The Nintendo Switch 2 versions of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* are set to introduce several exciting upgrades, including a new feature that could change how players manage their equipment. As highlighted by YouTuber Zeltik during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, the Zelda Notes app, a mobile companion exclusive to the Switch 2 versions of these games, includes a Daily Bonus feature. This feature allows players to roll for various in-game benefits, one of which is Equipment Repairs.
Both *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* feature durability meters, where weapons, shields, and other items degrade and break after use. This mechanic has sparked debate among fans, making the prospect of repairing your cherished Flameblade particularly appealing.
However, there's a catch to this new feature: it's based on chance. The Daily Bonus uses a roulette-style system to randomly award bonuses, meaning players aren't guaranteed to receive an Equipment Repair every day. Moreover, the bonus can only be claimed once per day, with a timer dictating when players can spin again. While this feature can be a lifesaver in critical moments, it's not likely to overhaul the gameplay experience entirely.
Beyond equipment repairs, the Zelda Notes app offers a range of other engaging features. Both games will now include achievements through the mobile companion program, and special audio memories will enrich the lore and background of different parts of Hyrule.
These enhancements are poised to elevate the open-world experience of these iconic Zelda titles, particularly for players frustrated by the weapon durability system. Alongside these new features, the Nintendo Switch 2 promises performance improvements that will further enhance gameplay.
