The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s second and final expansion, The Champions’ Ballad, was released on December 7, 2017, as part of the game’s Expansion Pass. This DLC introduced additional content to an already expansive game, focusing on the four Champions – Mipha, Daruk, Revali, and Urbosa. The expansion’s narrative unfolds after the events of the main game, offering players a deeper insight into the backstory of the Champions and their relationships with Princess Zelda. The Champions’ Ballad introduces a new series of quests, each centered around one of the four Champions, challenging players with new puzzles and combat scenarios. Additionally, players gain access to a new dungeon, the Divine Trial, culminating in a confrontation with an enhanced version of the game’s main antagonist, Calamity Ganon.

One of the notable features of The Champions’ Ballad is the addition of the Master Cycle Zero, a motorcycle-like vehicle that becomes available to Link after completing the expansion’s challenges. This unconventional mode of transportation grants players increased mobility across Hyrule’s vast landscape. To embark on the expansion’s quests, players must first complete the four Divine Beasts and free the corresponding regions from Calamity Ganon’s influence. The Champions’ Ballad received positive reviews for its ability to expand upon the lore of Breath of the Wild, providing additional depth to the characters and world. The DLC’s integration of challenging quests, the Master Cycle Zero, and the unveiling of new narrative elements contributed to the overall acclaim, enhancing the immersive experience of one of the most critically acclaimed titles on the Nintendo Switch.
