The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 versions of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* are set to receive several exciting upgrades, with one particularly noteworthy feature being the ability to repair equipment. This intriguing development was highlighted by YouTuber Zeltik during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, focusing on the Zelda Notes app—a mobile companion app designed exclusively for these new versions of the beloved Zelda titles.
The Zelda Notes app introduces a Daily Bonus feature that allows players to roll for various in-game perks. Among these are helpful meal effects, health and stamina recovery, and, crucially, Equipment Repairs. Given that both games employ durability meters, causing weapons, shields, and other items to eventually break, this new feature could be a game-changer for players who've found the mechanic controversial. Imagine being able to keep your cherished Flameblade in prime condition!
However, there's a catch to this new system. The Daily Bonus operates on a roulette wheel, meaning the Equipment Repair bonus is not guaranteed every day. There's also a built-in timer, requiring players to wait for their next chance to spin. While this system may not revolutionize the gameplay entirely, it offers a handy workaround in critical situations.
Beyond equipment repairs, the Zelda Notes app boasts a range of other engaging features. Players can look forward to achievements tailored specifically for these Zelda games, enhancing the sense of accomplishment. Additionally, special audio memories will enrich the lore and background of various Hyrule locations, further immersing players in the game's world.
These upgrades are poised to significantly enhance the open-world experience of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*, especially for those who've been frustrated by the constant need to replace broken equipment. Coupled with the performance improvements on the Nintendo Switch 2, these enhancements promise to make the journey through Hyrule even more enjoyable.
