Exciting news for fans of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* on the Nintendo Switch 2: both games are set to receive some enticing upgrades, including a feature that could change the way you play—equipment repair. As revealed during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream and highlighted by YouTuber Zeltik, the Zelda Notes app, a mobile companion exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of these titles, introduces a Daily Bonus feature. This feature lets players roll for various in-game advantages, such as meal effects, health and stamina boosts, and crucially, Equipment Repairs.
In both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*, weapons, shields, and other items have durability meters, leading to inevitable breakage after extensive use. This mechanic has sparked debate among players, so the ability to repair equipment could be a welcome addition for those looking to keep their beloved Flameblade in top shape.
However, don't expect this feature to revolutionize the game entirely. The Equipment Repair bonus is part of a daily roulette system, meaning it's not guaranteed every time. You'll need to wait for the daily timer to reset before you can spin again, making it a useful tool in urgent situations but not a complete overhaul of the game's mechanics.
Beyond equipment repair, the Zelda Notes app offers additional features that promise to enrich your Zelda experience. This includes achievements tailored to each game and special audio memories that delve deeper into the lore of Hyrule. These enhancements, combined with the performance improvements of the Nintendo Switch 2, are set to make exploring the open worlds of *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* even more engaging, especially for those who've struggled with the frustration of breaking weapons.
