How to get Tulin, Mineru, and Zelda items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

1 week ago 3

The Legend of Zelda items and characters are now in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as part of the 3.0 update. You'll need amiibo (or a friend with amiibo) to add them to your island, but very specific amiibo will bring in certain characters.

Below we explain how to invite Tulin and Mineru to your island, as well as how to get Zelda-themed items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

How to invite Tulin and Mineru to your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Mineru, as seen when summoned via amiibo in ACNH

If you want these two sages in your game, you'll need to scan specific amiibo at the ATM-like Nook Stop machine in the Resident Services building, after building a campsite on your island. This will bring them to your island as campers. After they've appeared on your island a few times and you've fulfilled any requests they have, they will eventually accept your invitation to stay as a resident, so long as you have an open spot on your island. (Remember, you can only have up to 10 villagers total.)

Tulin is a male jock villager and Mineru is a female snooty villager.

The following amiibo will need to be scanned to unlock the specific character:

How to get Zelda items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

To get The Legend of Zelda items, you'll just need to scan any of the above Zelda amiibo at the Nook Stop. Once you do this, you'll be able to order any of these items from the Nook Shopping app on your phone, under the "Promotion" tab.

If you don't have any amiibo, you can ask a friend with these items unlocked to mail them to you. The friend in question will just have to pick "Send as Gift" rather than "Place Order" when grabbing the items from the shop. So long as both of you have Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions, you should be able to get these goods in the mail. You can also have a friend physically bring you the items, dropping them on your island, if you'd rather do that, too.

Here's a list of the items you can buy from Nook Shopping:
