Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass Worth It?

Nintendo just announced the contents of the Breath of the Wild DLC Pack 1 which is the first installation of DLC available to Expansion Pass owners. I haven’t purchased the Expansion Pass yet, and after seeing DLC Pack 1… I’m going to continue holding off.

If you want a full list of what’s inside, you can check it out here.

It’s basically cosmetic outfits, a way to see exactly where you’ve been in the last 2 hours, a fast travel marker, hard mode, a korok seed location detector, and a horde mode called “Trial of the Sword.”

There’s not actually any ‘content’ other than Hode Mode — and that’s borderline content.

I’m going to wait until there are more areas to explore, more dungeons — maybe true dungeons — and see if purchasing later makes sense.

As for now, I’m actually on the last little bit before heading to fight Ganon. I’ve taken my sweet time combing the land for shrines and goodies. I’ve explored as much as I can, collected all I’ve seen, and really tried to comprehensively play with “no remorse” for having skipped anything. I’ll formulate an overall thoughts posts as soon as I finish.

  • I’m dubious of any and all Season Pass types of DLC. Similar to the view I’ve adopted about not pre-ordering games any more.

    Breath of the Wild was the first Zelda game for me in a long time unless you count Windwalker HD which I played but did not finish as I just didn’t like the game very much. Overall I enjoyed Breath of the Wild. The beginning was pretty rough and made me rage hard enough I taught my 4-year old some words she doesn’t really need to know right now.

    I have not bought a Switch and have no plans to at this time so it was a good last hurrah for my Wii U.

  • Don’t know anything about it but guessing by the pics it’s some sort of ghey elf war niche game?
