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 receive some noteworthy upgrades, including a feature that might just change the way you play: equipment repair.
As discovered 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. When you open this feature, you get to spin a wheel for various in-game bonuses. These can include beneficial meal effects, health and stamina recovery, and, most intriguingly, Equipment Repairs.
In both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*, the durability of weapons, shields, and other items has been a hot topic among players. These items break after a certain number of uses, which has sparked debate since the games' release. The prospect of repairing your cherished Flameblade or any other favorite gear could be a game-changer for many.
However, there's a catch: the Equipment Repair bonus isn't guaranteed. The Daily Bonus operates on a roulette wheel, meaning it's a matter of chance whether you'll get the repair you're hoping for. Plus, the bonus resets daily, so you'll need to wait for the timer to refresh before spinning again. While this feature can be a lifesaver in critical moments, it's not something you can rely on constantly.
Beyond the potential for equipment repairs, the Zelda Notes app offers a range of other exciting features. Both games will incorporate achievements through this mobile companion, adding a new layer of engagement. Additionally, special audio memories will enrich the lore and background of different parts of Hyrule, deepening the immersive experience.
These enhancements, combined with the expected performance improvements of the Nintendo Switch 2, promise to elevate the open-world Zelda experience. Particularly for those who have been frustrated by the constant breaking of their favorite weapons, these updates are a welcome addition.
