First DLC pack detailed for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

New trial, hard mode, equipment and more

Posted on

Nintendo has provided details about the first DLC pack, called The Master Trials, for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

The Master Trials aunches this summer, while the second DLC pack launches in holiday 2017. The two packs are only available as a bundle for a price of $19.99.

The Master Trials includes a number of new features, starting with the Trial of the Sword. Here, enemies appear one after another. Link starts without any armor or weapons, and if he defeats all of the enemies in the room he can proceed to the next area. Trial of the Sword will include around 45 total rooms for players to complete.

In Hard Mode, the “ranks” of enemies in the game are increased, and players might even encounter higher-ranking enemies they wouldn’t find through normal play. Enemies will also slowly recover health in battle, and more easily spot Link as he approaches. In addition, floating planks held aloft by balloons will be scattered around Hyrule. By successfully reaching these planks, players can battle enemies and collect treasure.

To help with tracking progress, the new Hero’s Path Mode will document every step players take, and mark their path in green on the map. The route taken will be tracked for the player’s last 200 hours of play time, with an included slider to track footsteps on a timeline. This even works retroactively, so players that have already put many hours into the game will be able to see where they have traveled. This feature will help in identifying the locations they haven’t visited in this vast world, and may help players find those Shrines they haven’t encountered yet.

There will be a new treasure chest somewhere in the game world which contains the Travel Medallion. With the Travel Medallion, players can create a temporary new travel point on the map where they are currently standing. Link can then transport himself to that point at any time. Only one travel point can be registered on the map at a time.

By finding the new Korok Mask, players will have a much easier time finding Korok locations in the game. When equipped, the mask will shake, indicating that a Korok is hidden somewhere nearby. Also included are eight new pieces of equipment inspired by previous characters and games in the series.

All DLC is available for both the Nintendo Switch and Wii U versions of the game.
