Zelda BotW - DLC (WiiU/Switch)

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild gets its first paid DLC pack on Friday, June 30 and we have the details on how all of the new items will help your quest. Even if the extra-tough new difficulty mode and Trials of the Sword challenge rooms haven’t grabbed your attention, you’ll definitely want to check out the useful (and in many cases familiar) goodies Link can find.

All of these items can be found in chests scattered across Hyrule once the update goes live, assuming you’ve purchased the Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass. Get hunting!


  • Majora’s Mask
    Put this mask on and enemies like Bokoblins, Moblins, and Stalfos won’t be hostile (at least initially). Don’t expect it to work on bigger threats like Hynox or Lynels, though. It also glows in the dark and looks really creepy, just like when Skull Kid wore it back in the day. Hopefully it won’t possess you.

  • Tingle’s Outfit
    Well, this isn’t going to help Tingle’s reputation as a creeper. Don the hood, tights, and shirt of Tingle and you’ll receive the “Night Speed Up” set bonus. I was kind of hoping it would make Octo Balloons last longer or have more lift instead, but oh well.

  • Midna’s Helmet
    Equip Midna’s Helmet and you’ll receive the “Guardian Resist Up” buff, which should come in handy for those Test of Strength shrines - not to mention your final assault on Hyrule Castle. No, it doesn’t come with a Wolf Link friend, you’ll still need to tap an Amiibo for that.

  • Phantom Armor
    Sorry, this armor doesn’t make you invulnerable from frontal attacks like in Phantom Hourglass. What it does do is give you an Attack Power set bonus. It also looks like it will have pretty good defense, since it’s a frickin’ giant suit of plate mail.

  • Korok Mask
    Haven’t managed to find all 900 (yes seriously, there are 900) Koroks yet? Me neither. Equipping this mask will help us out: just slap this big ol’ leaf on Link’s face and it will start to shake whenever a Korok is hidden nearby. Yahaha.

  • Travel Medallion
    Once you find the Travel Medallion, you can use it to set your current location as a fast travel point. Only one custom point may be registered at a time but just imagine all the potential uses for it, from super-fast arrow resupply runs to revisiting distant areas that are rich in ore.

Does anyone in grg have this? Daughter has a wii u…need to find her another kid friendly game.

I have this on the Switch, well, I bought it for my girlfriend but I’ve played a few hours.

I really enjoyed it. Reminiscent of the old Zelda games, though I think the smaller puzzles are a little easier and the bigger puzzles are closer to the old temples and such.

Fighting is more of a central theme, weapons having durability means there are loads more and you’re constantly picking new ones up and replacing them.

Graphics are shiny and open-world is quite nice, though if you go in the wrong direction you could die quite easily, so although exploration is welcomed, straying too far into a harder zone will likely just have you running or dying.

Definitely kid friendly, though perhaps the fighting/puzzles could be a bit challenging? Depends on the age of your kid I guess.
