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

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 several upgrades, including a potentially game-changing feature: equipment repair. As revealed in a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, the exclusive Zelda Notes app for these games includes a Daily Bonus feature. By opening this app, players can roll for various in-game bonuses, such as meal effects, health and stamina recovery, and, crucially, Equipment Repairs.

For those familiar with the series, both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* implement durability meters, meaning weapons, shields, and other items eventually break after use. This mechanic has sparked debate among fans, so the prospect of repairing your cherished Flameblade is undoubtedly appealing.

However, there's a catch to this new feature: it's based on chance. The Daily Bonus operates like a roulette wheel, randomly selecting which bonus you receive. This means you're not guaranteed an Equipment Repair every day. Additionally, the bonus is on a daily timer, requiring patience before you can spin again. While this might be a lifesaver in certain situations, it won't revolutionize the gameplay entirely.

Beyond equipment repairs, the Zelda Notes app boasts other intriguing features. Both games will introduce their own set of achievements through this mobile companion program, and special audio memories will enrich the lore and background of Hyrule, adding depth to the open-world experience.

These enhancements, combined with performance improvements, are poised to elevate the *Zelda* experience on the Nintendo Switch 2, particularly for players who were frustrated by the durability system.
