Exciting news for fans of The Legend of Zelda series: the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* are set to receive some fantastic upgrades. One of the standout features, as spotted by YouTuber Zeltik during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, is the introduction of equipment repair through the Zelda Notes app. This mobile companion app, exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of these iconic games, includes a Daily Bonus feature. By accessing this feature, players can roll for various in-game bonuses such as meal effects, health and stamina recovery, and crucially, Equipment Repairs.
Both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* feature a durability system where weapons, shields, and other items degrade and eventually break after prolonged use. This mechanic has sparked debate among players, making the prospect of repairing beloved items like a Flameblade particularly appealing. However, it's important to note that the repair feature isn't a guaranteed fix. The Daily Bonus operates on a roulette-style system, randomly awarding bonuses, so players might not always receive an Equipment Repair. Additionally, this bonus can only be used once per day, with a timer dictating when the next roll can be made. While this may not revolutionize the game, it could prove invaluable in critical moments.
The Zelda Notes app offers more than just equipment repairs. It also introduces achievements for both games and special audio memories that enrich the lore and background of Hyrule. These enhancements, combined with the performance improvements of the Nintendo Switch 2, promise to elevate the open-world experience of these beloved titles, particularly for players who have been frustrated by the constant breaking of their favorite gear.
