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

The Nintendo Switch 2 versions of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* are set to receive exciting upgrades, including a new feature that allows players to repair equipment. This was discovered by YouTuber Zeltik during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, where the Zelda Notes app—a mobile companion app exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of these games—was showcased. One of the app's features, the Daily Bonus, lets users roll for various in-game benefits, 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*, items like weapons and shields have durability meters, meaning they break after a certain number of uses. This mechanic has been a point of contention among players, so the ability to repair equipment could be a welcome addition for those looking to keep their favorite Flameblade in top condition.

However, there's a catch: the Daily Bonus feature uses a roulette wheel, meaning the chance of getting an Equipment Repair is not guaranteed. Additionally, the bonus is available only once per day, with a timer that players must wait out before their next spin. While this feature can be a lifesaver in critical moments, it's not likely to revolutionize the gameplay experience entirely.

The Zelda Notes app offers more than just equipment repairs. It also introduces achievements for both games through the mobile companion program, and special audio memories that enrich the lore and background of different parts of Hyrule. These enhancements, combined with the performance improvements of the Nintendo Switch 2, promise to elevate the open-world experience of these beloved Zelda titles, particularly for players who have been frustrated by the durability system.
