Well, well. It sounds like Nintendo is fully embracing the AAA potential of the next The Legend of Zelda game by offering up its first Season Pass for a console release. Or, as it's being called, an Expansion Pass. And hey, Breath of the Wild looks and plays amazingly well so we're totally down for this. For an additional $30 AUD you get two DLC packs that will be released this year, plus treasure chests containing exclusive items and clothing that can be found in-game on day one.

Here's a clip of Nintendo's Eiji Aonuma introducing the additional content.

"The world of Hyrule, which we created for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is so large and vibrant that we wanted to offer more for players to experience within it," said Nintendo developer Eiji Aonuma, the long-time producer of the series. "With this new Expansion Pass, we hope that fans will play, explore and enjoy the game even more."

As highlighted in the video, the first DLC pack will introduce a new Cave of Trials challenge and a new Hard mode, and the second DLC pack will feature new story content and a new dungeon.
