New information has come to light that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom will support weapon repairs, which is done through the upcoming Zelda Notes portion of the Nintendo Switch app.
The durability system in Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom was one of the more controversial aspects of the games. Over time, equipment would break with use. If you had a certain weapon you really liked, once you whacked enemies enough times with it, generally it’d break and you’d lose it.

It may not have been something that fans would immediately assume, but it turns out that Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is taking some inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
That news comes from producer Masaaki Hayasaka. In a recent interview, he said that Square Enix wanted to capture that same sense of adventure that Zelda provides – seeing something off in the distance that catches your eye and wanting to head in that direction.
Here’s what Hayasaka had to say about the Zelda: Breath of the Wild inspiration for Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake:

Rumor: Nintendo working on project with codename “U-King-O”, possible new version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Midori, a leaker known for correctly predicting numerous tidbits of information regarding Atlus and SEGA games, has come forward with a new claim that Nintendo is working on a project with the codename U-King-O – which could possibly be a port of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s codename is U-King, which means it can be reasonably assumed that this project refers to a port for Nintendo’s next console. It’s also safe to assume that this port would come with improvements; a higher resolution and frame rate would be nearly guaranteed if this were the case.

Zelda producer doesn’t think Nintendo will make another sequel in the world of Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Tears of the Kingdom did something that we don’ usually see from Nintendo, which is a sequel set in the world of a previous Zelda game – that being Breath of the Wild. While that just happened, don’t expect to see something similar again anytime soon.
Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, speaking with Game Informer, said Nintendo’s goal was to exhaust what was possible in the world of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. He went on to say specifically: “I don’t think that we’ll be making a direct sequel to a world such as that that we’ve created.”
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom director on what happened to the Sheikah tech from Breath of the Wild
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom builds on the mechanics and world of Breath of the Wild, but there are some elements that are absent such as the Sheikah Towers and Guardians. In their place are things like the Skyview Towers and new types of enemies we didn’t see in the previous title. But what happened to the Sheikah tech in Breath of the Wild anyway?
Hidemaro Fujibayashi, who was the director on Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild, offered up an explanation in an interview with The Telegraph. He explained that the Sheikah technology simply disappeared – which the people of Hyrule apparently saw. However, Fujibayashi said “it is considered a mystery.”
