"Switch 2 Zelda Ports: Repair Equipment Using Zelda Notes App"

Exciting news for fans of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom—the Nintendo Switch 2 versions are set to receive some notable upgrades, including a new feature that could change how you play: equipment repair. As highlighted by YouTuber Zeltik during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, the Zelda Notes app, a mobile companion app exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of these games, introduces a Daily Bonus feature. This feature allows players to roll for various in-game bonuses, one of which is labeled "Equipment Repairs."

In both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, the durability of weapons, shields, and other items has been a point of contention among players. The ability to repair equipment, such as keeping your beloved Flameblade in top condition, could be a game-changer for many. However, there's a catch: the Daily Bonus uses a roulette wheel, meaning the chance of getting an Equipment Repair is not guaranteed. Additionally, this feature is limited to once per day, with a timer dictating when you can roll again. While it might not revolutionize the gameplay entirely, it could be a lifesaver in critical moments.

The Zelda Notes app doesn't stop at equipment repairs. It also introduces achievements for both 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 experience of these beloved titles, particularly for those who have been frustrated by the constant need to replace broken weapons.
