Summary
Many may already considerThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomto be one of the best games ever made butthat hasn’t stopped the community from suggesting some excellent ideas for DLC. Despite the game proving successful among both fans and critics, Nintendo disappointed many fans when it confirmed that it saw the product as a finished entity and had no plans to further expand upon it with an expansion of post-launch updates. Given its scale,Tears of the Kingdomdoesn’t need an expansion but these concepts are too exciting to ignore.
Posted to Reddit by userICBPeng1, the player suggestedan excellent idea for DLC that would allowLink to flesh out his house by increasing the buildable area of the property.
In doing so, the number of rooms available could be doubled as features likewallpaper and furniture could be added to offer more customization options for those who’d prefer to decoraterather than chase down Korok Seeds. InTears of the Kingdom, the plot of land on which Link can build is restricted to 15 pieces, meaning players have to be careful which modules they want to install in their house.

Why Not Just Repair The Entire Kingdom?
The pitch fora dedicated piece of house-building DLCmanaged to impress many members of the community, sparking some additional ideas on howTears of the Kingdomcould be improved with DLC. One of the most interesting concepts would bean expansion that tasked players with using Link’s building abilities to reconstruct parts of Hyrulethat have crumbled under Ganondorf’s influence. That could be undertaking a massive project like fixing Castle Hyrule or simply mending some ofthe smaller hamlets scattered around the map.
Out of all the modules available for Link’s house,the most expensive are the Weapon, Bow, and Shield stand rooms: Each one costs 600 rupees.
Such an expansion seems like an excellent idea given that it wouldn’t require significant amounts of set-up or narrative. It’s less of an expansion and more of an extension ofTears of the Kingdom’s most popular mechanic, allowing creatives the opportunity to explore the system in a more in-depth manner. While the amount of resources needed to create such a DLC is unknown, it does seem like a relatively simple solution to providing the community with more content.
TheLegend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s most obvious solution to DLC seems to be the building system, but others have requested the addition of features that proved to be extremely popular inBreath of the Wild.Fans are eager toplay through the game again on Master Modefor an additional challenge, while others still want the ability tocreate and share their own puzzle dungeons. One can only hope that Nintendo ultimately walks back its decision to not release any post-launch content for its monolithic open-world game.
