Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom will receive native versions for Nintendo Switch 2

Nintendo has announced that the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 will be released on June 5, although it will not include a new main title in the Legend of Zelda saga. However, the launch is accompanied by enhanced versions of the acclaimed games The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, which promise to offer players a renewed experience on the new console.

An app that aims to change how we play these two games

One of the most notable features of these new releases is Zelda Notes, a mobile function that will make it easier for players to exchange items between both games. Additionally, these items can be shared with friends using the Nintendo Switch mobile app. During a demonstration at Nintendo Treehouse: Live, it was shown how Link’s character was able to receive a war hammer from another player through this exchange system.

Despite the exciting possibilities that Zelda Notes offers, there are significant restrictions. Items that are exclusive to Tears of the Kingdom will change when transferred to Breath of the Wild. However, players of Tears of the Kingdom will be able to use this feature to share autobuild blueprints via QR codes and also benefit from a navigation option to reach difficult locations.

In addition, new Amiibo are being released that will include characters such as Tulin, Yunobo, Sidon, Riju, and Mineru’s Construct, which will be available on launch day along with the games. Players who already own any of the previous versions of Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom on the original console will have the option to purchase the editions for Switch 2 via download, at no additional cost for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members. It is important to note that the Zelda Notes feature will not require a subscription for access.
