Switch 2 Zelda Ports Will Let Players Repair Equipment With the Zelda Notes App, If They're Lucky

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, one of which is a new feature for equipment repair. As highlighted by YouTuber Zeltik during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, the Zelda Notes app—a mobile companion exclusively for these Nintendo Switch 2 versions—introduces a Daily Bonus feature. This feature allows players to roll for various in-game bonuses, including meal effects, health and stamina recovery, and crucially, Equipment Repairs.

Both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* employ a durability system where weapons, shields, and other items eventually break after use. This mechanic has sparked debate among players, so the ability to repair equipment could be a game-changer for many. However, it's important to note that this feature comes with a caveat: it's based on chance. The Daily Bonus uses a roulette wheel, meaning you're not guaranteed to receive an Equipment Repair every time. Additionally, this bonus is only available once per day, requiring players to wait until the next day for another chance.

While the Equipment Repair feature might not revolutionize the game entirely, it's a welcome addition for those moments when you need to keep your favorite Flameblade in action. Beyond repairs, the Zelda Notes app offers a range of other engaging features, including achievements for both games and special audio memories that enrich the lore and background of Hyrule.

These upgrades are poised to enhance the open-world experience of *The Legend of Zelda* on the Nintendo Switch 2, complementing the performance improvements and addressing some of the concerns players had about weapon durability.
