Hi, there! I’m back at it again to pump you full of facts about things you didn’t know about Zelda: Breath of the Wild. What we’ll be covering now is the first DLC provided for this awesome game called The Master Trials DLC.
The Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass comes with two DLCs. This will come with both DLCs and give you access to three new treasure chests. So let’s see what The Master Trials DLC holds.
Master Mode
The Master Trials adds more of a challenge for players, especially if you are one of those hardcore players of BOTW. With Master Mode, all enemies are leveled up. An example of this would be all red Bokoblins will be blue Bokoblins.
This mode also adds a little more zest by allowing all enemies to now slowly regenerate health as well as enemies now being able to level up and get a health regeneration ability. This becomes incredibly challenging as even the bosses will slowly regenerate health, so timing your attacks becomes crucial.
Trail of the Sword
In this DLC, there is a quest that is called the Trial of the Sword. If you want to really test your wit and face groups of enemies, then this is the quest for you. This quest has about 40 mini-dungeons which Link must go through. When you start, Link will have no armor, weapons, or items.
Through each stage, you must collect the items which you will use in the trials. You might be asking what’s the point of this trial? Well, with the completion of a set amount of trials, the Master Sword will be given permanent bonuses. Bonuses like bumping the attack damage from 30 to 40, for example.
New Items and Features
One of the new features that come with this DLC is that there’s a Hero’s Path Mode added to the map. With Hero’s Path Mode, it shows the path Link has walked over the last 200 hours. This is a great help if you’re trying to recall the place you last visited or just reminisce about where you’ve been.
Also, there is a surplus variety of new armor and items that are in the game. One of them includes Midna’s Helmet from The Legend of Zelda Twillight Princess and a Korok’s Mask that can help you find Koroks.
Tip of the day
Throw a rusty weapon at an Octorok when they’re sucking air. The Otoroks in or near the Death Mountain region will spit back a new weapon. Give it a shot!
Summary
If you’re a hardcore Breath of the Wild fan, then this DLC will add more to your playtime as well as bring you more of a challenge. There are lots of add-ons for The Master Trials. My question to you is, do you think you can take on these new challenges?
