The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild DLC 1

The Trial of the Sword

As soon as Link reaches a certain holy place, he can face the test of the sword. In this he has to face the onslaught of a whole horde. Wave after wave, Link has to defeat the opponents and initially has no equipment or weapons. Only when he has defeated all opponents in one room can he advance to the next. If the player passes all challenges, about 45 rooms in total, then the true power of the master sword is awakened. As a result, it is always in its charged, glowing state.

Hero's Path Mode

With this new map feature you can track your path through the world of Hyrule. Using a timeline, you can see where you have spent most of the time and where there may be undiscovered secrets. There is almost certainly a temple or two hidden in the wilderness somewhere that is worth exploring.

Hard mode

In this mode, enemies regenerate their health points, so you better kill them off as quickly and decisively as possible. In addition, all opponents are one level higher than normal. This will make the Red bokoblins from normal mode, suddenly too Blue Bokoblins. Opponents can even exceed the maximum level of normal. You should also take a look at the sky, there you will now also find enemies and treasure chests.

The travel medallion

With this new item, which you first have to find in the world, you can set your current position as a quick travel point. This should make your travels much faster, but you can only set one position at a time.

New armor

8 treasure chests have been hidden all over Hyrule, in which new pieces of armor are hidden from previous The Legend of Zelda Titles were inspired. For example Majora's mask. So keep an eye out and get these legendary items.

The DLC for The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is slated for release this summer.
