When do you unlock amiibo support in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake?
You can't use amiibo immediately in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake. You will need to finish the opening prologue section and complete The Great Deku Tree (dungeon). Once you watch the cut-scenes, you will need to exit the forest by heading to the west. After you have received the Fairy Ocarina from Saria, you reach Hyrule Field. This is when you can enable the amiibo functionality in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake.
