"Switch 2 Zelda: Repair Gear with Notes App"

Exciting news for fans of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* on the Nintendo Switch 2! These beloved titles are set to receive some significant upgrades, one of which is a highly anticipated feature: the ability to repair equipment. This update was hinted at during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, as noted by the keen-eyed YouTuber Zeltik.

The new feature is part of the Zelda Notes app, a mobile companion app exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of these games. This app introduces a Daily Bonus feature that allows players to roll for various in-game advantages. Among these bonuses are helpful meal effects, health and stamina recovery, and crucially, Equipment Repairs.

For those familiar with the series, you'll know that both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* utilize a durability system for weapons, shields, and other items, which has sparked some debate among players. The prospect of repairing your favorite Flameblade or other cherished gear is certainly appealing and could address some of the criticisms surrounding the durability mechanic.

However, it's important to note that this feature isn't a guaranteed fix-all. The Daily Bonus operates on a roulette wheel, meaning the Equipment Repair bonus is awarded randomly and only once per day, subject to a timer. While this can be a lifesaver in critical moments, it won't revolutionize the gameplay entirely.

The Zelda Notes app promises more than just equipment repairs. It also introduces achievements for both games, enriching the player experience with additional goals to strive for. Moreover, special audio memories will offer new lore and background details, enhancing the immersive world of Hyrule.

These enhancements, coupled with the performance improvements of the Nintendo Switch 2, are poised to elevate the open-world Zelda experience. Particularly for players who have long lamented the loss of their favorite weapons, these updates could be a game-changer.
