Nintendo Does Its Best To Explain The Reasoning Behind The DLC For 'Zelda: Breath Of The Wild'

With the news that Zelda: Breath of the Wild will feature DLC, it has been met with a very mixed response by fans. In a recent interview, Nintendo's Bill Trinen does his best to explain the reasoning behind this decision. The main takeaway from Trinen's explanation (starting at 41:42 in the below video) is that Breath of the Wild is obviously a very large game in terms of its content and production. The DLC in that sense is a byproduct of that, as the complexity of developing an open world game means there is more left to do. So this DLC release, in part, is Nintendo's attempt at including absolutely everything it can from Breath of the Wild's production. In all honesty, this is entirely understandable.
