Nintendo Outlines The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild DLC Plans
Nintendo has announced The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's DLC, containing two content packs covered by one Expansion Pass for $19.99.
Both are coming this year, and the first one is scheduled for this summer. It includes the Cave of Trials challenge, a hard mode, and "a new feature for the in-game map."
The second is set for this holiday season, and it contains challenges, a new dungeon, and a "new original story."
Both content packs are not sold individually – players must buy the Expansion Pass to get any of the DLC. Upon purchase or pre-purchase (the Expansion Pass is available when the game comes out on March 3), players get three treasure chests in the game's Great Plateau. Two contains items, while the third has a Switch logo shirt for Link that is exclusive to the pass.
The Expansion Pass and its DLC is also available for the Wii U version of the game, and the contents are identical.

Our Take
What do you think of having to buy the Expansion Pass with no option to buy the DLC individually?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
