Zelda Notes is Nintendo's companion service for The Legend of Zelda, built into the Nintendo Switch App for iPhone and Android phones. It arrived with the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5th, 2025 for the Switch 2 Editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and it now also works with the Ocarina of Time remake.
Once your game is linked, Zelda Notes knows what you have found and what you haven't. It can guide you to the places you've missed, record your play as stats and medals, compare you with players around the world, and give you extras like a daily bonus. Each game has its own set of features: eight for Breath of the Wild, nine for Tears of the Kingdom and eleven for Ocarina of Time. A Nintendo Switch Online membership isn't needed.

Shrines, caves, hidden Koroks and more on a map, with your completion status. Pick a destination and voice guidance leads you there, like a GPS for Hyrule.
Zelda's memories, scattered around Hyrule. When you reach certain places you discover a recording, and you can replay any you've found.
Move items from the game into your item box in the app and back again, and swap items with other players by connecting item boxes with a QR code. Items can be moved between games, but only once.
Import pictures taken with the in-game camera, or screenshots of the game uploaded from your console, and decorate them with Zelda-themed stamps, frames and QR codes. Images are kept for 30 days, up to 300 at a time.
Your own numbers, like distance traveled and enemies defeated, compared with players around the world, with a breakdown by area of the map.
Your play is recorded as stats, and reaching milestones earns medals in four ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Master. You can also set a profile picture from Photo Studio.
Once a day you spin for an effect you can use in the game at any time, such as refilling your hearts or stamina, repairing your weapons, bow or shield, or the effect of a meal or elixir. Activate it from the Key Items menu.
Zelda amiibo you scan in the game are added to a collection with pictures of the figure and its packaging. Scan the same amiibo five times to unlock a bonus.
Our Breath of the Wild map and Worldwide Stats page use the same data.

Tears of the Kingdom has everything Breath of the Wild has, with Shrines of Light and the Depths on the Navigation map, plus Autobuild Sharing.
Shrines of Light, caves, hidden Koroks and more across the sky, the surface and the Depths, with voice guidance and your completion status.
The memories of three characters, scattered across Hyrule. One set follows Master Kohga after he falls into the Depths, told in three parts.
Send a design from your Autobuild history to the app, turn it into a QR code and share it. Scan someone else's code and send it to your game to build it yourself.
Save items from the game in your item box, share them with other players, or move them between games (each item only once).
Photo Studio, Global Play Data, Medals, Daily Bonus and amiibo work the same way as in Breath of the Wild. In Tears of the Kingdom the Daily Bonus can also recharge your energy cells.
