New Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Update Adds Master Cycle Zero and Breath of the Wild Link
Posted on July 19 2018 by Rod Lloyd
The Master Cycle Zero may have been a shock when initially announced for The Champions’ Ballad, but Breath of the Wild‘s second DLC pack wasn’t actually the first time Link sat in the seat of rip-roaring motorcycle. Back in 2014, the original Master Cycle appeared alongside our favorite hero in a crossover DLC pack for Mario Kart 8. Well, with the latest model making its debut in The Champions’ Ballad late last year, the Master Cycle Zero and Breath of the Wild Link are ready to join the long-running racing series in a brand new update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Nintendo recently announced that the latest free update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will add a slew of new content inspired by Breath of the Wild. The version 1.6.0 patch will add the Master Cycle Zero as a new vehicle, Champion’s Tunic Link as a new playable character, a new set of Sheikah-inspired tires called Ancient Tires, and a new glider based on the Paraglider from Breath of the Wild. You can check out all the new Zelda content in a trailer recently released by Nintendo right here.
