We have more information about the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild expansions.
DLC Pack One, “The Master Trials,” will arrive on June 30th and feature:
- Trial of the Sword challenges the player to go through waves of enemies in a total of 45 rooms. By completing the challenge, Link will prove that he has grown worthy, and the Master Sword will be awakened to always be in its glowing, powered-up state while useable.
- New Master Mode offers unique challenges to the player via stronger enemies and floating platforms. You might even meet higher ranking enemies you don’t see in normal mode!
- Hero’s Path mode tracks every step you take, so you can watch the last 200 hours of your journey unfold on the map, and use a slider to scroll through a timeline. This is a helpful feature to see where in the world you have yet to explore.
- The Travel Medallion will let you register the location you’re currently at as another fast travel point on the map.
- Korok Mask – If Link wears it, it will shake when a hidden Korok is nearby.
- Eight additional pieces of armor themed after previous Zelda game characters – Midna, Tingle and Phantom. Each piece is in a treasure chest located somewhere in Hyrule, which you must find.
- Four new Champion amiibo™ figures* will be coming later. More details will be announced at a later date.
- Save data for your game in Master Mode will be kept separately from your regular mode save data.
Not to be outdone, DLC Pack 2, “The Champions’ Ballad,” arrives this Fall. Details are still scarce, but we hope to hear more soon.
