The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 versions of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* are set to introduce some exciting upgrades, one of which is a new feature to repair equipment. As highlighted by YouTuber Zeltik in a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, the Zelda Notes app—a mobile companion exclusively designed for these Nintendo Switch 2 editions—includes a Daily Bonus feature. Players can engage with this feature to roll for various in-game bonuses, ranging from beneficial meal effects and health/stamina recovery to the much-anticipated Equipment Repairs.
Both *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* employ durability meters, where weapons, shields, and other items degrade and eventually break after repeated use. This mechanic has sparked significant debate among fans, so the ability to repair equipment and keep your favorite Flameblade in top shape is certainly appealing.
However, for those concerned about how this might alter the gameplay, there's a catch: randomness. The Daily Bonus operates like a roulette wheel, meaning the chance of receiving an Equipment Repair is not guaranteed. Additionally, the feature is limited to once per day, requiring players to wait until the next day for another roll. While this can be a lifesaver in critical moments, it's unlikely to revolutionize the game entirely.
Beyond equipment repairs, the Zelda Notes app offers several other intriguing features. Both games will incorporate their own achievement systems through this mobile companion, and special audio memories will provide new lore and enrich the background of different Hyrule regions.
These enhancements are poised to elevate the open-world experience of Zelda, especially for those who have long been frustrated by the constant breaking of their favorite gear. Alongside these updates, the Nintendo Switch 2 promises to bring performance improvements that will further enhance gameplay.
