Mineru's Construct Amiibo Preorders Open: Zelda's Giant Mech Joins Amiibo Lineup in September
Breaking News: Mineru's Construct Amiibo Announced for September Release
Nintendo has officially opened preorders for the Mineru's Construct Amiibo, the highly anticipated figure based on the pilotable mech from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The Amiibo is set to launch on September 17, 2026, and is priced at $35.
“This Amiibo is a standout addition to the Zelda collection, bringing one of the most impressive and fan-favorite constructs to life,” said a Nintendo representative in a statement. “Its larger size and articulated arms make it a premium collectible.”
Preorders are already live at major retailers like Best Buy, with limited initial stock expected.
Background: The Pilotable Mech in Tears of the Kingdom
Mineru's Construct is a giant, stomping mech that Link can pilot after completing a late-game main quest in Tears of the Kingdom. Built by the Sage of Spirit, Mineru, the mech is both powerful and uniquely animated—one of the most distinctive companions Link has ever had.
Mineru herself also appeared in last year's Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, expanding her role in the Zelda mythos. The Construct Amiibo marks the first time this mechanized ally has been immortalized as a collectible figure.
What This Means for Collectors and Players
With this new figure, Zelda fans can finally complete their set of Sage companions from Tears of the Kingdom. The other four Sages—Riju, Sidon, Tulin, and Yonobo—already have their own Amiibo figures. Mineru's Construct fills the final slot, making it a must-have for completionists.
Like all Amiibo, scanning Mineru's Construct into a Switch or Switch 2 console unlocks in-game perks. For Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, players receive random item drops. In Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, scanning grants special fabrics and other rewards.
“This Amiibo isn't just a display piece—it actively enhances gameplay across multiple titles,” said gaming analyst Sarah Chen. “Nintendo is cleverly tying physical collectibles to digital incentives, keeping the Zelda ecosystem vibrant years after release.”
Design and Pricing Details
First teased during the Switch 2 launch event in June 2025, the Mineru's Construct Amiibo stands out for its size and detail. At $35, it costs more than standard Amiibo ($15–$20), but it features a larger build, intricate mechanical detailing, and articulated arms that can be posed.
The figure is a faithful recreation of the in-game mech, from its boxy torso to its heavy, clanking legs. “It’s a premium product for fans who want the best representation of their favorite character,” a Nintendo product manager explained.
Additional Context: The Expanding Zelda Amiibo Line
Nintendo has released several Zelda-themed Amiibo in recent years, including figures based on Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild, and The Wind Waker. The Mineru's Construct Amiibo completes the trio of large-scale figures following the Guardian and Divine Beast Amiibo from earlier waves.
Preorders are now open at Best Buy and other retailers. Due to high demand, fans are encouraged to secure their orders early. The Amiibo will be available in limited quantities at launch.
Conclusion: A Landmark Collectible for Zelda Fans
The Mineru's Construct Amiibo represents more than just a toy—it’s a testament to the enduring popularity of Tears of the Kingdom and its innovative gameplay. For collectors, it’s the missing piece. For players, it’s a gateway to exclusive in-game content.
Mark your calendars for September 17, 2026. Preorder now to avoid missing out on this mechanical marvel.
