Mineru's Construct Amiibo Finally Revealed

The Long-Awaited Release of Mineru’s Construct amiibo

After more than a year of silence, Nintendo has finally revealed the release date for the Mineru’s Construct amiibo. The announcement was made this afternoon through the Nintendo Today app, confirming that the figure will be available on September 17, 2026. This date comes a few months after the third anniversary of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s original Switch launch. While the pricing and preorder details have not been disclosed yet, fans are eagerly awaiting further information.

The Mineru’s Construct amiibo was first teased during the April 2025 Nintendo Direct event, which also announced Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Alongside it, the four TOTK Sage amiibo—Tulin, Yunobo, Riju, and Sidon—were introduced as part of the Switch 2 launch on June 5, 2025. Fans, including many long-time enthusiasts, assumed that Mineru would follow shortly after, possibly on November 6, 2025—the launch date of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. However, that did not happen, and the amiibo remained in limbo with no updates from Nintendo until today.

A Unique Design and Functionality

Unlike the smaller statuettes of the other Sages, the Mineru’s Construct amiibo is a larger figure with articulated arms that can be posed. It functions similarly to the other TOTK Sage amiibo. When scanned in Tears of the Kingdom, it grants players weapons and materials, and there is even a chance to unlock a special fabric for Link’s paraglider. According to Nintendo’s description, the fabric from Mineru’s Construct has a unique feature—it glows slightly in the dark, something that the other Sage fabrics do not possess.

This glowing detail adds an extra layer of appeal for collectors and fans who appreciate the attention to detail in Nintendo’s amiibo line. The design of the figure itself, with its floating, spirit-energy look, suggests a level of complexity that may have contributed to the delay in its release.

Why the Delay?

The timing of the release is somewhat unusual, especially since Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment was released without the Mineru’s Construct amiibo. There are several possible reasons for the delay. One theory is that the manufacturing process required for the figure’s unique design may have taken longer than expected. Another possibility is that Nintendo wanted to spread out its 2026 amiibo lineup to maintain interest over time.

Regardless of the reason, the announcement brings relief to many fans who have been waiting for this figure to complete their TOTK amiibo collection. For those who consider Tears of the Kingdom one of the best games ever made, seeing Mineru’s Construct finally reach the finish line is a satisfying moment.

What’s Next?

As of now, the official pricing and preorder availability have not been announced. However, once Nintendo confirms these details, fans will be able to plan accordingly. The release of the Mineru’s Construct amiibo marks a significant milestone for the TOTK amiibo set, allowing collectors to complete their collection on September 17, 2026.

With the anticipation building, the gaming community is looking forward to more updates from Nintendo in the coming weeks. For now, the focus remains on the upcoming release and the excitement it brings to fans around the world.
