Nintendo Unveils Minerus Construct Amiibo for Tears of the Kingdom

Nintendo unveiled a new amiibo figure for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on the game's third anniversary, with the Minerus Construct collectible set for release on September 17, 2026.

The figure depicts the ancient Zonai robot associated with the Sage of Spirit, Mineru, which the protagonist Link reconstructs and pilots during the late stages of the game's storyline. Larger than most previous amiibo releases in the series, it features fully articulated arms for posable display options. Nintendo stated, "There's a fair bit of freedom to its movement too, so try making it pose in a way that looks good to you."

Scanning the amiibo with a Nintendo Switch's NFC reader provides in-game rewards in Tears of the Kingdom, including random items and a chance to unlock a special paraglider fabric themed after the Minerus Construct. The fabric incorporates glow-in-the-dark elements, enhancing its visual effect during gameplay traversal.

Preorders are now available through the My Nintendo Store and major retailers, with a listed price of $34.99. This aligns with recent pricing for larger-scale amiibo figures, such as those from Super Mario Galaxy.
