"Switch 2 Zelda Ports: Repair Equipment Using Zelda Notes App"

The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 versions of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* are set to receive exciting upgrades, one of which includes a feature to repair equipment. As noted by YouTuber Zeltik during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, the Zelda Notes app—a mobile companion app exclusive to these Nintendo Switch 2 versions—introduces a Daily Bonus feature. This feature allows players to roll for various in-game bonuses, such as meal effects, health and stamina recovery, and crucially, Equipment Repairs.

In both *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*, equipment like weapons and shields have durability meters, meaning they break after a certain number of uses. This mechanic has stirred some controversy among fans, so the ability to repair equipment offers a much-welcomed workaround for keeping cherished items like the Flameblade in good condition.

However, there's a catch: the repair feature is not guaranteed. The Daily Bonus operates on a roulette wheel system, randomly selecting the player's bonus. This means you might not always land on Equipment Repair. Additionally, the bonus is available only once per day, requiring players to wait for the timer to reset before spinning again. While this can be a lifesaver in urgent situations, it's not likely to revolutionize the gameplay entirely.

The Zelda Notes app isn't just about equipment repairs; it boasts other intriguing features as well. Both games will include achievements through this mobile companion program, and special audio memories will enrich the lore and background of different parts of Hyrule.

These enhancements promise to elevate the open-world experience of *The Legend of Zelda* on the Nintendo Switch 2, particularly for those who found the equipment durability system frustrating. Alongside performance improvements, these updates are poised to make the games even more enjoyable.
