Zelda Notes App May Allow Equipment Repair in Switch 2 Ports

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 feature that may address one of the most debated aspects of these games: equipment durability. As highlighted by YouTuber Zeltik during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, a new mobile companion app called Zelda Notes, exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of these titles, introduces a Daily Bonus feature. This feature allows players to roll for various in-game bonuses, with one of the potential rewards being Equipment Repairs.

For those unfamiliar, both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* utilize a durability system, where weapons, shields, and other items degrade and eventually break after prolonged use. This mechanic has sparked considerable discussion among the gaming community. The possibility of repairing equipment, even if not guaranteed, offers a tantalizing solution for players who have grown fond of their favorite weapons, like the iconic Flameblade.

However, it's important to note that the Equipment Repair bonus is not a sure thing. The Daily Bonus feature operates on a roulette-style mechanism, meaning players must rely on chance to receive this particular perk. Additionally, the bonus can only be rolled once per day, adding a strategic element to when players choose to use it. While this feature might not revolutionize the game's mechanics, it could provide a crucial lifeline in critical moments.

Beyond the potential for equipment repairs, the Zelda Notes app offers a range of other engaging features. Players can look forward to achievements unique to these Zelda titles through the mobile companion program, as well as special audio memories that will enrich the lore and background of Hyrule. These additions, combined with the performance enhancements expected from the Nintendo Switch 2, promise to elevate the open-world experience of these beloved games, particularly for those who have been frustrated by the constant need to replace broken gear.
