What

No Loot Boxes ensures that amiibo chests will contain a rare item if you would normally be eligible for one. For example, if you use the Skyward Sword Zelda amiibo, then the amiibo chest is guaranteed* to contain the Goddess Fabric.

Why

Just like in Breath of the Wild, using amiibo in Tears of the Kingdom is like receiving loot boxes in other games. It's like playing the lottery where the ticket price is your time and patience and the reward is that you can finally stop grinding for the Mirror of Twilight Fabric. I wanted to bypass all that and just get the rare amiibo items without the grind.

How

This mod alters the drop tables for amiibo so that all non-zero probabilities of receiving a rare item are raised to near 100%. In other words, if you're at a point in the game where you could receive a rare item from an amiibo, then you will.*

* Due to how the drop tables are configured, there is a small chance that you will not receive a rare item. This is to ensure that once you receive the rare item, like the fabric or armor set, you will continue to receive useful items like weapons, bows, and shields when you use the amiibo.

Installation

To use this mod with Tears of the Kingdom v1.2.0 or later, use the latest version of No Loot Boxes v3. To use this mod with Tears of the Kingdom v1.1.x, use the latest version of No Loot Boxes v2.

Switch

Your Switch must be hacked/modded to install this mod, and you must be running Atmosphere 1.5.4 or later. Copy the romfs folder into the /atmosphere/contents/0100F2C0115B6000 folder on your SD card. It should look like /atmosphere/contents/0100F2C0115B6000/romfs.

Yuzu

Open Yuzu. Right-click Tears of the Kingdom > Open Mod Data Location. Copy the NoLootBoxes folder into that folder. It should look like load/0100F2C0115B6000/NoLootBoxes/romfs.

Ryujinx

Open Ryujinx. Right-click Tears of the Kingdom > Open Mods Directory. Copy the NoLootBoxes folder into that folder. It should look like mods/contents/0100F2C0115B6000/NoLootBoxes/romfs.

Compatibility

This mod was tested with Tears of the Kingdom v1.1.0 through v1.2.0. Your mileage may vary with other versions of the game.

This mod is not compatible with any mod that alters romfs/Pack/ResidentCommon.pack.zs.

Specifically, this mod alters Game/AmiiboSetting/AmiiboSetting.game__ui__AmiiboSetting.bgyml inside ResidentCommon.pack.zs, so it can be merged with any mod that also alters ResidentCommon.pack.zs.

Help

If you encounter any bugs, have any questions, or need any help, please use GitHub discussions. This way I will be immediately notified. I don't check sites like GameBanana and Nexus Mods every day, and I don't receive email notifications from them, so if you post something there, I might not see it for weeks for even months.

Drops

These are the chest items that amiibo will drop with this mod. Items in bold should appear first. Once you have obtained all bold items, you should begin receiving the rest of the items. Items marked with ✨ are weapons that have not been corrupted by gloom.
