Nintendo has rolled out new updates for both The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom. The latest patches are fairly minor, primarily addressing a few issues related to the Zelda Notes service for the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of both games.
According to Nintendo’s patch notes, the new updates resolve a bug that can occur when attempting to use certain Daily Bonus perks. Specifically, Nintendo says it has “fixed an issue in which the player was unable to use the Daily Bonus effects ‘Health Recovery’ or ‘Hearty Meal’ if they had increased their hearts to the maximum number.”
The updates also resolve “several other issues related to Zelda Notes,” although no specific details were provided beyond that. Both games have also gotten other minor fixes “to improve the gameplay experience.” You can read the full patch notes for each update below.
You’ll need to install the latest patches in order to continue using the Zelda Notes service. The updates should download automatically when your system connects to the internet, but you can manually initiate the download by highlighting the game’s icon on the home menu, pressing the Plus Button, and selecting Software Update.
Zelda Notes is a companion service available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Players who own the Switch 1 versions can purchase upgrade packs for the games through the eShop. Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers can also download both upgrade packs for free, although it may not be immediately clear how to.
