Exciting news for fans of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*—the Nintendo Switch 2 versions are set to receive some notable upgrades, including a new feature that could change how you manage your gear. As discovered by YouTuber Zeltik during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, the Zelda Notes app, a mobile companion exclusive to these Nintendo Switch 2 versions, introduces a Daily Bonus feature. This feature lets players roll for various in-game perks, one of which is labeled "Equipment Repairs."

For those unfamiliar, both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* employ a durability system where weapons, shields, and other items eventually break after use. This mechanic has stirred debate among players, so the prospect of repairing equipment, such as your cherished Flameblade, adds an intriguing layer to the gameplay. However, it's worth noting that this feature comes with a caveat: it's based on chance. The Daily Bonus operates via a roulette wheel, meaning you might not always get the repair option, and you'll need to wait for the daily timer to reset before trying your luck again. While this won't revolutionize the game, it could be a lifesaver in critical moments.

Beyond equipment repairs, the Zelda Notes app is packed with other engaging features. Both titles will also include a form of achievements through the mobile companion program, enriching your gaming experience. Additionally, special audio memories will provide new lore and background details about Hyrule, enhancing the narrative depth.

These enhancements, coupled with performance improvements on the Nintendo Switch 2, are set to elevate the open-world experience of these beloved Zelda titles. Particularly for those who found the weapon durability system frustrating, these updates could make a significant difference.
