During the E3 2017 last month, Nintendo revealed the name of the second DLC pack coming for Zelda Breath Of The Wild later this year. Not much else has been revealed about it, other than The Champions' Ballad name, but today more emerged on it thanks to a panel held during Japan Expo 2017.
During the panel, Eiji Aonuma confirmed that Link will still be the main playable character in the DLC expansion, but players will still see more of Zelda and the Champions and learn more about them as well. A short gameplay video has also been released, and you can check it out below.
