==Unlocking amiibo==
Before amiibo can be used, Link must first acquire the [[Paraglider]] and leave the [[Great Plateau]]. Once this is done, the option to enable amiibo will be available in the system menu.


After turning on amiibo in the system menu, a new [[amiibo (Rune)|amiibo Rune]] will be in the [[rune]] menu, all the way to the right. Use this rune and target an open spot on the ground. This preps the game to receive an amiibo. Tap the amiibo figure to the controller as usual to activate the amiibo.

* Wolf Link has a default health of 3 hearts, however, using the game ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD|Twilight Princess HD]]'', his maximum health can be increased. To do so, collect as many [[Twilight Princess Heart Pieces|Pieces of Heart]] and [[Heart Container]]s as possible in ''Twilight Princess HD'', and then use the Wolf Link amiibo to run the [[Cave of Shadows]] in that game. The health remaining at the end of the trial will become the maximum health in ''Breath of the Wild''. Note that the best method (for ''Breath of the Wild'''s sake) is to first collect the maximum of 20 hearts (all heart containers and pieces) before ever entering the Cave of Shadows, the 5-level trial, and use the Wolf Link amiibo to heal Link immediately before completing the trial. If the 15 and 30-level versions are also completed, all three results are recorded on the amiibo, and ''Breath of the Wild'' will use the highest result of the three.

* Wolf Link can be summoned as many times as wished, unless he dies. Then he will be put on the same once-a-day timer as all other amiibo. If he dies, an an autosave or manual save where he was still alive can be reloaded to circumvent the timer.

* Wolf Link can be healed if he has taken damage. Simply drop anything edible near him. If he is not at full health, he will seek out edible items on his own (including rare items), unless commanded to stay or Link picks them up before he eats them.

* Even if an enemy has noticed Wolf Link, this does not mean he has noticed Link. It is possible to get behind an enemy focusing on Wolf Link and [[Sneakstrike]] them from behind for critical damage. This is more difficult if the enemy has noticed both Link and Wolf Link, however, as an enemy that has noticed both will tend to focus on Link instead of Wolf Link.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*All amiibo armor and weapon items can be summoned repeatedly, but the former have one condition: the armor items belonging to sets available through amiibo will initially appear consecutively at random, meaning that (for instance) the player won't summon two [[Cap of the Wind|Caps of the Wind]] in a row until the set is complete ([[Cap of the Wind|Cap]]+[[Tunic of the Wind|Tunic]]+[[Trousers of the Wind|Trousers]] in any order). Once the set is complete, duplicate armor items may appear. This condition doesn't apply to single armor items like [[Sheik's Mask]], as it's not formally part of a whole set obtainable through amiibo.
*None of the amiibo weapons have entries in the [[Hyrule Compendium]].
*None of the armor set items available through amiibo exceed a defense of 20 at a ★★★★ upgrade level, save from the four Divine Beast Helms. The base game on its own has the [[Soldier's Set]], the [[Ancient Set]], the Set of the Wild as well as the [[Amber Earrings]] and [[Diamond Circlet]], all with a top defense of 28, and the [[Champion's Tunic]] which has a top defense of 32. The Divine Beast Helms ([[Vah Ruta Divine Helm|Ruta]], [[Vah Rudania Divine Helm|Rudania]], [[Vah Naboris Divine Helm|Naboris]] and [[Vah Medoh Divine Helm|Medoh]]) are part of the [[Ancient Set]], but unlike the [[Ancient Helm]] they do not provide protection against [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]], so they reduce the set's effectiveness in that respect.

This condition doesn't apply to single armor items like [[Sheik's Mask]], as it's not formally part of a whole set obtainable through amiibo, or to amiibo-exclusive weapons, even if the amiibo summons the previously mentioned sets, as they can appear at any point.

*Most of the armor sets summoned through amiibo (except the [[Fierce Deity Set]]) are notoriously difficult to upgrade because, as a whole, they require the use of a significant number of [[Star Fragment]]s, which are among the most precious and rare resources in the game, all while being notoriously grueling to farm.
