Zelda Notes App May Allow Equipment Repair in Switch 2 Ports

Exciting news for fans of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom! The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 versions of these beloved games are set to introduce several upgrades, including a notable feature that could change how you play: equipment repair.

As revealed during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, the Zelda Notes app, designed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, includes a Daily Bonus feature. This feature lets players roll for various in-game perks, such as meal effects, health and stamina recovery, and crucially, Equipment Repairs. This could be a game-changer for those frustrated by the durability mechanic that causes weapons, shields, and other items to break after repeated use.

However, it's important to note that the Equipment Repair bonus isn't guaranteed every day. It's part of a roulette-style system where players spin to see what they get, and there's a daily cooldown before you can try again. While this might not revolutionize the gameplay entirely, it offers a handy solution in critical moments when you need your favorite Flameblade to stay intact just a bit longer.

The Zelda Notes app isn't just about repairs, though. It also introduces achievements for both Zelda 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 Zelda experience, particularly for players who were not fans of the weapon durability system.
