| Japan reservations | Japanese coverage says reservations began May 12 at My Nintendo Store, with other game retailers and online shops expected to follow as ready |
| Figure feature | Articulated arms that can be moved and posed |
| Main Tears of the Kingdom reward | Random items and a chance at a special fabric for Link’s paraglider |
The character context is straightforward: Nintendo describes Mineru as King Rauru’s elder sister, the Sage of Spirit, and a character who helps Link in the present day through a Zonai construct in Tears of the Kingdom .
In Tears of the Kingdom, scanning the Mineru’s Construct amiibo can provide random items and may grant a special fabric for Link’s paraglider . Japanese coverage adds one notable visual detail: part of that paraglider fabric glows at night
.
Nintendo also lists random-item functionality for Breath of the Wild and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, while noting that amiibo functionality can vary by game and may require software updates .
The timing stands out because Tears of the Kingdom originally launched on May 12, 2023, and coverage framed the Mineru announcement around the game’s third anniversary . A September 17, 2026 release places the amiibo more than three years after the base game.
It also trails the rest of the Sage-focused amiibo lineup. GamesRadar reported that Tulin, Yunobo, Riju, and Sidon amiibo were scheduled for June 5, with paraglider fabrics plus item rewards for Tears of the Kingdom . GameSpot described Mineru’s Construct as the final Zelda amiibo planned for a later release while the other new figures were tied to the Switch 2 launch period
.
Functionally, Mineru appears to follow the same broad Zelda amiibo pattern: scan the figure, receive items, and potentially unlock a special Tears of the Kingdom paraglider fabric . The clearer differences are the figure design and the cited pricing.
Nintendo highlights Mineru’s articulated arms . GamesRadar reports a $34.99 U.S. pre-order price for Mineru’s Construct
, while GameSpot reported that the June Tears of the Kingdom amiibo were updated to $30 each at retailers
.
Not on its own. The Switch 2 context explains why fans are reading into the timing: other Tears of the Kingdom amiibo were announced around the Switch 2 launch period , and Vandal reports that Mineru’s Construct is compatible with Tears of the Kingdom on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2
.
But Nintendo’s official amiibo page lists rewards for Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment; it does not announce a new mainline Zelda title . The safer read is that Mineru’s Construct extends Tears of the Kingdom’s amiibo lineup into the Switch 2 era and closes out the Sage set, rather than confirming a sequel or new Zelda project
.
For Zelda amiibo collectors, Mineru’s Construct is the missing late-arriving Sage figure, with a firm September 17, 2026 release date and a reported $34.99 U.S. pre-order price . For gameplay-only players, the confirmed draw is narrower: random items and a possible special paraglider fabric in Tears of the Kingdom, with no official evidence here of a new Switch 2 Zelda reveal
