Hey guys! I know a lot of us in the Animal Crossing community specifically have a LOT of Amiibo and Amiibo cards. Even non-Zelda Amiibo/Amiibo cards have a use in Breath of the Wild!

All non-Zelda Amiibo and cards give a random number of random assorted food items. Which are super useful since cooking is so common for healing items! In addition, they can be used once per in game day! Which is SO often!!!

To access Amiibo functionality, go to the main menu and select Amiibo, and then enable functionality. 

It then appears as a Rune (like Bombs, Cryonis, Statis, etc.) and you use it as such!

Hold the UP! directional button to change Runes. Select it out of your Runes (it’s on the far right). Now press the L trigger to activate your Rune. Now all you need to do is hold your Amiibo or Amiibo card to the right analog stick.

And wham bam! You’re done! Food falling from the sky!

I’ve also done tons of cards and physical Amiibo and can say:

1. There is a limit of items that can be on the ground. Items will disappear if too much is on the screen!!!!!! Just to be safe so I don’t waste time/items I personally do 3 Amiibo scans and then pick everything up.

2. The food items are in no way pre-set; they’re random. I’ve tested the same card multiple in-game days in a row and gotten different drops. In addition, the Amiibo figure is recognized separately from it’s card counterpart. For example, a K.K. Slider Amiibo figure and a K.K. Slider Amiibo card are recognized as separate.

3. Double Amiibo and cards count as different physical Amiibo! Do you have 80 Animal Crossing Beau cards? Every. Single. One. can be used once per  in-game day, assuming you have the patience. They are recognized as separate!

Hopefully you learned something new and enjoy getting tons of food and making fun recipes! :D And as always feel free to ask me questions if you have them!
