Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild DLC announced – new trials and a hard mode

The wildly successful role-playing adventure has new content coming, with fresh challenges, new modes and a useful seed-hunting mask

Nintendo has revealed the contents of the first piece of downloadable content for the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and the reason to get excited can be summed up in two words: Eventide Island.

The DLC, now officially named The Master Trial, focuses on a new area (previously called the Cave of Trials but now renamed the Trial of the Sword) which looks to replicate the best area of the base game, an island where the rules of play are overturned and players have to relearn everything from scratch.
