The first DLC pack for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild released recently on both Wii U and the Switch, dubbed The Master Trials. I?ve been able to spend ample time with the new content, and as far as DLC goes, this feels like a pretty worthy purchase in my opinion. You get the new Master Mode difficulty, the Trial of the Sword challenge, a host of unique armor and outfits, a teleportation medallion, and the ability to see where you?ve already walked across the Hyrule map. While this doesn?t add any significant story content past a few pages of flavor text, it?s still a worthwhile opportunity to jump back into the game.
The biggest additions are the new Master Mode difficulty and the Trial of the Sword. Master Mode is a tougher difficulty, where enemies are all leveled higher than before, and enemy placement on the map is completely changed around. Managed to get pretty good at avoiding enemies via stealth? Good luck at that with this new difficulty mode as well. Stealth is still a thing, but it becomes much easier for Link to get spotted when skulking around.
The rest of the content might not seem as significant, but there?s definitely some cool items to hunt down. For instance, you can put together a complete Tingle outfit, or even locate Majora?s Mask or Midna?s Mask. These items can?t be upgraded, but provide special bonuses when equipped. The super-helpful Korok mask will even help you locate the many, many Korok?s hidden around Hyrule.
All in all, this initial DLC pack is worth picking up, especially if you?re still toying around with Breath of the Wild. Granted, the next story focused pack is probably the more hotly anticipated of the two, but the gameplay features, additional difficulty, and the Trial of the Sword challenge are nothing to scoff at here. Definitely pick this up, it?s well worth the asking price.
