Like most modern Nintendo games,The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomallows players to use their amiibo figures to receive special items. This feature has become a fixture in Zelda games, with the figures offering players a way to quickly obtain materials, and sometimes even one-of-a-kind items. WhileEchoes of Wisdomdoes allow players to use amiibo figures, there are some important limitations that players should be aware of. This guide will walk players throughhow to use amiibo figures inThe Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
How to Use Amiibo in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
When players first start theirEchoes of Wisdomplaythroughs, they’ll likely notice the “amiibo” option in the System menu is greyed-out and cannot be accessed. While it’s true that youcannot use Amiibo immediately, you will not have to wait long to gain access to the mechanics.
When the time comes, you’ll get a message in the pause menu that notifies you whenamiibo can be used. There was not a major event that signaled this for us, other than generally being released into the open-world. However, we did not immediately get the notice. Instead, it occurred shortly after exitingBeach Cave. We got access to amiibo just before learningEchoes of Wisdom’s fast-travel mechanic.
Once we received the notice, we were free to use amiibo. However, there are strict limitations on how often you can use amiibo inEchoes of Wisdom.
It appears that you can onlyuse amiibo figuresfromThe Legend of Zelda.It does not matter which game they represent, only that they arefrom theZelda franchise. Figures from other franchises are widely reported as coming up incompatible. If we find any non-Zeldafigures that do work, we will update this guide to reflect that.
Amiibo Rewards in Echoes of Wisdom:
During the early game sections,using amiiboappears to only get youSmoothie materialsandmonster parts. You can get a wide variety of these materials, but only three times a day. Once you complete Hyrule Castle, amiibo will have the chance to dropcosmetic outfits for Zelda. We do not currently have confirmation on the complete list of outfits, but they will be added as soon as we have it.
