Thankfully, every amiibo that worked for Breath of the Wild will still be useable in Tears of the Kingdom but with different rewards. And as it turns out, Animal Crossing amiibos and cards will also work when scanned.

Scanning 'Animal Crossing' amiibos and cards will give players random materials in 'Tears of the Kingdom.'
According to players on Reddit, Animal Crossing amiibos and cards will give random materials in Tears of the Kingdom once scanned.
"Yes, they work," one Reddit player explained. "You get random materials, typically one meat and things like mushrooms and herbs."
Another user on the thread corroborated this claim, "Yeah, all non-Zelda amiibos work, so the cards do as well. You get a random assortment of materials from them. Around 3-5 things."
Around every 24 hours, players can scan these figurines to get a little pile of goodies for cooking or mixing together an Elixir or two in the open-world game.

However, some players reported Animal Crossing cards didn't work for them when scanned:
"Why do I get an error sound when I try to scan a card?" said a Reddit player. "I used an Animal Crossing amiibo, and it worked, but it won't accept any of the cards I've tried."
It's unclear what Animal Crossing cards won't scan for Tears of the Kingdom as of this writing, so we recommend only using the amiibos until Nintendo specifies which ones will work.
