Zelda Ports on Switch 2 Allow Equipment Repair via Zelda Notes App

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 significant upgrades, including a new feature that could change how you play. As revealed by YouTuber Zeltik during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, the Zelda Notes app—a mobile companion exclusively designed for the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of these games—introduces a Daily Bonus feature. This feature allows players to roll for various in-game benefits, one of which is the highly anticipated Equipment Repairs option.

In both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*, equipment durability has been a divisive mechanic, with weapons, shields, and other items wearing out after repeated use. The prospect of repairing your cherished Flameblade or other favorite gear could be a game-changer for many players. However, there's a catch: the Daily Bonus operates on a roulette-style system, meaning Equipment Repairs aren't guaranteed every day. You'll need to wait for the daily timer to reset before you can spin again, making this feature more of a helpful tool in emergencies rather than a complete overhaul of the game's core mechanics.

The Zelda Notes app doesn't stop at equipment repairs. It also introduces achievements for both games through the mobile companion program, enriching the gaming experience with new goals to strive for. Additionally, special audio memories will provide deeper lore and background to various parts of Hyrule, enhancing the immersive open-world experience.

These enhancements, alongside the expected performance improvements on the Nintendo Switch 2, are poised to significantly elevate the gameplay for those who found the equipment durability system frustrating.
