Zelda: Breath of the Wild just announced a DLC pass and people are flipping out
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Leg𝓀end of Zelda: Breath of the Wild won't just have paid DLC, it will have a full expansion pass worth of extra stuff. Nintendo made the surprise announcement with a special video from series producer Eiji Aonuma today, and the reaction was… well, not everybody hated it.
But first, here's what's actually includ⛄ed in the $19.99 / £17.99 pass:
So some extra items at launch (including an in-game shirt with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch logo, so that's kinda weird), th💧en extra features for challenge-seekers over the summer, and a bigger update with a new dungeon and "original story" in time for holiday 2017. Oh, and you can't purchase the packs individually on Sw𝓀itch or Wii U, it's all-or-nothing. Now here's what folks are saying.
People were mad, obviously
DLC in the new Zelda 👎🏽
I love the Zelda games m♔ore so than any other, and I am deeply excited for BotW, but really? Season DLC🌌 passes for items and a new story??
It sucks to see a sacred property such as Zelda getting DLC, especially it being announced before the game is ev✃en out
The DLC hard mode was a sore spot
If it turn🎉s out that the only Hard Mode in BotW is lockeꦆd behind DLC then I might be cancelling my Switch pre-order.
Hero ModeY🌜'🎉know, the thing that comes with a majority of the 3D Zeldas //t.co/VzG5YHfdFy
The only thi♔ng that seems bad about the Zelda DLC is that hard mode is ꩲDLC.
We don't know the "New Hard Mode" coming in DLC Pack 1 is the only hard mode that will be available in Breath of the Wild. In fact, calling it "new" makes it sound like there may already be one in the base game. Typical hard or "Hero" modes in Zelda games make you take extra damage and rely on potions to heal yourself, so maybe this "New Hard Mode" could crank up the game's survival elements as well, like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 4 Survival Mode.
Some people were excited about further Zelda-ing
I am 0% mad about #Zelda #BreathOfTheWild having DLC 'cause Mario🐽 Kart 8's DLC was also $20 and added 50% more to the game lonꦦg after launch
This Zelda DLC seems like a FINE way to reward fans who want more out of an🐽 ALREADY 🔜HUGE GAME, and a great way for fans to support Nintendo
I am SO down for some Zelda DLC. I🏅t's not really the game I would expec❀t to include DLC, so I'm curious as to what we'll get.
While others had their own ideas for DLC add-ons
This new Zelda DLC is worth every penny af pic.twit𒊎ter.ꦕcom/QUgdhO1OGG
hold on nintendo jus🐓t announced even more zelda dlc pic.twitter.com/JfYhXiENwJ
Aonuma says that "new story" included in Zelda DLC will "deliberately contradict whichever timeline theory a🅺bout BotW becomes most popular".
Me? I'm just loo🅘king forward to DLC Pack 2 as an excuse to dive back into Breath of the Wild over the holiday break. Assuming the gam🐈e's good, that might be worth $20 to me all by itself.
