Nintendo is diligently ensuring that their flagship games perform optimally on the upcoming Switch 2 systems, leading to unexpected patches for games that weren’t frequently updated before. Games like “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” and “Super Smash Bros: Ultimate”, as well as many other Nintendo classics, require some attention to run smoothly on the Switch 2. Now, both “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” and “Tears of the Kingdom” have been added to this list. These games have received upgrades for the new console, but now, updates are being released to address a few bugs in these enhanced versions.

The Legend of Zelda series, famously known from Nintendo, has been a significant attention-grabber. Consequently, when discussing potential editions for Switch 2, these games were pivotal in generating excitement about the console’s enhanced capabilities.

Nonetheless, players enjoying Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom on Switch 2 should ensure they download these updates to ensure a smooth gaming experience.

In both games, updates will enhance the Zelda Notes feature and rectify a bug where Daily Bonus effects from meals weren’t properly activating. Moreover, concerning Tears of the Kingdom, it was experiencing problems with the background music stopping during some battles on Switch 2 – this problem has now been addressed as well.
