Wednesday's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct started diving into the revamped Switch games. The Legend of Zelda titles will be receiving some new upgrades, which includes a new app. In addition to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom getting updated framerate and HDR, a new app called Zelda Notes will allow users to do some extra research and also share some of their work.

Zelda Notes is a feature that will be added as part of an update to the Nintendo Switch App, formerly the Nintendo Switch Online App, and will require a free Nintendo Account to use. This will offer exclusive features, such as navigation and highlighted points of interest. Players can also hear new commentary from Princess Zelda that will help further flesh out each game's lore. Other features include in-app medals and a Photo Mode to share pictures with friends.

More interesting is the ability to share Autobuild creations from Tears of the Kingdom to friends, meaning people can now share their giant robot or death tank blueprints with others via QR codes. Similarly, players can gift items to their friends through QR codes shared on the app and help keep them alive.

It should be noted that Zelda Notes will only be available to use with the upgraded Switch 2 versions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, both of which will launch along with the Switch 2 on June 5.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
