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. All of which will be compatible with the Animal Crossing 3.0 update in January 2026, as well.
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.
