Nintendo has no plans for amiibo support in Zelda: Tri Force Heroes

Most Nintendo games these days incorporate amiibo functionality in one way or another. The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, however, will not.

Director Hiromasa Shikata told IGN that Tri Force Heroes “isn’t a natural fit” for amiibo. “There’s no reason to shoehorn it in,” he added.

Shikata’s words in full:

“I think it’s really something as simple as this game isn’t a natural fit for it. I think [that’s] because we’re focused on giving players the ability to choose different outfits to impact their experience within the game. We didn’t think amiibo added anything other than what games with it are already doing. There’s no reason to shoehorn it in.”
