The 40th anniversary of Zelda just keeps on delivering<\/p>\n

Back in May, to mark the third anniversary of the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/em>, Nintendo unveiled a new amiibo figure tied to the game, due this month. It might be the best Tears of the Kingdom <\/em>figurine yet. Barring any new amiibo reveals at this week’s new Zelda-themed Nintendo Direct, it’s a strong front-runner for AOTY (amiibo of the year).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nintendo’s new Mineru’s Construct amiibo will be available starting Sept. 17. It’s a relatively large-scale figure representing the ancient Zonai robot originally used by the Sage of Spirit, Mineru, and rebuilt and commanded by Link toward the end of the game’s storyline.<\/p>\n

Best of all, it has fully articulated, posable arms! “There’s a fair bit of freedom to its movement too, so try making it pose in a way that looks good to you,” recommends Nintendo, helpfully.<\/p>\n

As with other amiibo, tapping the Mineru’s Construct on your Switch’s NFC reader will reward you with helpful items in-game. Notably, there’s a chance to get a special fabric for Link’s paraglider with a Mineru’s Construct theme and glow-in-the-dark elements.<\/p>\n

It’s anyone’s guess why Nintendo is choosing to release the Mineru’s Construct amiibo almost three years after the game (and a year after its Switch 2 edition of Tears of the Kingdom<\/em>). Although it’s worth noting that the very existence of the Construct could be considered a late-game spoiler for Tears of the Kingdom<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nintendo will release a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/em> later this year, and finally brings the franchise to the big screen in 2027 with the live-action movie adaptation, The Legend of Zelda<\/em>.<\/p>\n
