“Champion’s Ballad” has a new story, new dungeons, and yes,the Master Cycle. It has players look back at the events that occurred before the game’s main storyline and should be a great way to learn more about the legendary Champions we know and love.
There’s also a new weapon titled the “One-Hit Obliterator” that looks like an alternate universe cattle prod. Get ‘em, Link!
At the 2017 Game Awards, director Eiji Aonuma stated, "True to his title as a Champion, Link saves Hyrule from its crisis. However, while the other Champions who fought alongside him all had their own powerful divine beasts to support them, Link did not. What you all just saw at the end of the trailer is a reliable partner for Link. Something you could consider to be his own divine beast. The Master Cycle Zero."
The Master Cycle Zero becomes accessible to Link after completing the never-before-seen dungeon, exploring new shrines and defeating enemies with his fancy cattle prod. There’s also new pieces of clothing, including:
Island Lobster Shirt
Ravio’s Hood
Zant’s Helmet
Phantom Ganon Armor
Royal Guard Uniform
These pieces of clothing can be found in nine new treasure chests across Hyrule.
There’s also an Ancient Bridle and Saddle, also located in hidden treasure chests. The Bridle increases the number speed boosts a horse can get from spurs, while the Ancient Saddle makes it so a horse can be hailed from a greater distance.
Important note: in order to play the Champion’s Ballad DLC pack, you must have freed all Divine Beasts.
