Nintendo has confirmed September 17, 2026 as the release date for the long-awaited Mineru's Construct amiibo from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, priced at $34.99 USD on the My Nintendo Store, with pre-orders already live at Amazon, GameStop, Target, and Best Buy. This is one of the last major Tears of the Kingdom characters still missing from the amiibo lineup, and the wait has clearly built up demand ahead of release.
Unlike a standard static amiibo, Mineru's Construct ships with articulated arms that collectors can pose, and tapping it in-game unlocks a chance at a unique paraglider design for Link in Tears of the Kingdom, along with random item drops in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment and Breath of the Wild. That combination of a posable figure and a genuinely new cosmetic unlock gives this release two distinct appeals rather than just one.
This guide covers what's confirmed about the figure, why the paraglider unlock matters, and which EVORETRO products make sense once it's out of the box.
According to Nintendo's official product listing and store pages, the figure is confirmed for a September 17, 2026 release across multiple retailers.
Pre-orders went live in stages in May 2026, with the US listing appearing first before UK and additional retailer pre-orders followed shortly after.
Mineru is one of the Sages in Tears of the Kingdom and King Rauru's elder sister, who helped her brother fight the Demon King in her role as the Sage of Spirit long ago. In the present-day story, she assists Link through a Zonai construct rather than appearing in her original form, which is exactly what this amiibo represents: the mechanical construct body rather than a standard humanoid figure.
Tapping the amiibo in Tears of the Kingdom gives a chance at a special fabric design for Link's paraglider, on top of the random item drops available across all three compatible games. Nintendo hasn't detailed exact drop rates or guaranteed unlocks, so treat the paraglider design as a possible reward from repeated taps rather than a guaranteed one-time unlock.
Most amiibo are static figures meant to be displayed exactly as molded. Mineru's Construct breaking from that with articulated arms gives collectors more flexibility in how it's displayed, but it also means the figure benefits from a stand or riser that can accommodate different poses rather than a fixed display slot.
For collectors planning to keep Mineru's Construct sealed or simply want to protect the box before opening it, EVORETRO's small amiibo PET protector is sized for standard single-character amiibo packaging and keeps the window box free of scuffs and dust.
If Mineru's Construct ships in a bigger box format than a typical single-character amiibo, given its more elaborate construct design, EVORETRO's larger single standard amiibo protector gives it the same corner and surface protection without squeezing the packaging.
Since the articulated arms are the whole point of this figure, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers give a posed Mineru's Construct a stable, elevated spot on a shelf instead of trying to balance it flat next to static amiibo figures.
To get ready for Mineru's Construct's September 17 release, start with these:
September 17, 2026, priced at $34.99 USD on the My Nintendo Store, with pre-orders also live at Amazon, GameStop, Target, and Best Buy.
Tapping it gives a chance at a unique paraglider design for Link in Tears of the Kingdom, along with random item drops in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment and Breath of the Wild.
It has articulated arms that can be posed, rather than shipping as a fixed static figure like most amiibo.
She's one of the game's Sages and King Rauru's elder sister, helping Link in the present day through a Zonai construct rather than her original form.
Mineru's Construct closes out one of the last remaining gaps in the Tears of the Kingdom amiibo lineup, and the posable design plus paraglider unlock give it real appeal beyond just filling out a collection. Whether you're planning to keep it sealed or display it fully posed, having the right protection and stand ready before September 17 is the easiest way to start things off right.
Keep an eye on My Nintendo Store and major retailers for stock updates as the release date approaches.
