Zelda BOTW DLC #1 - Trial of the Sword News

In The Legend of Zelda Breath of the wild, you have a massive open world that you can explore. But if you are like me and have already explored every inch of the land of Hyrule, You are probably gonna get the DLC Pack. First off, let me translate this out of nerd language for you. DLC means Downloadable content, or an expansion to the original game. sometimes DLCs are free, but they Usually cost money. only DLCs By the company that made the full Game, are actual DLCs. otherwise, it's a Modification, and some companies dislike that. We also need to go over what will Be in the DLC Pack. The first DLC contains multiple items. we will be going over all of them.

Hero's Path

Zelda BOTW DLC #1 Detail - The Hero's Path

The Hero's path is something that you automatically get with DLC, and is on your shekiah slate automatically. It tracks where link has gone in the past 200 hours of gameplay. this can be very helpful for completionists who want to know exactly where they went so they don't go over it again. Not much information is available, but there is a demo video at the official announce page. Click Here to see the announcement by Nintendo.

Trial of the Sword

When link goes to a specific "sacred" location, he can take on "The Trial Of The Sword". In this, there are 45 rooms, and link must complete them all by defeating the enemies. But there's a catch - it takes away all of your equipment in the start, and doesn't give it back until you finish it. When you finish it, your reward is the master sword is always in its powered up state. This means it will always do 60 damage, instead of 30 damage.

Hard Mode

Enemies can also be found In Mid Air!

If you thought the original game was hard, listen to this. In the new DLC, enemies now regain health! This will make the game significantly harder. also, enemies now level up. for example, a normal red bokoblin would be a blue bokoblin. there is also something higher than silver level!(Gold Maybe?) Keep in mind this can be toggled on/off.

Travel Medallion

Somewhere in Hyrule lies the travel Medallion, which allows link to fast travel to any location he wants. But he can only do one at a time, Meaning he most go to a place, mark it, and then he can fast travel there. but he can only have 1.
