Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Pilotable Mech Gets An Amiibo This Year

For fans who loved piloting the massive automaton in Tears of the Kingdom, the wait is finally over. The Mineru's Construct Amiibo is officially set to release on September 17, 2026, bringing the Sage of Spirit’s mechanical creation into your home collection.

Built by Mineru, this stompy mech serves as one of the most powerful and unique companions in Hyrule. After unlocking it during a late main story quest, Link can pilot the construct to devastate enemies and traverse the landscape. Now, Nintendo is allowing players to own a detailed version of this mechanical marvel.

Larger Scale and Articulated Design

Nintendo first unveiled the Mineru's Construct Amiibo during the Switch 2 launch event in June 2025. Unlike standard figures, this model is significantly larger and boasts intricate details that capture the mechanical complexity of the in-game vehicle.

Key features of the figure include:

  • Articulated arms for dynamic posing.
  • Enhanced detailing that highlights the automaton's mechanical nature.
  • Amiibo functionality compatible with both Switch and Switch 2 consoles.

While the figure commands a higher price point at $35, the increased size and articulation justify the cost for dedicated collectors. Preorders are currently available at major retailers like Best Buy.

Unlock In-Game Perks and Complete Your Collection

Scanning the Mineru's Construct Amiibo into your console unlocks various in-game items and perks across the Legend of Zelda franchise. This includes random item drops in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment and special fabrics in both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

This release allows fans to finally complete their set of Sage companions from Tears of the Kingdom. The other four Sages—Riju, Sidon, Tulin, and Yunobo—are also available as Amiibo figures, alongside other Tears of the Kingdom and Wind Waker variants.

Upcoming Zelda and Nintendo Releases

With the next Legend of Zelda game expected to launch on the Switch 2 in the near future, collectors are eyeing these new figures as essential additions. While the next title may not be out for quite some time, Nintendo has a robust lineup of Switch 2 games coming soon, including:

  • Yoshi and the Mysterious Book: An adventure-platformer for family-friendly fun.
  • Star Fox: Piloting the iconic Arwing starship.
  • Splatoon Raiders: The series' first single-player-focused entry, featuring new Amiibo figures.

As the Mineru's Construct Amiibo prepares for its September 2026 release, it stands as a must-have for those who want to preserve the legacy of Tears of the Kingdom's most iconic mechanical ally.
