* [[Trial of the Sword]] - Similar to previous enemy gauntlets in the Zelda series, Link faces many ambitious challenges against various [[Breath of the Wild Enemies|enemies]] in the game. Upon completion, the [[Master Sword]] remains in its powered-up state, with a power of 60, as long as it is usable (rather than drained of energy).

* [[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#Breath of the Wild|Hyrule]]. They have a lot more health than the silver variants.  

* [[Hero's Path Mode]] - 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 Seed]]s.

* [[Travel Medallion]] - A helpful tool which allows Link to register his current location as a fast travel point on the map. Only one location can be registered with this item.

* [[EX The Champions' Ballad]] - Starting with a trial on the Great Plateau focusing on the [[One-Hit Obliterator]], Link has to take out groups of enemies with this weapon, which reveals four new [[Shrine of Trials|Shrines]], each with unique puzzles. After this is completed, the One-Hit Obliterator will return to its resting place in the [[Shrine of Resurrection]], and four [[Stone Monument]]s will rise in various provinces. Travelling to each will reveal new locations to visit, each hiding another three Shrines, meaning there are 16 new Shrines, but only 4 additional [[Spirit Orb]]s. After each set of Shrines is completed, Link can travel inside the [[Divine Beast]]s once more and take on the form of Calamity Ganon in an [[Illusory Realm]], with a restricted set of items. After completion, a new [[Recovered Memory|Memory]] is unlocked, focusing on a specific [[Champion]]. Once all four Memories are obtained, Link can return to the Shrine of Resurrection once again, and can take on the [[Final Trial]] Divine Beast, which has four unique puzzles. After the dungeon is complete, Link can challenge [[Monk Maz Koshia]] in one final boss fight. The reward for completing this Trial is the [[Master Cycle Zero]], a [[Sheikah]]-designed motorcycle which travels at a similar speed to a horse.

* Masks and Armor - New pieces of armor and masks are present in this DLC pack, including [[Ravio's Hood]] and the Phantom Ganon Outfit. These items are hidden in chests across Hyrule.

* Horse Armor - There is a new [[Ancient Saddle|Saddle]] and [[Ancient Bridle|Bridle]] in this pack too, each having their own benefits to the horse wearing them.
