Big Clarification from Nintendo!

In a move that has left fans buzzing, Nintendo recently clarified a key detail about the highly anticipated Switch 2 Edition of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild*. Despite the excitement surrounding this upgraded console, it turns out that this enhanced version will NOT include any of the paid DLC. This revelation comes amidst a flurry of information following last week's big Switch 2 announcement.

What Does This Mean for Players?

While it may not be shocking—Nintendo hasn't suggested otherwise—it has certainly raised eyebrows, especially since the marketing for the Switch 2 Edition has given off a 'definitive edition' vibe. This edition is one of six new Switch 2 titles that were showcased, which also includes other fan favorites like *Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom*, *Super Mario Party Jamboree*, *Kirby and the Forgotten Land*, *Metroid Prime 4: Beyond*, and *Pokémon Legends Z-A*.

What’s New in the Switch 2 Editions?

Each of these special editions brings a plethora of enhancements, featuring upgrades in frame rates and resolutions, along with unique game-specific features. Players will have the option to buy these as standalone digital or physical games. Additionally, Nintendo is offering a paid upgrade path for those who already own the original Switch versions, adding to the complexity of the situation.

Don’t Forget the Extra Costs!

This new information has been further complicated by the premium price tag attached to the Switch 2 Editions, compared to their predecessors. To clarify, Nintendo announced, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition does not include The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass DLC." The paid DLC will require fans to cough up an additional amount, roughly around £85, to fully experience the magic of Breath of the Wild on the Switch 2.

Conclusion: Mark Your Calendars!

So, if you’re gearing up to dive back into the world of Hyrule with the Switch 2, be prepared to budget a bit more if you want the complete experience. Mark your calendars and plan accordingly—because this adventure is shaping up to be just as thrilling as ever!
