they introduced dlcs before the game even came out

but it still looks really cool, excited to see what the story's about

Hard Mode and Cave of Trials is DLC now? Kind of disappointed in that. Second DLC pack looks good, but I don't like them taking content that has been in most of the Zelda's now for free as DLC.

It said NEW hard mode so hopefully we're given a hard mode for free and that one is just a different type. After all every game provides it for free, it would be disappointing if BotW didn't do that.

Could they maybe finish the game before developing DLC? I thought Nintendo was better than that.

The game's gone gold which means that they did finish developing it.

It's already finished, and the DLC packs will come out Summer 2017 and Winter 2017 not right at launch, it adds more playable content which people who've primarily beat most of the game can enjoy and make use of.

Only mistake they made was releasing hard mode as a DLC, whether this applies to the overall game or the Trials it should have just been the default difficulty of it.

The price for the pass is only $20 it's not bad at all, and hopefully this mean we will see regular DLC added to keep bringing us new content to play.

I think what separates this from most Zelda games is when you complete the game/story line there is still things to do and reasons for you to play, most Zelda games you beat the final boss and finish the game but not this one.

is anyone here actually getting botw on Wii U?

personally I'll be getting the switch version.

I was *going* to so dusty and I could play at the same time, but after seeing how much better it looks on the switch I don't wanna be deprived of that higher quality rendering and environmental sounds.

Also saving an extra $60.

I thought the only difference was the render distance and enhanced sound?
