Master Mode is such a death game. Playing portable mode.

The piano in battle = greatest thing in gaming :') <3

Why can't I find the spoiler thread?

DLC question:
So...what about the enemies? With Ganon gone aren't all the monsters gone too?

???

@carlosrox

Do we know when the DLC takes place? I see a lot of people assuming it will be after the end of the game, but I could see it being a flashback too.

@Secret_Tunnel
Been confirmed that it's post game.

Man, getting into Master Mode the week before finals was not one of the best decisions I've ever made. Finished up all the opening stuff to set up the main quest, and now I've just been exploring areas that I didn't go to my first time around. Still feels fresh, beautiful, and amazing. Hyped to try out Trial of the Sword, even more hyped for that DLC.

@Secret_Tunnel

I need to finish my Master Mode file. I was on my way to the first Divine Beast if I recall.

@carlosrox

It took me a weirdly long time to find it... but I found it.

Ah thanks. How far back was it? I went back pages and pages.

@carlosrox

I don't recall. I just did searches for it. Eventually had to look through KrisWright's post history because I knew he was heavily involved in it.

!!!~~TONIGHT~~!!!

The DLC for Zelda, Champions Ballad, releases TONIGHT folks! It looks awesome. The Game Awards just showed it all off. This looks like it'll really be a special adventure.
12/08/17, 04:35   
So hyped for this. SO HYPED.

@DrFinkelstein
Whaaaaaat!? Wow!
12/08/17, 05:05   
Woo hoo! I was worried it wouldn't hit this year after all!

Will pick this up on Christmas, if no one gets it for me. Can't wait to restart the game and relive such an amazing gaming experience all over again!
12/08/17, 06:53   
I'm almost pissed off we're getting the DLC today. THERE ARE TOO MANY DAMN GAMES TO PLAY ON YOUR SYSTEM, NINTENDO!

Gonna have to make this my christmas break game of choice I suppose. If I can wait for another two weeks before starting it up.

@r_hjort
I'm almost pissed off that you can only access this after beating all 4 Divine Beasts which means I won't be able to play in Master Mode unless I rush through all 4 Beasts on my second game.

@carlosrox
I suppose it makes sense for them to have it locked away like that for plot purposes, but it's too bad that you can't change your difficulty setting more easily. Then again, I think I read on ResetEra that the DLC is meant to be more challenging than the base game, so perhaps you'll get a decent challenge out of it anyway if you don't want to rush the second save.

Still picking away at the last remaining moons in Odyssey, but once I hit a wall there I'll download this. Interested in seeing what the new dungeon/shrine content is like (oh, and how useful the motorcycle will be).
12/08/17, 14:24   
Looks so good! Guess I better hurry up and beat that last divine beast! (145 hours in and still haven't finished lol)
12/08/17, 14:49   
I want that bike.

@Anand
I hope it can ride up sheer cliffs lol. That's the big reason I don't ride horses that much, they can't climb!
12/08/17, 15:32   
I just beat Gannon last weekend. I haven't bought any expansion packs yet, but will for sure. I have Odyssey waiting to be unwrapped for Christmas, so I probably won't get this DLC until February.
