How to Use amiibo Figures (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)

Nintendo Switch 2

Follow these steps to use amiibo figures in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Information

You can use amiibo figures in the game as follows:

  • Scan the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time series Young Link or Young Zelda amiibo figures to unlock nostalgic masks.
  • Scan other amiibo figures of characters from The Legend of Zelda series to summon handy items for your adventure.
  • You can use ZELDA NOTES in the Nintendo Switch App to track your scanned amiibo. After scanning the same compatible amiibo five times, you're rewarded with a bonus use of that figure that day.
