Which Amiibo Are You Using for Tulin + Mineru?
I needed this list SO bad… so I made one for us 🫶🏽✨
If you’re trying to unlock Tulin or Mineru in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 update (and all the Zelda furniture), here’s every amiibo that works.
The cutest part? Any one amiibo from the list unlocks all the Zelda items — so you don’t have to collect them all. Love that for us 💜
🎥 What’s shown:
• A quick visual of the update
• The amiibo list split into Tulin + Mineru unlocks
• Simple guide so you know exactly which figure to buy or scan
💜 Mini Must-Knows:
1️⃣ You only need one amiibo.
ANY amiibo from the list unlocks all the Zelda furniture, so don’t stress about collecting them all.
2️⃣ Tulin vs Mineru unlocks differ.
Some amiibo trigger Tulin, some trigger Mineru — both work for full furniture access.
3️⃣ New & older amiibo BOTH work.
Smash, BOTW, TOTK, Wind Waker, Ocarina… they all count.

Hey everyone! So, you've seen those amazing Zelda-themed items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and you're wondering how to get your hands on them, right? I was in the same boat! The original post gives you the full rundown of which amiibo to use for Tulin and Mineru's unlocks, but let's dive a little deeper into how to actually make it happen and some other handy tips I've picked up. First things first: How do you actually use an amiibo to get these cool items? It's super straightforward! Once you have one of the compatible Legend of Zelda amiibo (from either the Tulin or Mineru list), head over to the Nook Stop terminal in Resident Services. Select the 'Invite a Camper' option. Even though Tulin and Mineru won't actually visit your campsite, scanning a compatible Zelda amiibo will trigger the special items to be sent to your Nook Shopping app! Just remember, you might need to scan it a couple of times to get all the unique items associated with that amiibo, especially if it unlocks both character sets. After scanning, check your Nook Shopping app under the 'Promotional Items' tab, and boom – your new Zelda furniture will be waiting! No need to wait for a specific 'release date' for Mineru amiibo or Tulin amiibo specifically for ACNH; any of the listed Zelda amiibo will do the trick, whether they're brand new or from years ago. Now, about those Zelda-themed furniture items – what can you expect? Think beyond just a picture of Link! You can get awesome pieces like the Master Sword, Hylian Shield, Hyrulean Tunic, and even the iconic Sheikah Slate. It's a fantastic way to bring a touch of Hyrule to your island home or outdoor areas. The OCR images in the original post show an Animal Crossing character dressed as Link in a room decorated with various Legend of Zelda-themed furniture, which really captures the vibe you can achieve! Many of you might be wondering about amiibo cards versus figures. The good news is, both work exactly the same way! If you're looking for a more affordable or space-saving option, amiibo cards are a fantastic choice. You can often find packs of official amiibo cards or even individual custom-made cards online. Just make sure they're compatible NFC cards that replicate the data of a genuine Legend of Zelda amiibo. This is especially useful if you're specifically hunting for a 'tulin animal crossing amiibo card' or 'mineru animal crossing amiibo card' without wanting to buy a full figure set. And speaking of alternatives, some players explore amiibo emulators or NFC tags to unlock content. While the official method involves genuine Nintendo amiibo or amiibo cards, it's worth knowing that the technology behind amiibo is NFC (Near Field Communication). This means that with specific NFC writers and blank NFC tags, it's technically possible to write amiibo data onto generic tags. This can be a more budget-friendly way to access the content, but always make sure you're getting your data from reputable sources if you go this route. So, whether you grab a classic Link amiibo figure, a new Zelda & Loftwing, or an amiibo card, getting those Tulin and Mineru unlocks for your ACNH island is totally doable. Happy decorating, and I hope this helps you get all the amazing Zelda furniture you've been dreaming of!
