The 3.0 update for *Animal Crossing: New Horizons* introduced a wealth of new content, including an exciting collection of items inspired by *The Legend of Zelda*. However, these special items aren’t immediately available after updating your game. Here’s how you can unlock and start collecting them.
## How to Unlock Zelda Items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
To unlock the Zelda-themed items, you’ll need an Amiibo figure or card based on a character from *The Legend of Zelda* series. Any Amiibo tied to Zelda characters or creatures will work—this includes figures like Link, Zelda, Revali, or even a Bokoblin.
### Step 1: Prepare Your Amiibo
Make sure you have your Zelda-themed Amiibo ready to scan. It can be any official Amiibo that originates from the Zelda universe.
### Step 2: Visit the Town Hall
Head to your Town Hall and interact with the Nook Stop terminal inside. From the menu, select **“Invite Camper.”**
### Step 3: Scan Your Amiibo
After selecting “Invite Camper,” you’ll be prompted to scan your Amiibo. Depending on which figure you scan, either Tulin or Mineru will visit your camp.
– **Tulin**: Invited by scanning certain Amiibo characters.
– **Mineru**: Invited by scanning others.
No matter who shows up, you’ll gain access to the Zelda-themed items. (If you want to know exactly which Amiibo corresponds to which character, comprehensive lists are available across the community!)
### Step 4: Shop for Zelda Items
Once Tulin or Mineru is at your camp, return to the Nook Stop terminal and select **“Nook Shopping.”** From there:
1. Choose **“Special Goods.”**
2. Use the **R** button to navigate to the **Promotion** section.
3. Scroll through to find a variety of Zelda-themed items available for purchase.
### Step 5: Wait for Delivery
Remember, items purchased through Nook Shopping won’t be available immediately. They will arrive in your in-game mailbox the following day, so a bit of patience is required before your Hyrule dreams can become reality.
