The Nintendo Switch 2 versions of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* are set to receive exciting upgrades, including a new feature that allows players to repair equipment. This was discovered by YouTuber Zeltik during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, focusing on the Zelda Notes app—a mobile companion app exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of these iconic games.
The Zelda Notes app introduces a Daily Bonus feature, where players can roll for various in-game benefits. These include meal effects, health and stamina recovery, and crucially, Equipment Repairs. Both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* feature durability meters for weapons, shields, and other items, which has been a point of contention among fans. The ability to repair equipment, such as keeping a beloved Flameblade in top condition, could be a game-changer for many players.
However, there's a catch: the Daily Bonus operates on a roulette wheel, meaning the chance of receiving an Equipment Repair is not guaranteed. Additionally, the bonus is available only once per day, with a timer dictating when players can roll again. While this feature can be a lifesaver in critical moments, it's not likely to revolutionize the gameplay entirely.
Beyond equipment repairs, the Zelda Notes app offers a range of other engaging features. Both games will introduce achievements through the mobile companion program, and special audio memories will enrich the lore and background of different parts of Hyrule. These enhancements, combined with the performance improvements of the Nintendo Switch 2, promise to elevate the open-world experience of these beloved Zelda titles, particularly for those who have been frustrated by the durability system.
