If you've found yourself wandering aimlessly around the maps of The Legend of Zelda, Nintendo just added a handy new tool: map directions.

Announced the company's Nintendo Direct event on Wednesday, along with the Switch 2, the special editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom made for the new console come not only with advanced frame rates and resolution and support for HDR, but a new app called Zelda Notes.

Zelda Notes is a new platform that can be accessed through the Nintendo Switch app on your smartphone, where you can find a Navigation tool that can guide you to various locations in the games — like Shrines you know are there but you just don't know how to find them. An audio track gives you step by step directions as if you were using Google Maps.

If you're a Tears of the Kingdom building fiend and want to see what happens when you hit "random", Nintendo also announced an "autobuild" feature that just takes whatever you have and throws it together. Plus, you can send build codes to friends using QR codes.

It's not the only game-related news from Nintendo Direct today, with the company announcing the long-awaited new Mario Kart World game.
