The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 versions of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* are set to receive exciting upgrades, including a new feature aimed at addressing one of the series' most debated mechanics: equipment durability. As highlighted in a recent Nintendo Treehouse Live stream and pointed out by YouTuber Zeltik, the *Zelda Notes* app, a mobile companion exclusive to these Nintendo Switch 2 editions, introduces a Daily Bonus feature. This feature allows players to roll for various in-game advantages, one of which is labeled "Equipment Repairs."

In both *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*, weapons, shields, and other items degrade over time due to a durability meter, sparking controversy among fans. The prospect of repairing equipment like your beloved Flameblade is certainly appealing to many. However, there's a catch: the Daily Bonus relies on a roulette wheel, meaning the Equipment Repair isn't guaranteed every day. Additionally, players must wait for a daily timer to reset before they can roll again, making this feature useful but not a complete overhaul of the game's mechanics.

The *Zelda Notes* app doesn't stop at equipment repairs. It also introduces achievements for both games through the mobile companion program and includes special audio memories that enrich the lore and background of Hyrule. These enhancements, combined with the performance boosts expected on the Nintendo Switch 2, promise to elevate the open-world Zelda experience, particularly for those frustrated by the constant need to replace their favorite weapons.
