ZELDA NOTES · UNDERSTANDING QR CODES
Your blueprint.
The right way into the game.
How Autobuild Sharing and Item Sharing work with Nintendo’s official service. This guide is separate from our Ocarina of Time guides and LG Coin.
What you need
- Nintendo Switch App on a compatible smart device.
- The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom.
- For shared Autobuild schematics: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.
- Nintendo states that no Nintendo Switch Online membership is required.
Receive a schematic
- Open ZELDA NOTES in Nintendo’s official Switch App.
- Choose Autobuild Sharing and its QR-scanning option.
- Scan the schematic QR Code shared by its creator.
- Use ZELDA NOTES to import the received schematic into the matching game.
Share and receive items
- Send supported game items to your ZELDA NOTES Item Box.
- Create the sharing QR Code there and share it with other players yourself.
- Recipients scan the code in ZELDA NOTES and receive the items through their Item Box.
Some TotK items are converted to different items when received in the BotW Switch 2 Edition.
What Link Guide provides here
A source-based explanation of the official features. Link Guide does not create or verify Nintendo item codes, promise Ocarina of Time compatibility, or require a wallet or coins. A public QR-image exchange is not available here yet.
Open the official service yourself. If you scan someone else’s QR Code outside ZELDA NOTES, check the displayed destination before opening it.
