The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 versions of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* are set to receive some exciting upgrades, including a new feature that might just be the answer to many players' prayers: equipment repair.
As highlighted 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. This feature allows players to roll for various in-game bonuses each day, including meal effects, health and stamina recovery, and crucially, Equipment Repairs.
In both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*, equipment like weapons and shields have durability meters and will break after a certain number of uses. This mechanic has been a point of contention among fans, so the ability to repair equipment could be a game-changer for those looking to keep their favorite weapons, such as the Flameblade, in peak condition.
However, it's important to note that the equipment repair feature isn't a guaranteed solution. The Daily Bonus operates on a roulette wheel system, meaning the chance of landing on Equipment Repairs is not assured. Additionally, players can only roll once per day, which adds a layer of strategy and anticipation to the gameplay.
Beyond equipment repairs, the Zelda Notes app offers a range of other engaging features. Players can earn achievements through the mobile companion program, and special audio memories will enrich the lore and background of different parts of Hyrule, adding depth to the open-world experience.
These enhancements, combined with the performance improvements of the Nintendo Switch 2, are poised to significantly enhance the *Zelda* experience, particularly for players who have been frustrated by the breaking of their favorite weapons.
