Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild Should Share Notes on Zelda

Okay, let’s dive into this somewhat haphazardly, shall we? So, here’s the deal with The Legend of Zelda popping up on the Nintendo Switch 2 – and yeah, it’s not exactly making a grand entrance like it did before. This time, it’s sort of sneaking in with these re-releases, you know? We’re talking about the big guns like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, but like, dressed up for the Switch 2 with better graphics and stuff. Is it a big deal? I dunno, maybe. Keeping fans entertained until something brand new drops. Or not. Who knows.

Now, what caught my eye – for some reason I can’t quite place – is this Zelda Notes business. It’s like, a whole thing now in the Switch app that makes playing these classics feel fresh again, although only if you’re playing the latest versions. Honestly, feels like a teaser for bigger things. Maybe it’s just me being overly hopeful, or maybe they’re planning to sprinkle it over more Zelda titles. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Switching gears awkwardly, let’s yap about this feature they’re calling Zelda Notes – like, it’s something they should totally staple onto Echoes of Wisdom. This Zelda Notes thing could mesh beautifully with Echoes. Nintendo just rolled out some tweaks and updates for it on the Switch 2, so why not toss in this app magic while they’re at it? Wild guesswork here, but if these features vibe well with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, no reason Echoes can’t join the club.

Another brainwave (or lack thereof?): adding an achievement system via this app. For Zelda… can you believe Nintendo hasn’t dove into that pool yet? But with Zelda Notes, kind of halfway there. So, perhaps Echoes could get on that bandwagon too?

Ah, before I meander off too far – back to Echoes of Wisdom and this idea of sharing stuff through the Zelda Notes app. Imagine: transforming items into QR codes. Magic, right? Okay, maybe not magic, but hey, practical! Fellow game geeks could swap stuff around, declutter, or just show off. It’s these little things that can jazz up a playthrough.

And, what if they pinch the Autobuild Sharing idea from Tears of the Kingdom, toss it into Echoes? Even if it doesn’t have elaborate building mechanics, a sort of guide feature might be handy for puzzle solvers. Yeah, not quite apples and oranges, but something like that.

Final sidestep – navigation and lore, courtesy of Zelda Notes. Echoes of Wisdom is maybe not sprawling, but still sneaky in hiding goodies and lore tidbits. Getting a peek into the game’s nooks and crannies could be neat, right? Oh, the tales they’d tell through that Voice Memories feature… or maybe it’s all just wishful thinking? Time will tell.

So, what’s the consensus? Just cross your fingers and hope Zelda Notes pops up everywhere you want it, be it old favorites or mysterious, uncharted adventures. And, well, maybe I’ve said too much. Or not enough. Anyway – onward, to wherever Nintendo takes us.
