How to use amiibo in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
If you’re unsure how to use amiibo in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, here’s what you need to do.
First of all, you won’t be able to use any amiibo until you attempt to open the Temple of Time in the game, which occurs shortly after the game’s introduction.
Once you unlock the Ultra Hand ability, you’ll see an option to select amiibo from the abilities menu (which can be viewed by pressing the L button). Simply select amiibo using the analog stick, then grab the figure of your choice. Place your amiibo over a compatible area (the analog stick on the right Joy-Con and the right analog stick on the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller).
You can also use amiibo by entering the pause menu and navigating to the ‘Save’ and ‘Load’ screens. From here, select ‘Options” and look for the ‘amiibo’ sub-menu.
