Summary

  • September 17 is the launch date Nintendo confirmed for the Mineru’s Construct amiibo from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, years after the game’s 2023 debut.
  • The figure joins the Zelda amiibo line with articulated arms and also unlocks a unique paraglider design for Link when scanned into Tears of the Kingdom.
  • Nintendo has not disclosed a price, but fan reaction focused on the long gap—about 15 months from announcement to release and more than three years after the game launched.
  • The release lands during Zelda’s 40th anniversary year, as Nintendo continues to expand the franchise beyond the original Switch-era duology with newer editions and spinoffs.
