Zelda amiibo Drop to Just $10, a Black Friday Deal So Good It Might Literally Be an Pricing Error
Nintendo fans can rejoice this Black Friday as the company has confirmed it will continue to support amiibo for the upcoming Switch 2. This news comes at a perfect time, as several beloved Zelda amiibo figures have seen their prices slashed to an incredible $9.99. Characters like Sidon, Riju, Tulin, and Yunobo are all available at this steep discount, with Amazon and Best Buy matching prices. Originally priced at $29.99, these amiibo are now being offered at a staggering 66% off, a deal that is unlikely to last long, given the aggressive nature of these discounts. With Black Friday sales already in full swing, collectors and gamers alike are encouraged to act quickly to secure these figures before prices are corrected.
The amiibo figures not only serve as collectibles but also enhance the gaming experience in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. By tapping any of these amiibo while playing, users can unlock exclusive content such as unique paraglider fabric, additional materials, and rare weapons. Furthermore, these amiibo can provide bonuses in other titles, including amiibo-exclusive Chamber Dungeons in The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and new Mii racing suits in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Additionally, with the recent Switch 2 upgrade, players are treated to improved frame rates and resolution, making the gameplay experience even more enjoyable. As Tom Marks noted in his review, this upgrade represents the way the game was always intended to be experienced, promising a smoother journey for both returning players and newcomers alike.
For those looking to capitalize on more Black Friday deals, the IGN Deals team has compiled an extensive list of discounts and offers, ensuring gamers don’t miss out on the best savings this holiday season. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Nintendo or just starting your collection, now is the perfect moment to grab those amiibo figures and enhance your gaming experience.
Nintendo thankfully isn’t dropping
amiibo support for Switch 2
, and right now that matters because some of the
best Zelda figures have quietly crashed to just $9.99
ahead of Black Friday.
Sidon, Riju, Tulin, and Yunobo are all heavily discounted as the Nintendo Black Friday sale kicks off today, and honestly, deals this aggressive usually disappear fast.
Amazon
has dropped Riju and Sidon to $9.99, while
Best Buy
has matched that price on
Tulin and Yunobo
. Street Fighter amiibo are also discounted for Black Friday, sitting at
$14.99 at Best Buy
, if that’s also of interest.
Each of these was supposedly only meant to get a $10 cut for Black Friday, so either the retailers blinked or someone mispriced them. Either way, grab all of these before the correction hits, because this will not last.
Each figure launched at $29.99, so seeing them down to $9.99 means you’re saving 66% and shaving $20 off every amiibo. That’s even stronger than the midyear sale, when they bottomed out between $14.99 and $19.99 at Amazon.
And if you’re wondering what they actually do in-game, all four of the Zelda figures unlock content in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, while the Street Fighter sets unlock content for Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2.
For the Zelda figures, tap any of them via NFC while playing Tears of the Kingdom and you’ll get exclusive paraglider fabric options, extra materials, and a weapon or rare item. Being part of the Zelda line also means they can unlock bonuses elsewhere. The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening includes amiibo-exclusive Chamber Dungeons, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe gives you a new Mii racing suit.
If you’re playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Switch 2 with the upgrade pack, you’re getting a much smoother ride. The update bumps up frame rate and resolution, cleaning up the original’s only real flaw, its performance.
As
Tom Marks put it in his review update
, ”This [Switch 2 upgrade] really does feel like the way this game was always meant to be played, and I’m thrilled by the idea of a new generation discovering it for the first time.” Hard to disagree.
