Animal Crossing: New Horizons hides Tulin, Mineru, and Zelda items from Tears of the Kingdom-grab them through this guide’s steps.
How to invite Tulin and Mineru to your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Invite Tulin, Mineru, and Zelda items to your island by completing relevant Nintendo and Zelda collaboration tasks, then visit Harv’s Island or the Resident Services plaza to redeem their items from the seasonal event catalog and use Nook Stop to claim earned rewards.
If you want these two sages in your game, you’ll need to scan specific amiibo at the ATM-like Nook Stop machine in the Resident Services building, after building a campsite on your island. This will bring them to your island as campers. After they’ve appeared on your island a few times and you’ve fulfilled any requests they have, they will eventually accept your invitation to stay as a resident, so long as you have an open spot on your island. (Remember, you can only have up to 10 villagers total.)
Tulin is a male jock villager and Mineru is a female snooty villager.
The following amiibo will need to be scanned to unlock the specific character:

How to get Zelda items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Zelda items can be unlocked by using Zelda amiibo at the Nook Stop terminal after updating to version 3.0, then you can order the items from the Nook Stop catalog. Tulin and Mineru can join your campsite as villagers by inviting them with compatible Zelda amiibo, expanding how you can display the Zelda content on your island. For a complete list of Zelda-themed items and their locations, see the item list and how-to guides available from major outlets covering ACNH 3.0.
To get The Legend of Zelda items, you’ll just need to scan any of the above Zelda amiibo at the Nook Stop. Once you do this, you’ll be able to order any of these items from the Nook Shopping app on your phone, under the “Promotion” tab.
If you don’t have any amiibo, you can ask a friend with these items unlocked to mail them to you. The friend in question will just have to pick “Send as Gift” rather than “Place Order” when grabbing the items from the shop. So long as both of you have Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions, you should be able to get these goods in the mail. You can also have a friend physically bring you the items, dropping them on your island, if you’d rather do that, too.

Scanning any Zelda amiibo unlocks both villagers as campsite options (specific amiibo determines which appears first) and the full Zelda item catalog. Key Amiibo Assignments
Multiple scans may be required if the villager declines initially; campsite must be built. Which specific amiibo summon Tulin onlyNo amiibo summons Tulin exclusively. Zelda amiibo are divided into two broad categories: those that trigger Tulin at the campsite (primarily Link variants and Rito-related figures) and those that trigger Mineru (primarily Zelda/Sheik variants and certain others). Overlaps exist, like Revali amiibo potentially working for both depending on sources. Tulin-Exclusive AmiiboThese are most reliably associated only with Tulin, with no mention in Mineru lists:
