Exciting updates are coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*, and one of the most intriguing additions is a new way to repair equipment. As revealed during a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream and later highlighted by YouTuber Zeltik, the Zelda Notes app—exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 editions of these games—now includes a Daily Bonus feature that can offer various in-game advantages.
Upon opening the Daily Bonus section, players get the chance to spin a roulette-style wheel for random rewards. Among these are beneficial meal effects, health and stamina restoration, and notably, an option labeled “Equipment Repairs.” This addition is particularly exciting for longtime fans, as both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* utilize a durability system where weapons, shields, and other tools eventually break after repeated use—a mechanic that has sparked debate among players since launch.
While this new repair feature offers a welcome solution to preserving beloved gear like the Flameblade, it’s not an unlimited or guaranteed fix. The Daily Bonus operates on a chance-based system, meaning players must spin the wheel each day for a shot at landing the Equipment Repair reward. Additionally, the bonus resets daily, requiring players to wait for the next opportunity if they don’t receive the desired outcome.
Beyond repairs, the Zelda Notes app introduces several other enhancements to the gaming experience. Players can look forward to integrated achievements unique to each title, along with special audio memories that enrich the lore and backstory of Hyrule. These features, combined with performance optimizations, aim to elevate the already immersive open-world adventure—especially for those who found the weapon durability system frustrating.
These quality-of-life improvements, alongside broader enhancements offered by the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, promise to make returning to Hyrule more enjoyable than ever before.
