As with all modern Zelda games, Echoes of Wisdom allows you to scan your amiibo in for rewards and ingredients. So whether you have a plethora of figures or just a handful, you're sure to get something if you get scanning.

Below, we've listed all of the Echoes of Wisdom amiibo unlocks and rewards you can start adding to your collection.

Which amiibo work with Echoes of Wisdom?

All of The Legend of Zelda Series amiibo are compatible with Echoes of Wisdom.

This includes the Super Smash Bros. amiibo, all the way through to the Tears of the Kingdom amiibo.

amiibo that do not belong to the Zelda series are not compatible.

How many times can you scan your amiibo in Echoes of Wisdom?

Each amiibo can only be scanned once a day.

Additionally, you can only claim amiibo rewards three times a day in total. Essentially, that means you can only scan in three different amiibo per day.

Unless you want to play around with your system clock, that is...

How to use amiibos in Echoes of Wisdom

You unlock amiibo rewards in Echoes of Wisdom the same way you do in every other supported game. Just follow these steps:

  1. Pause the game
  2. Navigate to the amiibo option
  3. Tap any amiibo from the Legend of Zelda series to your controller
  4. Accept your reward

To scan your amiibo, your controller must have NFC capability. In the case of Nintendo controllers (and officially licensed controllers) that's basically a given. If you're using a cheaper third-party controller though, it might not support NFC.

Where you actually scan your amiibo also depends on the controller you're playing Echoes of Wisdom with. Here's where to find the NFC sweet spot in each case.

Joy-Cons
The most likely controller you're using. Scan your amiibo just over the analog stick on the right Joy-Con.
Pro Controller
The NFC point can be found directly over the Nintendo logo on the front-center of the controller.
Switch Lite
Very similar to the Joy-Con method. You'll find the NFC point directly over the right-hand stick.

Echoes of Wisdom amiibo rewards

Unlike Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom, unlocks for Echoes of Wisdom are a bit more limited. There are three exclusive costumes locked to amiibo, but outside of that, the rewards are fairly basic.

Clothing

Note: You can only unlock clothing from your amiibo after you've completed the fourth main dungeon, Hyrule Castle Dungeon.
