Nintendo’s new Zelda Notes app includes a way to fix your damaged equipment in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom for Switch 2–if you’re lucky. The weapon-degradation fix is tied to the free app’s daily bonus feature, which gives you a random item or effect once each day.
Nintendo highlighted the feature during one of its lengthy Treehouse Live segments following the Switch 2 Direct, and the bonus roulette included things such as meal effects, energy-cell restoration, and stamina recovery. However, Zelda YouTuber Zeltik spotted two additional bonuses during a hands-on with Breath of the Wild’s and Tears of the Kingdom’s Switch 2 versions–equipment repair and bow repair.
The roulette didn’t land on either for Zeltik during their demo, so it’s unclear how the repair bonus actually works. “Bow repair” is self-explanatory in that it’ll repair a bow, of course, though “equipment repair” is a little more vague. Link’s other, non-bow equipment in both games includes shields and breakable weapons, but there’s no indication yet as to which category that repair might apply to.
