"Y'know what makes the physics system less frustrating?"

"One hit kill spike BS?"

"Exactly, one-hit kill spike BS. Make that and release it to millions of people."

Anyway, I finished the opening and it's still just shrines as far as the eye can see. It remains to be determined how substantial this DLC actually is and whether or not there will be an actual dungeon or just more of the same. If I had to guess now I'd say there's not going to be a new item in the 'dungeon.'

^ Tried to save scum that, but the game was like naw matey we’re in this one for the long haul. It wasn’t bad, but Link was difficult to move. I think it may have had to do with my joy cons.

The shrines are actually pretty decent tbh. Found several of them to be head scratchers. So far anyways.

What is on the DLC?

So far more trials, new clothing, gear, supposedly a dungeon and a robo horse/cycle thing

@iKhan That was the first thing that came to my mind, I had totally forgotten about that rumor until I saw link on a Motorcycle.

For those wondering, the Champions Ballad DLC is fully integrated into the main game. You have to complete all the Divine Beasts before you can access it.

I can't play the dlc right now since I left the WiiU at home, but... Was that a tiny little baby Sidon I saw in the trailer?

@Meowpheel Oh yeah.

So I took on the first 4 challenges. Which were pretty cool. After that I went and took on one of the champions quest. Which... is more or less the same things you did before in the game. In some cases i’m kinda surprised how literally samey some parts are. Which kinda leaves you scratching your head.

I’m still excited to see the extra dungeon and the awesome bike.

I'm really not feeling this instance kill stuff. I was hoping for more adventuring.

Rest In Peace me. I have to beat the beasts first? Looks like Nikos gotta go to work

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm grateful for the use of spoiler tags when discussing all new content outside of the trailer.

I've bought the DLC today, looking forward to getting back into things. I do miss Hyrule 😞

So, can anyone explain to me how many new shrines or whatever there in the game? Are there even new shrines? I read there was a dungeon? Is it like the others? And does everything take place in the past?

@AlternateButtons I think I can live without it then, maybe I'll double dip once the inevitable GOTY edition comes out and drops in price.

@AlternateButtons At the end? Then what's the point?

Does it add any new stuff to the map? Like, are the shrines accessible from the map? And is there just a fifth divine beast roaming about? I read somewhere you need to beat the main game before you can access the DLC.

The shrines are accessible on map once you do the task to unlock them. You need to have freed all 4 DB to do the DLC.

@-Green- What kind of task it that if you don't mind me asking? Just put it in spoiler tags if it's too spoiler-y, I don't mind the spoilers in this case.

Playing the game this evening. It's the first time in 3 months! Seems amazing that it's been that long. Returning to it now is just like returning to Oz, Narnia, or Middle Earth as a kid - it's wondrously magical all over again. Staggers me there could be GOTY doubters when, in terms of adventure games, this game is GOAT.

I phrased it poorly. It’s actually tasks as you perform a task for each. So I’ll list a few of them if you want to know.
The original four requires defeating multiple camps of enemies using a unique weapon that turns you into a glass cannon but also makes you capable of one shotting any enemy. Afterwards (at least the ones I’ve done) require a process of locating the shrine location through photos and then performing some sort of task. Like defeating a unique boss, clearing different types of obstacle courses like boarding and flying and completing a form of ‘riddle’.

Just fired up the game for the DLC today. Man, I didn't explore as much of the map as I thought I did.

I opted against restarting the game and just continued with the DLC outright. Difficult, of course, but I think I can say I won't replay the game fully yet. I'm already feeling burned out on the idea of exploring the world again.

Love the Obliterator mechanic. It's brilliant.

I particularly like that you're out in the world so you can save the game if you're having trouble... couldn't do that in the Sword of Trials or whatever that last trial DLC was called.
