11 New Songs Out Today to Listen To: Snail Mail, Courtney Barnett, and More

There’s so much music coming out all the time that it’s hard to keep track. On those days when the influx of new tracks is particularly overwhelming, we sift through the noise to bring you a curated list of the most interesting new releases (the best of which will be added to our Best New Songs playlist). Below, check out our track roundup for Tuesday, January 20, 2026.

Snail Mail – ‘Dead End’

Snail Mail’s first album since 2021’s Valentine is on the way. Ricochet was recorded with Momma’s Aron Kobayashi Ritch at Fidelitorium Recordings, and the producer/bassist’s fingerprints are all over the lead single ‘Dead End’. That guitar riff shoots for the stars before the “nah nah nahs” rush in; the whole song is a blast. “We shot the video for ‘Dead End’ in random places all around rural North Carolina between the hours of 5pm and 4am on one of the coldest nights of my life,” Lindsey Jordan said of the accompanying music video she made with Elsie Richter. “The goal was to be inconspicuous with the fireworks, but someone called the cops on us.”

Courtney Barnett – ‘Site Unseen’ [feat. Waxahatchee]

Courtney Barnett has returned with news of her next album, Creature of Habit, which will land on March 27. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Site Unseen’, which features harmony vocals from Katie Crutchfield, aka Waxahatchee. “I tried three separate times over two years to track this song, and each time it either wasn’t finished or didn’t sound right, and each time we had to start again,” Barnett explained. “I kept hearing this really high harmony in my head, so for the fourth and final version, I asked Katie if she’d be into singing it with me. I’m a big Waxahatchee fan. I really love Katie’s songwriting and her voice, so it was an honour to have her sing on Site Unseen.”

Bill Callahan – ‘Stepping Out for Air’

Stepping out for air: a good thing. You should probably take this moment to do it. ‘Stepping Out for Air’: good song. Really good, in fact. It’s the third single from Bill Callahan’s new album My Days of 58, following ‘The Man I’m Supposed to Be’ and ‘Lonely City’. In a statement, the singer-songwriter explained: “This is the song with the oldest origins on the album, tho it was never fully finished until just before the 58 sessions. It existed in some form about 15 years ago when it was intended as part of a record I planned to make with Jim White and Warren Ellis. Logistics seemed impossible because Warren was on endless Nick Cave tours so that project evaporated. Maybe it’ll form as a rain cloud and rain down on us someday. I held on to the song and it finally found a home on this record as the world cycled back into it having relevance. I like this song. It feels good.”

Cat Clyde – ‘Another Time’

Canadian singer-songwriter Cat Clyde has announced a new album, Mud Blood Bone, which is out March 13 via Concord Records. Produced with Drew Vandenberg (Toro Y Moi, Faye Webster, S.G. Goodman) and featuring a co-write with Courtney Marie Andrews, the record is led by the swaying ‘Another Time’. “While writing this song, I was pondering my experience of connection and intimacy, alongside the reality that life is constantly moving and changing,” Clyde reflected. “Thinking about the power to bottle up and lean into meaningful moments and memories. Considering how bittersweet it is for beautiful moments to be, knowing they all become a ripple in time. Wondering about different timelines – time is not linear. Having the power to shift myself and my reality into new timelines, and different selves. This song speaks to the grief and the joy of evolving constantly.”

Cardinals – ‘I Like You’

Cardinals are gearing up for the release of their debut album Masquerade, which is out in less than a month. Today, the Cork, Ireland outfit has shared the stirring ‘I Like You’, about which frontman Euan Manning said: “This is the first song we wrote with the album in mind. After a very long period of not working on anything we started and finished this some bright morning last February in our practice studio. It felt cathartic, a completely grounding moment after feeling slightly lost for months.” He added, “The first lyric is stripped/paraphrased from the tune ‘My Funny Valentine’. I don’t think it was written by Chet Baker but that’s the version we know.”

Horsepower – ‘Force Quit’

Horsepower, the project of Brooklyn-based musician Charlotte Weinman, has shared a new song co-produced by Model/Actriz’s Ruben Radlauer. Don’t expect ‘Force Quit’ to sound anything like Ralauer’s band, though; it hews a lot closer to the hushed folk Charlotte’s brother Noah Weinman makes as Runnner – hushed, that is, until it explodes. It follows previous single ‘Flute’. “If ‘Flute’ is about an effortful quest for peace, ‘Force Quit’ is the exhausted surrender,” Weinman explained. “I wanted the song to first unfold cautiously and then completely unravel. When it comes time to unravel, we had a lot of fun making this behemoth wall of guitars. I screamed into the pickups, into the mic we had set up at the amp, and into the vocal mic, and we tucked those all throughout the last section.”

Liz Cooper – ‘Baby Steps’

‘Baby Steps’ is “the beginning of my new day,” Liz Cooper said of her lovely new single from her forthcoming album New Day. “I was falling in love while simultaneously going through heartbreak over and over again and I really wanted this to be the last song on the record as sort of a hopeful send off. All of the songs and the stories lead up to this one.”

Immaterialize – ‘Everything But Myself’ [feat. Fire-Toolz]

Immaterialize, the Chicago-based dream-pop duo of Lipsticism (aka Alana Schachtel) and DJ Immaterial (aka Erik Fure), are releasing their debut album Perfect this Friday. Its final single, the mesmerizing ‘Everything But Myself’, features Fire-Toolz, who mastered the LP. “I shared everything but myself” is the kind of hook that lodges itself into your head.

Telescreens – ‘Preacher’

NYC’s Telescreens have dropped a driving new single, ‘Preacher’, alongside a Jack Cohen-directed video. “‘Preacher’ is about the debaucherous things we worship as a society,” frontman Jackson Hamm said in a statement. “We build people up as hero’s, icons, rulers of our culture, only to relish in the sight of their fall. This song is about being a dancing monkey, the dark natures of addiction, the highs that come from the spotlight and the lows that follow. And all the while they call you a preacher.”

Jackie West – ‘Course of Action’

Jackie West has unveiled ‘Course of Action’, a heartfelt, sneakily propulsive new single from her forthcoming album Silent Century. The record comes out February 27 via Ruination Record Co.

Hen Ogledd – ‘Clara’

Hen Ogledd have released ‘Clara’, the second single from their forthcoming album DISCOMBOBULATED. The track, pastoral and off-kilter, features Will Guthrie (drums, percussion), Faye MacCalman (saxophone, clarinet), Chris Watson (recording of horse snorts) and Laura Phillips (recording of projector), and sleigh bells coming courtesy of Dawn Bothwell.

Exploring Mastery Through Repetition: “Handle with Ease” at Yang Collective

LONG ISLAND CITY, NY. – Yang Collective presents “Handle with Ease,” a two-person exhibition featuring works by Davina Hsu and Shuyao Huang, on view January 15–February 5, 2026 at Yang Collective (24-20 Jackson Ave, STE 208, Long Island City, NY 11101). Curated by Yang Hsu, the exhibition brings together two distinct practices: Hsu’s rhythmic needle felting and Huang’s painting built through repeated lines, to consider a state of mastery in which repetition no longer reads as labor, but as quiet control. The exhibition’s opening reception drew a strong audience from New York’s contemporary art community, including collectors, curators, critics, and arts professionals, reflecting the great interest surrounding the artists’ practices. 

The exhibition takes its cue from the Chinese idiom 游刃有餘 (yóu rèn yǒu yú), often associated with effortless precision: a level of skill so refined that complexity can be navigated with calm assurance. In Handle with Ease, that idea is translated into material terms. Both artists rely on sustained, disciplined gestures that accumulate over time, binding fiber into density, or layering marks into depth, until form appears less “made” than patiently revealed.

As a visual artist whose painting explores perception, color, and spatial construction through disciplined repetition and careful observation, Shuyao Huang’s paintings are built from a disciplined accumulation of gestures. Rather than relying on overt narrative or dramatic imagery, her works develop spatial complexity through repeated lines, measured pacing, and subtle tonal shifts. This approach gives the surface a quietly insistent presence: the longer one looks, the more the painting’s internal logic becomes apparent. Huang’s language is restrained but not static. Its energy comes from consistency and resolution, from decisions made and sustained across the canvas.

A key work in the exhibition, White Absent; Motion Present (2024), demonstrates Huang’s interest in how perception can be redirected through material hierarchy. In this painting, white is not treated as background; it is deliberately advanced as an active element through thicker, more tactile brushwork. By contrast, red and gray remain thin and translucent, allowing the white passages to hold the foreground and set the rhythm of the composition. The effect is subtle but persuasive: what might initially appear minimal becomes increasingly dimensional, as the viewer registers shifts in weight, texture, and depth created by the paint itself.

Another featured painting by Shuyao Huang, Temperature (2023), extends this investigation through the relationship between color, layering, and optical depth. Working in oil, Huang balances opacity and transparency to generate a sense of motion across the surface. The painting’s structure encourages sustained looking: forms and tensions appear gradually, as if the work reveals itself at the pace of attention.

Shuyao Huang’s paintings in “Handle with Ease” articulate a nuanced understanding of space as something constructed, not illustrated. They show a painter attentive to how meaning can be carried by pressure, interval, and restraint—how a limited vocabulary, pushed with precision, can open a surprisingly expansive field. The exhibition’s quiet confidence lies in this exactness: Huang’s works do not overstate their claims, but they hold them steadily, with a clarity that feels earned.

Hong Hua On Working With Taco Bell for Super Bowl Ad, Empowering Fans With AI-Enhanced Tech

In the perennial arms race for Super Bowl ad supremacy, where brands typically rely on Hollywood A-listers to move the needle, Taco Bell took a decidedly different approach for its 2025 Big Game return. 

Rather than leaning on its history of celebrity-filled spots (they’ve previously worked with Doja Cat), the fast-food giant put its “Live Más” philosophy to the test by featuring several hundred die-hard fans—derisively termed “a bunch of randos”—in a 30-second commercial airing during the third quarter of Super Bowl LIX.

But these aren’t just stock photos. These customers earned their screen time by pulling through the drive-thru. The campaign, which leveraged a custom-built, roaming photo booth called the “Live Más Drive-Thru Cam,” combined large-scale logistics, experiential design, and artificial intelligence to turn a routine fast-food run into a broadcast-quality production set.

From Drive-Thru to the Big Game

The concept was rooted in authenticity. According to Taylor Montgomery, Taco Bell’s Chief Marketing Officer, the brand wanted to spotlight the “incredible Live Más spirit” fans bring to the restaurant every day. 

“So we’re putting them in the spotlight as a reminder that the most authentic representation of our brand isn’t staged—it’s lived,” Montgomery said in a statement.

To execute this, Taco Bell partnered with Deeplocal, an experience design and creative technology agency based in Pittsburgh, to build a tech-enabled installation that integrated directly into drive-thru lanes. Over the course of the activation, more than 3,000 customers across five states opted in simply by pulling through designated drive-thru locations, transforming routine food runs into spontaneous casting calls for one of the most-watched broadcasts in the world.

The initiative wasn’t entirely devoid of star power, however. In a meta-twist, longtime collaborators LeBron James and Doja Cat make brief cameos in the final spot. Their role, however, is to stand off to the side and complain about being relegated to the background, serving as a punchline that reinforces the campaign’s focus on the everyday fans.

Engineering the “Live Más” Experience

Hong Hua, an experience designer at Deeplocal, led the physical and experiential design of the Live Más Drive-Thru Cam. His challenge was to reimagine the drive-thru as a scalable, repeatable capture environment capable of delivering footage suitable for national broadcast.

“The core strategy was to replace celebrities with real Taco Bell fans as the stars of its Super Bowl commercial,” Hua explained. “That required designing a system that could integrate seamlessly into existing drive-thru infrastructure while operating at broadcast standards.”

The system was designed to be frictionless. After receiving their orders, customers drove into the arch, where they were met with two giant cameras and guided prompts. The structure needed to be visually iconic, adaptable to different vehicle sizes, fast enough to avoid disrupting operations, and robust enough to withstand a multi-state tour across locations in Los Angeles, Middleburg Heights (Ohio), Cookeville (Tennessee), Houston, and Wauchula (Florida).

The activation’s success was later recognized by industry peers, earning an Adweek Experiential Award for Best Use of Drive-Up Experience, a Silver at the Event Marketer Ex Awards, and a Silver at The Drum Awards.

The Role of AI in Interactive Design

While the concept was analog, the execution relied heavily on modern technology. Hua noted that AI played a pivotal role in both the user-facing experience and the internal workflow. From a user perspective, the installation utilized AI-driven technologies, including vehicle detection to automatically trigger the experience and facial recognition to intelligently crop wide-angle images into optimal compositions. These technologies eliminated interaction hurdles, allowing customers to remain fully present in the moment rather than navigating instructions or interfaces.

On the backend, AI tools accelerated the concepting phase in the design process. “An AI-generated reference from our agency partner provided an initial visualization of scale, structure, and intent, which helped accelerate alignment across teams,” Hua said.

However, Hua emphasizes that AI remains a tool for augmentation rather than a replacement for the designer. “My value as a multidisciplinary designer lies in integrating physical design, interaction design, technology, and storytelling into cohesive systems—an approach that remains fundamentally human-driven,” he said.

A Record-Breaking Moment

The stakes for the campaign are high. Super Bowl LIX, airing in February 2025, is expected to draw a record average of 127.7 million viewers in the U.S.—roughly one-third of the country.

By swapping out scripts for spontaneity and celebrities for everyday fans, Taco Bell is making a high-stakes bet: that the most compelling story on television could emerge from a drive-thru lane—where technology, design, and cultural insight align.

Casino Imagery Continues to Shape Contemporary Film Aesthetics

Casino Imagery Continues to Shape Contemporary Film Aesthetics

Casinos have long occupied a distinctive place in cinema, operating as more than glamorous backdrops. Their visual language—neon glow, mirrored surfaces, ritualised movement—allows filmmakers to communicate risk and desire without a word of dialogue. From classic thrillers to contemporary indie dramas, these spaces condense character motivation into architecture.

What makes casino imagery endure is its flexibility. The same roulette wheel can suggest aspiration or self-destruction, depending on how a scene is framed. Directors and production designers lean on that ambiguity, trusting audiences to recognise the emotional shorthand instantly.

That shorthand is evolving as well. As real-world gambling moves toward screens and digital wallets, films increasingly mirror that shift through stylised interfaces, minimalist dashboards, and techno-luxe lighting. Audiences familiar with online ecosystems, including top bitcoin casinos, immediately recognise these cues, which reflect speed, transparency, and global accessibility. The appeal of these platforms—instant transactions, reduced friction, and a borderless digital feel—translates visually into cinema, where such imagery signals modern risk culture and decentralised control without the need for heavy exposition.

Casinos As Visual Storytelling Devices

In film language, casinos function like narrative accelerators. A single tracking shot across a gaming floor can establish stakes, power dynamics, and emotional temperature. The symbolism is so established that it often replaces backstory, letting design do the heavy lifting.

Production design amplifies this effect. Lighting tends toward extremes—either oppressive darkness or blinding opulence—while sound design layers constant motion beneath dialogue. Together, these elements externalise a character’s inner calculus, turning decision-making into spectacle.

Luxury, Risk, And Cinematic Space

Few films demonstrate this better than Casino Royale. The 2006 reboot famously embedded playing card graphics into its opening credits, using them as metaphors for romance and betrayal. The sequence primes viewers to read every subsequent casino scene as a psychological duel, not just a game.

Across genres, similar strategies recur. Smoke-filled rooms, reflective tables, and choreographed stillness frame characters at moments of moral testing. Genre cinema, in particular, leans into this.

Digital Gambling In Modern Narratives

Recent films and series have begun translating these motifs into digital form. Physical tables give way to holographic overlays and glowing interfaces, preserving the tension while updating the look. The effect mirrors contemporary life, where risk is often mediated through screens rather than felt in physical spaces.

Crucially, the moral spectrum remains intact. Digital casinos on screen still oscillate between promise and peril, allowing filmmakers to interrogate addiction, control, and anonymity in ways that feel current without being didactic.

Why Casino Settings Still Captivate Audiences

For audiences steeped in visual media, casino imagery remains instantly legible. It compresses luxury, danger, and choice into a single frame, freeing stories to move faster and cut deeper. That efficiency explains why, even as aesthetics modernise, the core symbolism endures.

In contemporary cinema, casinos are less about gambling itself and more about decision-making under pressure. As long as filmmakers need a space that makes inner conflict visible, the casino—physical or digital—will keep its seat at the table.

With the global online casino industry expected to reach a market size of $172.8 billion by 2033, the influence of casinos on contemporary movies is certain to continue.

Four Ceramicists Pushing the Boundaries of Clay

Four Ceramicists Pushing the Boundaries of Clay

Once relegated to the potter’s wheel and the dinner table, ceramics has experienced a spectacular renaissance. What was once primarily a functional craft has become a medium for boundless experimentation, with artists around the world reimagining what’s possible with clay. Here are four ceramicists whose work is well worth following — each bringing delightful surprises in dimension, colour and sculptural invention.

    1. Maryam Yousif

      Those distinctively serene, wide-eyed faces are unmistakably Maryam Yousif’s. The Baghdad-born, San Francisco-based ceramicist creates works where human forms dissolve into flowers, sprout leaves, or fuse with vessels and objects, exploring the porous boundaries between body and nature. A 2023 Fleishhacker Foundation Eureka Fellowship Grant recipient, her work is part of the permanent collections at the Museum of Arts and Design and the Denver Art Museum.

    2. Woody de Othello

      Woody De Othello’s ceramic sculptures occupy a fascinating, enchanted territory where household items and body parts develop animated personalities. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, the artist crafts work infused with the improvisational energy of jazz and house music, as well as his study of African history.

    3. Jessica Stoller

      Working from West New York, Jessica Stoller transforms porcelain into a medium for feminist expression, creating figurative sculptures where bodies flaunt, indulge and transgress with unapologetic pleasure. Her work builds an alluring visual vocabulary where defiance and desire take center stage.

      4. Kaori Kurihara

      Paris-based Japanese artist Kaori Kurihara creates ceramic sculptures that convincingly blur the line between fantasy and reality. Trained in pottery at SEIKA University in Kyoto and later in jewellery-making in France, she breathes life into meticulously detailed fruits and botanicals, both recognisable and imagined.

Tell Me Lies Season 4: Cast, Rumours & Release Date

Tell Me Lies is back with season 3, and the drama is messier than ever. Didn’t think that was possible? Lucy and Stephen are ready to prove you wrong.

The show, which premiered in 2022, quickly built a reputation for being addictive. That continues to be the case, as this season dives deeper into the chaos that typically surrounds the main couple.

That said, there have been rumblings that this installment will be the show’s last. Is that true, or should we expect more episodes?

Tell Me Lies Season 4 Release Date

At the time of writing, there’s no official word on Tell Me Lies season 4. The shows hasn’t been either renewed or cancelled yet. Creator Meaghan Oppenheimer did mention that season 3 is the ending she envisioned for the series. Still, she isn’t ruling out anything.

“In terms of future seasons, it’s impossible to really know at this point. I certainly had always thought this was always more or less the ending I’d had in mind. But you never know what’s going to happen in the future,” Oppenheimer told Us Weekly.

Ultimately, it may simply depend on whether the show is a hit. As long as fans keep tuning in, another season isn’t out of the question. More episodes could premiere in early 2027.

Tell Me Lies Cast

  • Grace Van Patten as Lucy Albright
  • Jackson White as Stephen DeMarco
  • Catherine Missal as Bree
  • Spencer House as Mike Wrigley
  • Sonia Mena as Pippa
  • Branden Cook as Evan
  • Tom Ellis as Oliver

What Could Happen in Tell Me Lies Season 4?

Inspired by Carola Lovering’s novel, Tell Me Lies revolves around Lucy and Stephen, whose toxic, on-again/off-again romance begins when they meet as college students in 2007.

The show tracks how their intense emotional connection and toxicity shape not only their lives but also the lives of their friends over the course of a few years. It seamlessly moves between multiple timelines, showing how decisions made in youth reverberate well into adulthood.

In season 3, Lucy and Stephen have rekindled their relationship. Still, old patterns and trust issues continue to bubble under the surface. Expect the friend group to be tested to extremes, and for everyone to confront their bad decisions.

If Tell Me Lies season 4 happens, it will likely continue in the same vein, chronicling the ups and downs of the central romance. Speculating further is tricky with season 3 ongoing. You can catch episodes weekly on Disney+ in the UK, with the finale scheduled for mid-February.

Are There Other Shows Like Tell Me Lies?

If you like Tell Me Lies, you probably enjoy (romance) series with a touch of darkness. You might also like Sex/Life, Big Little Lies, Unspeakable Sins, Euphoria, Pretty Little Liars, The Affair, and Scandal.

Tori Amos Details New Album ‘In Times of Dragons’

After revealing last October that she has a new album on the way, Tori Amos has announced In Times of Dragon, which is set for release on May 1 via Universal/Fontana. It marks the singer-songwriter’s 18th album, following 2021’s Ocean to Ocean and last year’s soundtrack to her children’s book Tori and the Muses. Amos has also announced a US summer tour; check out her itinerary below.

“In Times of Dragons is a metaphorical story about the fight for Democracy over Tyranny, reflecting the current abhorrent non accidental burning down of democracy in real time by the ‘Dictator believing Lizard Demons’ in their usurpation of America,” Amos said in a press release.

For the newly unveiled cover artwork, photographer Kasia Wozniak worked with direct paper positives using the RA-4 process, shooting everything on a large-format camera. “Each photograph was slowly composed, photographed, and processed,” Wozniak commented. “It felt magical to weave Tori’s work and vision with my own. We moved from photograph to photograph with an intuitive rhythm, aligned in every shot. The process became a kind of ritual.”

Amos added: “To work with Kasia and Stylist Karen Binns to bring the story and characters to life was a truly moving experience. Seeing our collaborations come to life, with them and the whole team will live with me forever.”

Snail Mail Announces New Album ‘Ricochet’, Shares New Single ‘Dead End’

Snail Mail is back. Today, Lindsey Jordan has announced the project’s first album in five years, Ricochet, which arrives March 27 on Matador. The Valentine follow-up is led by the hooky, eruptive new single ‘Dead End’, which is accompanied by a music video directed alongside Elsie Richter. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.

“We shot the video for ‘Dead End’ in random places all around rural North Carolina between the hours of 5pm and 4am on one of the coldest nights of my life,” Jordan recalled in a press release. “The goal was to be inconspicuous with the fireworks, but someone called the cops on us.”

If the song’s brand of hookiness sounds familiar, it may be because Jordan recorded Ricochet with producer and bassist Aron Kobayashi Ritch (Momma). The sessions took place at Fidelitorium Recordings in North Carolina, as well as Nightfly and Studio G in Brooklyn, and felt “refreshing, trusting, and comfortable,” according to Jordan. “I’ve never done this before, but I wrote all of the instrumentals and vocal melodies on the piano or guitar, and then I filled in the lyrics all at once over a year.”

Animal Crossing: New Horizons: How to Unlock The Legend of Zelda-Themed Furniture and Clothing

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has no shortage of themed items, and the recent 3.0 update has added more furniture, clothing, and decorations inspired by Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series. However, you won’t see these items in the shop right away and to actually get the The Legend of Zelda items onto your island, you’ll need to use amiibo, which basically is a small physical Nintendo figure or card that can be scanned into the game. Scanning a compatible Zelda amiibo will let you invite that character to your campsite, and once they’ve visited, the full set of Zelda-themed items will become available to order through Nook Shopping. So, if you’re looking to bring a bit of Hyrule to your island, here’s how to get The Legend of Zelda-themed items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons: How to Unlock The Legend of Zelda-Themed Furniture and Clothing

To unlock The Legend of Zelda-themed items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you’ll need to use an amiibo based on a character or creature from The Legend of Zelda series. For the uninitiated, amiibo are physical Nintendo figures or cards that you scan into the game to unlock extra content. You can scan any Zelda-related amiibo to add the themed items to your collection, including those based on characters like Link, Zelda, or Revali, and even enemies like Bokoblins.

However, before scanning an amiibo, make sure your island has progressed far enough to unlock both the Resident Services building and the campsite. If those aren’t set up yet, the amiibo option won’t show up at the Nook Stop.

Once you’ve got your Zelda amiibo ready, head to the Resident Services building and interact with the Nook Stop terminal. Select “Invite amiibo camper,” then scan your amiibo when asked. The amiibo you use will decide whether Tulin or Mineru visits your campsite, but either way, you’ll unlock the same set of Zelda items.

After inviting Tulin or Mineru, return to the Nook Stop and open “Nook Shopping.” Choose “Special Goods”, then use the R button to switch over to the “Promotion” tab. Scroll down and you’ll see a full selection of Zelda-themed furniture, clothing, and decorative items available to order. Anything you buy through Nook Shopping will arrive in your in-game mailbox the next day, so you’ll need to wait a little before you can start redecorating. The good news is that once the Zelda collection is unlocked, it will stay that way, and you won’t need to scan the amiibo again.
