Content

Upon Purchase

Once the player has purchased the DLC, they will immediately gain access to three bonus chests on the Great Plateau. These chests can be found close to some of the Shrines on the plateau, containing different items, namely the Nintendo Switch Shirt, 5 Bomb Arrows, and a singular Ruby. These chests are colored purple with the letters EX marked on the top. Once opened, they will no longer be in their positions if Link returns to their location.

The chests can be found in the following locations:

• Outside the Oman Au Shrine (Ruby)
• On the wall by the Ja Baij Shrine (Nintendo Switch Shirt)
• On the collapsed wall behind the Keh Namut Shrine (Bomb Arrows)

The Master Trials

• Trial of the Sword - Similar to previous enemy gauntlets in the Zelda series, Link faces many ambitious challenges against various enemies in the game. Upon completion, the Master Sword will be in its powered-up state, with a power of 60, at all times.
• Master Mode - Reminiscent of Hero Mode from other Zelda games, Hyrule is riddled with more enemies than ever. Link will face stronger enemies earlier on in the game, such as the vicious Black Bokoblins on the Great Plateau. Enemies also can be found airborne atop of rafts, giving them an aerial advantage to lay waste to Link. Furthermore, new Gold variations of existing enemies can be found across Hyrule. It is currently unknown how these enemies will vary from existing types.
• Hero's Path - This feature allows the player to track their previous movements around the map for their past 200 hours of gameplay with a green line.
• Masks and Armor - New pieces of armor and masks are present in this DLC pack, including the Tingle's Outfit and Majora's Mask. A Korok Mask is present also, which shakes when Link is close to a hidden Korok, helping him collect the 900 Korok Seeds.
• Travel Medallion - A helpful tool which allows Link to register his currently location as a fast travel point on the map. Only one location can be registered with this item though.
