    While Breath of the Wild's first DLC pack contains some fantastic moments, on the whole it feels light and, frankly, not yet worth the cost.

    None of the additions are essential, but all of them are interesting to at least some degree. But you’ll have to wait till DLC Pack 2 to know if the expansion pass is really worth it.

    Trials is a hodgepodge of stuff that should have been patched in and stuff worthy of extra development time.

    Master Mode is simply vicious, offering a punishing adventure for even the most hardened of Legend of Zelda players. I honestly don't think I'm up to the task. I look forward to seeing those who are though.

    And of course, if you want a good challenge the new master mode does the trick.

    This DLC is worth your time and money    … Full Review »

The Master Mode lets you play the game again, with the same sense of wonder that the original game conveyed. Enemies not only have gotten tougher, they also hunt you from flying Octoroc platforms that also more often than not come with some really useful and powerful treasure you don't want to miss out on. All in all I am enjoying every minute of the new mode, finding new ways to beat the odds and finally having a challenge after the much too easy main game. If you're one to whine because your weapon breaks all the time, this Mode definitely isn't for you but if you are, like me, someone that hoards the best weapons in the game, it's finally time for you and me to make use of them :)… Full Review »
