Nintendo Sets Mineru Construct Amiibo for September 17 at $35
Nintendo has set the mineru construct amiibo for September 17, pricing the figure at $35 and opening pre-orders ahead of release. For players and collectors, the move turns a long-running Zelda tie-in into a fixed purchase date rather than a vague promise.
Mineru in Zelda Games
The figure is tied to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Nintendo says it “lets you receive” random items in all three games, giving the amiibo value beyond display shelf appeal.
In Tears of the Kingdom, players may also receive a special fabric for Link’s paraglider. That keeps the figure relevant in the game where Mineru debuted in 2023 and where she remains one of the few characters with a direct collectible release attached to her name.
Why Mineru Matters
Mineru is the Sage of Spirit, and Nintendo describes her and her younger brother Raura as two of the very last Zonai in Hyrule. That background gives the amiibo a narrower focus than the usual Zelda character wave: this is not a broad nostalgia item, but a release built around one specific character with a defined place in the series’ timeline.
The timing also fits Nintendo’s wider handling of the character. Mineru was made a villager in Animal Crossing: New Horizons in a January 2026 update, which shows the company has kept the character active across multiple properties rather than leaving her tied only to one game launch.
Pre-Orders and Timing
Pre-orders are already live, so the practical choice for buyers is simple: order now if they want the September 17 release window or wait and risk missing the first shipment. At $35, the price sits well above a standard digital game add-on and makes the amiibo a physical collectible first, gameplay utility second.
The lack of any announced Zelda game or DLC attached to the release is the real wrinkle. Some fans have speculated about a larger tie-in, but the only thing Nintendo has put on the calendar is the figure itself. For now, the best reading is straightforward: September 17 is about Mineru’s Construct, not a broader Zelda reveal.
