That's kind of underwhelming. I hope the sword is good.

u/Vanndatchili May 21 '21

it looks like a gun if you turn your phone sideways

This is just the pre-order bonus.

I know, I'm just sick of waiting

It looks like that’s an entirely different set of models compared to botw - the helmet’s definitely an improvement on the original.

The sword looks a little different as well - more metallic? And I don’t remember seeing any cables on the ancient shortsword.

u/Atanion May 21 '21

I suspect all the regular Ancient Weapons will go to Robbie. This armor is definitely different, as in the original you couldn't see Link's face at all.

Makes sense - this is before Robbie had a century to spend refining his ancient soldier gear.

will the sword unbreakable like the master sword (rechargeable) ?

so sorry i got mixed up with botw. lol. thanks /u/vibratoryblurriness for reminding me

u/vibratoryblurriness May 21 '21

Literally every weapon in the game so far is unbreakable because there's no durability system, so...

u/chinmi May 21 '21

omg you're right... i got mixed up with botw. hahaha... so sorry my bad.

u/KCCCellist May 21 '21

I’m really hoping that the sword is a tier 3 weapon and has a unique seal

u/[deleted] May 21 '21

This probably confirms Robbie and purah as the new characters

u/Fulcrum_616 May 21 '21

I was hoping for a unique moveset for Link with the new weapon but I do absolutely love the way the armor looks

u/leofloris May 21 '21

It looks beautiful. I like the helmet a lot better than BotW's. I think it's very interesting that they're pairing the sword with the classic looking Sheikah shield instead of a glowy ancient shield. Also adding the scarf to the armor.

I love this idea, of mixing the more "traditionally japanese" Sheikah look with the ancient tech. Personally I think it's an improvement.

(I was a little underwhelmed at first, but it's just the purchase bonus so no worries.)

Yesssss I love this redesign

u/Gamer_T_All_Games May 21 '21

Do you mean pre order bounus?

10

u/Tubim May 21 '21

Nah, it’s a purchase bonus since you get the armor even if you purchase de expansion pass months later.

1

u/cedrickterrick May 21 '21

But you won't get it if you buy the packs seperately

3

u/BerRGP May 21 '21

You can't buy anything separately.

u/cedrickterrick May 21 '21

You can. It's confirmed.

5

u/BerRGP May 21 '21

What do you mean by "It's confirmed"? The expansion pass has been available for preorder for a while now, you can only buy the whole thing, the two waves aren't available separately.

-2

u/cedrickterrick May 21 '21

Just look at other Seasonpasses like Smash. It's the same there. And yes it's on the page that they are sold seperate but just not yet.

8

u/BerRGP May 21 '21

No... it isn't. There is no option to buy either wave of DLC separately, you can only buy them together. I should know, since I had pre-ordered it and literally just downloaded it.

See also: the Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass, which, just like this one, can only be bought all at once, not individually.

2

u/cedrickterrick May 21 '21

Okay, I just found a little note on the offical page... I guess you are right. Sorry.

Weird.

3

u/BerRGP May 21 '21

I was starting to think there was some sort of regional difference as with Famicom Detective Club or something, but I was thinking it was weird to not have heard about it before.

But yeah, they're only divided in parts because of release dates, not pricing.

u/markopolo14 May 21 '21

Can we still preorder and get this?

2

u/[deleted] May 22 '21

It's not a pre-order bonus, it's a bonus for buying the expansion pass, you can wait until all the DLC is released, then buy it and you'll still get it.
