The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Master Trials – what you get
If you’re still playing through the game’s main story, you’ll notice a host of items have been added. And if you’re past that, there’s more of a reason to return with new challenges, a tougher difficulty mode with its own separate menu, and a lot more. Here’s what’s included:
- Trial of the Sword: this is a 45 room, wave-based combat challenge starting you off with no weapons or equipment. Make it to the end and “the true power of the Master Sword awakens”.
- Hero’s Path Mode: with this, you’ll see the route you’ve taken through the last 200 hours of play. It allows you to see areas that you may have not visited yet.
- Hard Mode: enemies will gradually regain health and are all one power level higher than usual with higher maximum levels. This makes combat all the more of a challenge than it already is.
- Travel Medallion: slotting this item allows Link to pin a location on the game map and fast travel.
- New Equipment: new gear based on classic Zelda games such as Phantom Hourglass, Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess will be added. These include the titular Majora’s Mask, a full set of Phantom Knight armour, and Midna’s helmet to name a few.
