Mineru's Construct amiibo: Release Date, Price and Rewards
Mineru's Construct amiibo releases September 17, 2026: price, rewards in Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild and Age of Imprisonment, and why it is not DLC.
Mineru’s Construct is the first Tears of the Kingdom amiibo since the four Sage figures, and the reason you may have seen headlines about a “Tears of the Kingdom September update” or “DLC”. This page has the confirmed details and the correction.
When does the Mineru amiibo come out?
Nintendo’s US store lists the release as September 17, 2026. The UK Nintendo store lists September 16, 2026 — regional release dates differ by a day. Pre-orders are open at Nintendo’s stores and major retailers.
How much does it cost?
The amiibo is priced at £24.99 in the UK and $34.99 in the US.
What does it unlock?
Nintendo’s description: scanning gives random items in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and in Tears of the Kingdom you “may” receive an exclusive paraglider fabric. The fabric’s name has not been published. The figure has articulated arms and works with the NFC reader on both Switch and Switch 2.
| Game | Reward |
|---|---|
| Tears of the Kingdom | Random items; possible exclusive paraglider fabric |
| Breath of the Wild | Random items |
| Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment | Random items |
How does it work with Zelda Notes?
On the Switch 2 Editions, amiibo can be scanned through the Zelda Notes feature of the Nintendo Switch App once per day, with one extra scan after five uses. The Sage amiibo — Sidon, Tulin, Yunobo and Riju — were added to Tears of the Kingdom in Ver. 1.4.0 on June 3, 2025. See the Zelda Notes guide for the daily-scan rules and the Switch 2 Edition differences page for what else the upgrade adds.
Why the confusion about DLC?
Several outlets ran the amiibo announcement under “Tears of the Kingdom official update coming in September”. ScreenRant’s own summary states that no DLC is in development and nothing official has been announced. A separate story about “online co-op” in Tears of the Kingdom refers to a fan-made mod, not a Nintendo release.
What else is coming for Zelda this year?
The Ocarina of Time remake is scheduled for November 5, 2026 on Switch 2, the Secrets of the Zonai art book arrives in October, and the live-action movie opens April 30, 2027.
