The 3.0 Update has arrived for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and with it comes a whole lot of cool new stuff to see and do. For example, you can now invite two characters inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to your island. The bad news: you’re going to need some amiibo figures to make that happen. The good news is that basically every Legend of Zelda amiibo qualifies.
The process of inviting the Zelda villagers works like any other amiibo villager. You can bring them in for temporary visits via The Roost and the new Hotel, or you can head to Resident Services and use the Nook Stop to invite them to your campsite. Once they’re at the campsite, you can negotiate with them to have them move to your island in a more permanent fashion.
Mineru is a Snooty type deer villager based on the Zonai character of the same name from Tears of the Kingdom. You can invite her using any of the following amiibo figures:
Super Smash Bros. Series
- Zelda
- Sheik
- Ganondorf
The Legend of Zelda Series
- Link (Rider)
- Link (The Legend of Zelda)
- Link (Ocarina of Time)
- Link (Twilight Princess)
- Link (Link’s Awakening)
- Wolf Link
- Zelda (Breath of the Wild)
- Zelda (Tears of the Kingdom)
- Urbosa
- Riju
- Mipha
- Sidon
- Guardian
Tulin is a Jock type bird, and if you’ve played Tears of the Kingdom you’ll definitely be familiar with him. If you want to invite him, you’ll need to scan one of the following amiibo figures:
Super Smash Bros. Series
- Link
- Toon Link
- Young Link
The Legend of Zelda Series
- Tulin
- Revali
- Link (Archer)
- Link (Tears of the Kingdom)
- Link (Skyward Sword)
- Link (Majora’s Mask)
- Toon Link (The Wind Waker)
- Zelda (The Wind Waker)
- Zelda & Loftwing
- Daruk
- Yunobo
- Bokoblin
- Ganondorf
