After greater than a 12 months of silence, Nintendo has finally confirmed a release date for the Mineru’s Construct amiibo. Announced this afternoon via the Nintendo Today app, the figure will arrive on September 17, 2026, a number of months after the third anniversary of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom‘s original Switch launch. Pricing wasn’t included within the announcement (edit: it’s $34.99), and preorder details haven’t surfaced yet either (edit: available on Nintendo Store).
The Mineru’s Construct amiibo was originally teased in the identical April 2025 Nintendo Direct that announced Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, alongside the 4 TOTK Sage amiibo (Tulin, Yunobo, Riju, and Sidon) that launched with the Switch 2 on June 5, 2025. Mineru was purported to follow at a later date, and most fans, myself included, assumed that “later date” meant November 6, 2025, the launch of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. That didn’t occur, and the amiibo has been in limbo ever since, with Nintendo offering zero updates until today.
Unlike the smaller statuettes of the opposite Sages, the Mineru’s Construct amiibo is a bigger figure with articulated arms you’ll be able to pose. Functionally, it really works the identical way as the opposite TOTK Sage amiibo. Scanning it in Tears of the Kingdom gives you weapons and materials, and there’s a probability to unlock a special fabric for Link’s paraglider. Per Nintendo’s description, the material this one drops partly glows at the hours of darkness, which is a pleasant touch that the opposite Sage fabrics don’t have.
The timing is just a little curious on condition that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment got here and went without the figure in tow. It’s possible the manufacturing complexity of giving the Construct that floating, spirit-energy look slowed things down, or Nintendo simply desired to space out its 2026 amiibo lineup. Either way, as someone who considers Tears of the Kingdom top-of-the-line games I’ve ever played, I’m glad to finally see this one cross the finish line. Anyone who has been chasing the complete set of TOTK amiibo can finally complete the gathering on September 17. We’ll update this post once Nintendo confirms pricing and preorder availability.
