Exciting news for fans of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*—the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 versions are set to introduce a series of enhancements, one of which appears to be an equipment repair feature. As revealed during the latest Nintendo Treehouse Live stream and later highlighted by YouTuber Zeltik, this new functionality is integrated into the exclusive mobile companion app called Zelda Notes.
The app now includes a Daily Bonus system that allows players to spin a reward wheel each day. This wheel offers a variety of in-game boosts such as temporary meal effects, health and stamina restoration, and notably, Equipment Repairs. Given that both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* utilize a durability system where weapons, shields, and tools eventually break after repeated use, the ability to repair them could be a welcomed relief for many players who've grown frustrated with losing their favorite items like the Flameblade.
However, it’s important to note that this new feature isn't a guaranteed fix or a game-breaking exploit. The Daily Bonus operates on a randomized roulette system, meaning players won’t always land on an Equipment Repair option. Additionally, the bonus resets once per day, so there's a built-in waiting period before you can try again. While this mechanic may not fully eliminate the durability concern, it can still serve as a helpful tool when you're in a tight spot.
Beyond repairs, the Zelda Notes app promises even more features aimed at enriching the gameplay experience. Both titles will also introduce a form of achievements through the companion app, along with special audio memories that deliver deeper lore and background information about various locations across Hyrule.
These additions, combined with expected performance improvements, look to significantly enhance the open-world adventure for returning players—especially those who found the original weapon durability system frustrating.
