Switch 2 Edition of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Lacks DLC

The Nintendo Switch 2 edition of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is officially set to launch, but it comes with a notable catch—the game will not include the Expansion Pass DLC. Players who want access to the extra content will need to pay an additional $20. This situation has created confusion and frustration among fans regarding pricing details for the new console and its titles. While existing players can transfer their game along with the DLC they previously purchased, newcomers seeking the enhanced edition will find it priced at $70, plus another $20 for the DLC, totaling $90. Many gamers are expressing concerns over the cost, especially considering the initial launch of Breath of the Wild was eight years ago. The pricing comparison to other recent titles has led to a mixed reaction, and questions remain about value versus content for returning players or those who are just now exploring Hyrule.

No, the Nintendo Switch 2 edition does not come with the Expansion Pass DLC. Players will need to purchase it separately for an additional $20.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a critically acclaimed open-world action-adventure game that originally released in 2017 for both the Nintendo Switch and Wii U. It received numerous awards and set new standards for game design with its open-ended gameplay and exploration features. The game has since gained a vast fan base, leading to the anticipation of its enhanced version on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, especially with the sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, expanding the lore and mechanics of the franchise even further.
