New Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Amiibo Lands on September 17
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
The Mineru's Construct amiibo from Tears of the Kingdom launches on September 17, though online pre-orders are currently sold out.
Nintendo fans tracking the massive wave of franchise announcements from the recent forty-second anniversary Direct have a concrete date to mark on their calendars. Game Rant reports that the Tears of the Kingdom Mineru's Construct amiibo is officially scheduled to launch on September 17, retailing for thirty-four dollars and ninety-nine cents. Much like the hardware bundles and special controllers revealed during the broadcast, online pre-orders for the figure vanished almost instantly, meaning collectors will likely need to try their luck with in-person retail stock on launch day.
While hardware scarcity remains a familiar headache for modern collectors, tapping the figure into Tears of the Kingdom unlocks a dedicated paraglider fabric alongside a bundle of helpful in-game items. The accessory also grants random drops when scanned into Breath of the Wild and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, though the custom glider pattern stays exclusive to Link's open-world adventure. Additional figures, including Young Link and Young Zelda models tied to the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake, are also on the way despite currently sitting in sold-out status online.
September 17 is turning into a crowded launch window for Nintendo hardware and software enthusiasts overall. Alongside the arrival of the Mineru's Construct figure, the platform is also dropping Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave for the Switch 2. For players hunting down physical collectibles or managing their platform libraries across generations, it makes for an expensive mid-month release slate.
