…another kingdom in need, another sacrifice to be made. Perhaps victories will always be bittersweet… over time, with the cycle coming back around - which seems to be at the core of Zelda series storytelling.

That’s brilliant, and hiding it at the Forgotten Temple feels spot on.
Love the idea of the series shifting focus towards actually ending Demise’s curse, but you’re right… it would never be that simple.

There’d always be something pulling the hero(es) in another direction…

In summary, the Zelda Notes app is more than a simple companion; it's a thoughtful extension of the wild era's world. By integrating Voice memories, Autobuild / item sharing, and global stats, it gives us a reason (beyond the visual and performance upgrades) to return to this iteration of Hyrule.

Amiibo support is in as well — the usual cosmetic gear, resources, or themed materials unlocks. But, with Zelda Notes, you can now use each amiibo figure an extra time each day. Nicely coinciding with the release of 4 new amiibo featuring the TOTK sages Riju, Tulin, Yunobo, and Sidon.

The app also includes a Daily Bonus feature. Log in each day to receive a small reward — from items, to Zonai charges, to weapon repairs. These bonuses might not be huge, but they help smooth out those early or mid-game moments, for less experienced players, when short on resources.
