Nintendo Finally Speaks Up To Justify 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild' Season Pass

Several news and fan reactions broke out after the "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" Season Pass surfaced on the internet as it was deemed as a shady business. However, a Nintendo representatives show up to explain and justify the company's decision to "expand" the experience.

According to a recent report from Nintendo Life, one of Nintendo's representative, Bill Trinen, was able to speak with IGN and had the opportunity to explain what the season pass fuzz for "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" was stirring and why it shouldn't be taken as the company, trying to take advantage of its fans. For those who missed the news, the DLC was made to appear quite expansive, but will only be released months after the initial outing of the game.

According to Trinen, the folks at Nintendo did, in fact, have a bit of debate regarding what to do with the huge world of Hyrule. As with every Nintendo game, the team always see it point that every possible way to make the game as great is made and this particular "Zelda" launch title is not an exception.

"We want people to be able to enjoy exploring this world, and so they started thinking about, 'Well, if we were going to do DLC, what would we do, how would we do it?' And you can see that in the fact that it's not... the DLC is not launching the day after the game or the week after." Trinen states. "It's coming out several months later in the form of the first pack and then several months after that in the form of the second pack. And that's because the content is in development," he added.

As shown on the official "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" Expansion Pass video, two separate DLC packs will be released for the game, which includes a new difficulty, an exclusive in-game map feature and possibly, new story content. The only immediate things that players will get to see are the "useful" items, which will be available at launch.

Whether the season passes for "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is a good idea or not, is entirely subjective, but these statements must at least give the fans a sigh of relief with Nintendo, not simply getting with the times and actually caring for the game's longevity. Still, the timing could have been better in order to spark such speculations, but then again, this is also prejudiced.
