While attention is focused on rumors of an The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, Nintendo has also confirmed new content for the “Wild Era” of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which may mark one of its final updates.
Announced via Nintendo Today, the update celebrates the game’s third anniversary with new content and an upcoming amiibo featuring Mineru’s Construct, the mechanical body Link builds in the Depths during the Spirit Temple section. The amiibo is set to release on September 17 and also unlocks a special Mineru-themed paraglider fabric, reportedly with a glow-in-the-dark effect.
The figure itself is highly detailed, featuring movable arms as highlighted by Nintendo, making it a notable collectible for fans of the game.
However, the timing of the release has sparked discussion, as it coincides with Nintendo’s planned Switch 2 price increase from $450 to $500. Some fans see this as part of a broader transition away from the “Wild Era” of Zelda.
With rumors circulating about a possible Ocarina of Time remake and growing attention toward the upcoming live-action Zelda film, speculation is increasing that Nintendo may be moving toward a new phase for the franchise.
Additional reports also suggest a potential announcement window as early as June, with a possible holiday release for the rumored remake, alongside talk of a new 2D Zelda title in development.
Overall, the new Mineru amiibo serves as both a celebration of the Tears of the Kingdom era and a signal that this chapter of Zelda may be nearing its end.
