Exciting news for fans of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* on the Nintendo Switch 2! These beloved titles are set to receive some notable upgrades, including a new feature that could change how you play: equipment repair.
As highlighted in a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream and cleverly spotted by YouTuber Zeltik, the Zelda Notes app—a mobile companion app exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of these games—introduces a Daily Bonus feature. By accessing this feature, players can roll for various in-game perks. Among these are beneficial meal effects, health and stamina recovery, and the much-anticipated Equipment Repairs.
Both *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* feature durability meters, causing weapons, shields, and other items to break after prolonged use. This mechanic has stirred debate among players, so the possibility of repairing equipment like a cherished Flameblade is certainly appealing.
However, there's a catch. The Daily Bonus operates like a roulette wheel, randomly deciding which perk you receive, meaning Equipment Repair isn't a guaranteed daily option. Moreover, the feature resets daily, requiring players to wait for their next chance to spin. While this system might be a lifesaver in emergencies, it's not likely to revolutionize the game entirely.
Beyond equipment repairs, the Zelda Notes app promises a suite of exciting features. Both games will introduce their own achievements through the mobile app, and special audio memories will enrich the lore and background of various parts of Hyrule.
These enhancements are poised to elevate the open-world experience of *The Legend of Zelda* on the Nintendo Switch 2, especially for those who were frustrated by the constant breaking of favorite weapons. Alongside these new features, performance improvements will further enhance gameplay.
