The Nintendo Switch 2 versions of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* are set to introduce several exciting upgrades, with one particularly noteworthy feature being the ability to repair equipment. This new functionality was discovered by YouTuber Zeltik during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, spotlighting the Zelda Notes app. This mobile companion app, exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of these iconic Zelda titles, includes a Daily Bonus feature that allows players to roll for various in-game perks, including meal effects, health and stamina recovery, and crucially, Equipment Repairs.
In both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*, the durability system has been a point of contention among players. Weapons, shields, and other items have a limited lifespan and will eventually break. The introduction of a repair system for these items, like keeping your cherished Flameblade in top condition, could be a game-changer for many fans. However, it's important to note that this feature comes with a caveat: it's based on chance. The Daily Bonus operates via a roulette wheel, meaning that receiving an Equipment Repair isn't guaranteed. Furthermore, this bonus can only be used once per day, adding a strategic element to when players choose to utilize it.
Beyond equipment repairs, the Zelda Notes app boasts a range of other intriguing features. Players can look forward to achievements tailored specifically for these games through the mobile companion program, as well as special audio memories that enrich the lore and background of Hyrule. These enhancements are set to deepen the open-world experience of Zelda, complementing the performance improvements of the Nintendo Switch 2.
