It’s likely that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will get some form of DLC, and this content could build upon Zelda’s role established in the base game.
While The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom revolutionizes a lot of elements of the series and builds upon the foundation laid by Breath of the Wild, there is still a lot of territory left to be explored that could make for some great DLC. One area in particular that could use some fleshing out is the story of the Imprisoning War that Link sees glimpses of during the Dragon’s Tears quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Given her prominence in this part of the story, a DLC that focuses on this event would be the perfect opportunity to include Zelda herself as a playable character.
Although no DLC plans have been confirmed yet, the predecessor to Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild, did receive an expansion pass with two waves of DLC which make it likely that this most recent entry will follow a similar route. The first wave of Breath of the Wild’s DLC mostly consisted of new modes that players could experience like Master Mode, Hero’s Path Mode, and the Trial of the Sword. The second wave contained some more story-focused content with the Champions’ Ballad quest, but DLC for Tears of the Kingdom could take this concept to the next level.
