The Nintendo Switch 2 versions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are receiving exciting upgrades, including a new equipment repair feature.
As highlighted by YouTuber Zeltik during Nintendo's recent Treehouse Live stream, the Zelda Notes companion app offers exclusive Daily Bonuses for Switch 2 players. These rewards include meal enhancements, health/stamina recovery, and notably - Equipment Repairs.
Durability mechanics in BotW and TotK have been polarizing among fans, making this temporary equipment preservation feature particularly welcome for players attached to specific gear.
However, this quality-of-life improvement comes with built-in limitations. The Daily Bonus operates via roulette selection, meaning Equipment Repairs aren't guaranteed every time. With only one spin available per day (tracked by an in-game timer), players shouldn't expect to completely bypass the durability system.
Beyond repairs, the Zelda Notes app introduces other compelling additions: achievement tracking and exclusive audio logs that expand Hyrule's lore - creating a more immersive experience alongside the Switch 2's technical enhancements.
These thoughtful upgrades demonstrate Nintendo's commitment to refining its acclaimed open-world formula while addressing one of the series' most debated mechanics. Players who struggled with weapon fragility will especially appreciate these changes.
