We’ve highlighted all the amiibo that are compatible with Breath of the Wild and everything you can get in the game so you can decide which figures you want to collect.
Breath of the Wild Zelda amiibo
The Zelda amiibo grants the potential for a chest to contain a Hylian shield. This can be found in-game as well so you don’t need the amiibo to get it, but it does increase your chances. Other contents of chests spawned with this amiibo include star fragments, gems, and other assorted shields.
You’ll also get a random assortment of herbs, flowers, and vegetables occasionally.

Breath of the Wild Guardian Amiibo
This amiibo has the potential to drop guardian weapons and shields, guardian arrows, and ancient cores from chests, which makes it worth the extra cost since guardian weapons and shields are often pretty useful and do a lot of damage.
Instead of spawning with extra items, it spawns with a few extra metal chests that you can break open to get gems, rupees, arrows, and extra machine parts inside.

This amiibo is unique in that it doesn’t spawn any items for you. Instead, you’ll get a wolf companion who will accompany you in game. His hearts are based on saved data transferred from the Wii U version of Twilight Princess HD, but he defaults to having three hearts. He’ll help you hunt and attack enemies in game.
