-specific armour sets. As mentioned above, the armour sets these Amiibo unlock can all be found somewhere in-game through normal play. Don’t worry if you can’t find one of these Amiibo for purchase (and you may not because many of them are already sold out) because you aren’t going to miss out. However, if you do have a full set of Zelda Amiibo on the shelf at home, and to save you from scrolling the whole list, here are the specific statuettes that will unlock armour sets:

Finally, the Daruk Amiibo drops a chest containing the Cobble Crusher weapon that makes a great cave excavator when fused with a boulder. He also drops the Goron-Champion Fabric for your glider and the Vah Rudania Divine Helm, along with a chest of rock salt and flint.

Link
Unlock #1: Epona
The first unlock for this Amiibo is Epona, Link’s famous horse from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask. Epona comes with full stats (sans a Pull stat). If you don’t register Epona at a stable, you can keep tapping the Amiibo to spawn her next to you. This Amiibo held the same unlock in Breath of the Wild, which is why she doesn’t have a Pull stat.
Unlock #2: Twilight Set
The next few taps will drop a chest containing one of the following three items from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
- Cap of the Twilight

- Trousers of the Twilight

Sheik
Breath of the Wild fans may be familiar with Shiek’s Amiibo drops — the Eightfold Blade and the Shield of the Mind’s Eye — but there’s a new weapon that might be of interest called the Phrenic Bow. This new weapon replaces one of this Amiibo’s old drops, BotW‘s now-retired elemental arrows.
