As you likely know, two DLC packs have been confirmed for The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. There’s the Master Trials pack, which was released earlier this year and included a new difficulty mode, the Trial of the Sword and various new bits of armour. And then there’s the Champion’s Ballad one, which will include a new dungeon, extra story content and more armour among other things, with its release date being set to sometime in the next month.
But while these are impressive bits of DLC for the game, it seems like they may not be the last. Why?
Because as it turns out, the Explorer Edition of the title includes a very interesting line of the text in the game. Namely, one that says:
Consider purchasing the expansion pass, which includes the first two DLC packs
Yeah, you read that right. It talks about the ‘first two’ DLC packs, clearly hinting that additional ones may follow the first two.
Which isn’t really much of a surprise when you think about it. Zelda Breath of the Wild is an enormous game, with a ton of interesting possibilities for new content in the form of armour, items, areas and enemies among others. It’s a world that’s incredibly easy for Nintendo to bolt new areas onto or to expand with extra items and mechanics.
So, it would only make sense for them to continue with the DLC into year 2 and beyond. The engine supports it and the demand is there, so why not take advantage of it? More Breath of the Wild DLC is just good business for Nintendo.
But still, what do you think? Are you happy that Breath of the Wild may be getting more DLC in the future? What kind of content are you hoping for in future DLC packs anyway?

It’s been rumoured for a few days now, but after a bit of waiting, LEGO have finally confirmed it:
LEGO Dimensions is over. From here on out there will be no more expansion packs for the game, and thus another Toys to Life franchise bites the dust.
Here’s the tweet confirming it from the official LEGO Dimensions account:
From building and rebuilding to the most bricktacular mash-ups, the Multiverse would be nothing without our amazing community. Thank you. pic.twitter.com/NEDbBXqjyZ
As you can tell, there’s no reason given here. Presumably the game just wasn’t selling any more, and the people behind it thought there was no reason to continue releasing packs as a result.
So yeah, it’s done. But what do you think about the news? Are you disappointed that LEGO Dimensions is now dead? Did you hope it’d last a bit longer than Skylanders and Disney Infinity?

Back when Breath of the Wild was in development, there were a few people asking about a female Link. Or at least, the possibility of playing as a female character in general.
Now, this obviously didn’t happen in the actual game. There, not only can Link not be customised in any (real) way, but no other characters like Zelda are unlockable either. It’s not a bad thing, but it’s disappointed a few people none the less.
However, it seems these folks may finally have just the mod for them! Why? Because an all new project in development does exactly what it says on the tin. It replaces Link with Zelda.
Here’s a video showing this mod in action:
As you can obviously see, it’s pretty early in its development. Indeed, it’s so in fact that we don’t actually get to see Zelda do much of anything in the video. Just walk forward in a straight line, as proof the mod has been inserted into the game.
But hey, just because it’s in the early stages doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea. It’s got the perfect model for Zelda (the one used in the cutscenes in the game itself), and it’s been implemented in a way that looks absolutely perfect so far.
So, if you’re interested in playing Breath of the Wild with Zelda as a main character, check it out. It may not be official (or released yet), but it’ll be a neat option for anyone wanting to play the game with someone new none the less.
But while that was the case with the MMORPG thing, that’s certainly not the case for Zelda Breath of the Wild mods in general! Oh no, in the last few days, the modding scene for the game has absolutely exploded into life.
Which means there are now numerous mods to change Link into every character you can imagine. For example, have you ever wished to play the game as Steve Minecraft?
No, me neither. But quite a few people probably have, and with this interesting mod that’s now completely possible:
And old Steve is only the tip of the iceberg here. Maybe Toy Story is more your thing? If so, here’s Woody complete with a Buzz Lightyear shaped paraglider!
Goku from Dragonball is entirely possible as a model swap too. Here’s a mod for that one:
As well as a mod which replaces Link with the main character from Grand Theft San Andreas. That certainly looks unusual in the world of Hyrule, doesn’t it?
Yeah, I definitely think so there. However, the crowning achievement for character mods isn’t any of those.
Nope, it’s Waluigi! Yup, everyone’s favourite purple clad trickster is now available as a character for the game too:
The memes almost write themselves there. Especially when you add the neat little Wario shield you can get him to use in the latest update:
Yeah, it’s not quite Spirit Tracks by any means. But it’s pure bliss for social media fanatics none the less, and an amusing way to make it seem like Link’s driving a sentient train across the world of Hyrule. What more can you want from the internet?
As you likely know by this point, the next DLC pack for The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is being released in the 2017 holiday period. This pack will include new armour, a new storyline, a new dungeon as well as various other additions to keep it interesting.
But it won’t just include that content in game. Oh no, it’ll also be released with special amiibo based on the game’s champions too.
Unfortunately, no release was ever initially given for the amiibo. Well, until now.
That’s because in a very short presentation included in yesterday’s Direct, Nintendo gave the champion amiibo’s release date as November 10th 2017. So, if you’re an amiibo collector (or Zelda fan in general), that’s when they’ll be available.
And that in turns leads to a few other interesting hints too. Why?
Well, think about it. What else don’t we have a release date for?
Answer: The actual DLC pack in question.
However, we do know it’s coming out in late 2017. Which coincidentally, is exactly where the champion amiibo’s November 10th release date lies.
So, it seems quite likely that the DLC pack will be released near the amiibo.
We also found out that each amiibo unlocks a Divine Beast themed helmet for the Ancient Armour too. These pieces will in turn have their own ‘special functionality’ which will be revealed nearer the time.
They also summon materials and weapons related to the champions, with the latter being the ones you get for clearing a Divine Beast dungeon. So if you want a copy of the Boulder Breaker or Lightscale Trident… here’s your chance. It’s certainly useful for anyone who didn’t get to exploit the World Reset glitch!
And that’s pretty much everything we know here. It’s not much, but it’s a decent extra teaser none the less.
Let’s just hope theother stuff coming in DLC pack 2 is worth the wait as well!
