The best thing that the Master Trials DLC did was entice us back into the world that we’d fallen in love with, featuring new challenges and old memories.
The release of the Master Trials DLC gave us the perfect reason to delve back into the deepest caverns and climb the tallest cliffs of Hyrule, presenting gamers with a handful of new side quests to obtain heroic memorabilia from the series’ days of yore, the challenging Master Trials themselves, and perhaps most excitingly, a new hard mode with an entirely separate save slot.

"Aptly named ‘the Master Trials’, this first piece of a two part season pass introduces plenty of new challenges to sink our teeth into, whilst also bundling in some snazzy new costumes and helpful quality of life improvements. The following content drop, releasing later this year, is to be a more traditional, story based offering, but to get your hands on either you’ll have to grab the pass, which is going to be a frustrating expenditure for players who don’t care about increased challenge and simply want some more core content. Still, it’s a modestly priced season pass by contemporary standards and really, if you love BOTW you likely fell in love with its gleefully challenging gameplay, so I can’t see it alienating too many players. The ‘Trials’ portion of the DLC is probably where most players are going to get their moneys worth here: it’s a gauntlet of 45 arena battles that get significantly harder as you progress."
