It's fun to go back to BOTW but I didn't expect underwhelming DLC like this from Nintendo. They need to pay more attention to the best examples like The Witcher and Horizon.
This DLC costs 10 dollars, has 16 shrines (I think ?), a dungeon, several new armor sets, a bike, and more stuffIt's fun to go back to BOTW but I didn't expect underwhelming DLC like this from Nintendo. They need to pay more attention to the best examples like The Witcher and Horizon.

Like.. what did you expect lol
Might be reaching, but Wind Waker literally had a GBA in the Tingle Tuner item. It had an LCD screen and buttons and everything. Along with boat turrets. And spotlights. And Majora's Mask straight up had a jukebox in one of the areas.Not a fan at all of them adding too much technological stuff in my Zelda :/. What's next: cars and guns? Yep no fun allowed and all that but I think there should be a line for this kind of stuff and I feel like they crossed it here. Granted this just a DLC but even then I don't like that.
For 20 you get both DLCsIt costs 20$, i.e. half the price of A Link Between Worlds at release.

Weird that you can walk straight to the final boss after leaving the plateau (without requiring anything else) but gate the DLC behind completing all of the dungeons.

Buy my 20$ note for just 15$ (can only be bought as a bundle with this nice 5$ note for 15$) - it's a steal basically.No it doesn't lol. 20 is for the expansion pass, which this DLC is the second half of.
So you're judging half of the DLC for the full priceBuy my 20$ note for just 15$ (can only be bought as a bundle with this nice 5$ note for 15$) - it's a steal basically.
Well, since the other half is just some boring hard mode and a fighting challenge that is - in my eyes - completely worthless, and I cannot just get the second half... yes.So you're judging half of the DLC for the full price
That's very honest at least
I'm torn in that I'd like to read impressions because the first BotW DLC was super-disappointing (hard mode was about as bad an implementation as they could have done), yet at the same time I've already bought the damn thing so I might as well go in blind.
All I'll say is that the first content pack was very content-light so this one had better make up the bulk of the value I paid. I guess Xenoblade is going on hold for a while, but how long remains to be seen...
EDIT: Before finding out what's in it, I expect this DLC to introduce at least some new story elements, some new overworld map feature or area, new shrines and a new dungeon (in the new area most likely). That would be fair.

As far as I know, you can't buy this separtely from DLC1 so it's $20. Even when combined, BOTW's DLC is a far cry from The Frozen Wilds ($20), Hearts of Stone ($10) and Blood and Wine ($20).
The new armor sets are integrated in a boring manner (plain old treasure hunts in already-existing areas), the shrines and the trials reuse a lot of assets, BOTW's dungeons are far from its best part so a new one isn't much of a draw. I suppose I was hoping for a substantial bit of story in a new area but that didn't happen.
edit: I'm not done with the new DLC so the story stuff may impress me in the end. I'm just not feeling it so far.
Gotta say, the one hit plateau challenge is pretty bullshit. Combat is the weakest aspect of this game, and it's a huge shame that they doubled down on it on both DLCs. Not very pleased with it so far.
Other developers have done so much more with $20 DLC.
* shrug * Can't please everyone.The one hit plateau stuff is awesome. Love sneaking in on dudes and frantically running away when spotted.
I get you guys don't want to waste money, but this weird equation of "I better get 200 square feet of new gameplay for every $4 I spent on this DLC" is weird to me.

Good for you. I'm happy you enjoyed it.That "boring hard mode" gave me an additional 50 hours of gameplay...
How does this DLC compares to the previous DLC? Is it combat heavy?
Master Trials was fucking horrible. Who thought it was a good ideal to build a DLC focused entirely on the game's worst aspect? If its just more of that I'm going to pass on it.
I already finished it (lol), i think it was kinda underwhelming, except for the puzzles, the puzzles are p fucking good.
The bike is hella fun too.
You really just have to have beaten all four Divine Beasts. There's no way to actually continue from finishing the game (as in beating Calamity Ganon).So you gotta beat the game first, huh? I guess I'll do this on completed save, then.
Anyone know how long this is?
If you didn't like that, you probably won't like this, although it's not entirely combat focused.
Personally, I found Trial of the Sword to be my favorite bit of gaming of 2017.
New bosses confirmed, someone bought the pictures.
Molduking
Igneo Talus Titan
Monk Maz Koshia
The first two are self explanatory probably. Likely stronger versions. The third one I'm guessing is the boss of the dungeon. His slot is after Master Kohga's
