Both games will receiveNintendo Switch 2 editions, which are enhanced versions of originalNintendo Switchgames which will receive improved visuals, and other benefits.
Switch 2 Edition games are separate from standard Switch 2 backwards compatibility and need to either be purchased separately or upgraded to for owners of Switch 1 versions.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the KingdomandThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildwill both get Switch 2 editions, as well as a new app, Zelda Notes, which will be part of theNintendoApp.
“Also on the way is an update to the Nintendo Switch App, called Zelda Notes,” Nintendo said.
“This game-specific service is exclusive to theNintendo Switch 2Editions of the games and helps players navigate to various locations, like that difficult-to-find shrine or hidden Korok, and will even feature commentary from Princess Zelda herself that was not part of the original games.”
The Zelda Notes app will also feature a long-requested feature for Nintendo consoles: achievements.
The achievements will track things like weapons collected, the number of shrines completed, and other in-game metrics. Another achievement system, medals, will be awarded for reaching certain in-game milestones.
Players will be able to track their achievements against their friends, and other players in the Nintendo app.
