The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild gets its first paid DLC pack on Friday, June 30 and we have the details on how all of the new items will help your quest. Even if the extra-tough new difficulty mode and Trials of the Sword challenge rooms haven't grabbed your attention, you'll definitely want to check out the useful (and in many cases familiar) goodies Link can find.
All of these items can be found in chests scattered across Hyrule once the update goes live, assuming you've purchased the Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass. Get hunting!
Majora's Mask
Original game: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Put this mask on and enemies like Bokoblins, Moblins, and Stalfos won't be hostile (at least initially). Don't expect it to work on bigger threats like Hynox or Lynels, though. It also glows in the dark and looks really creepy, just like when Skull Kid wore it back in the day. Hopefully it won't possess you.
Tingle's Outfit
Original game: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Well, this isn't going to help Tingle's reputation as a creeper. Don the hood, tights, and shirt of Tingle and you'll receive the "Night Speed Up" set bonus. I was kind of hoping it would make Octo Balloons last longer or have more lift instead, but oh well.
Midna's Helmet
Original game: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Equip Midna's Helmet and you'll receive the "Guardian Resist Up" buff, which should come in handy for those Test of Strength shrines - not to mention your final assault on Hyrule Castle. No, it doesn't come with a Wolf Link friend, you'll still need to tap an Amiibo for that.
Phantom Armor
Original game: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Sorry, this armor doesn't make you invulnerable from frontal attacks like in Phantom Hourglass. What it does do is give you an Attack Power set bonus. It also looks like it will have pretty good defense, since it's a frickin' giant suit of plate mail.
Korok Mask
Original game: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Haven't managed to find all 900 (yes seriously, there are 900) Koroks yet? Me neither. Equipping this mask will help us out: just slap this big ol' leaf on Link's face and it will start to shake whenever a Korok is hidden nearby. Yahaha.
Travel Medallion
New item
Once you find the Travel Medallion, you can use it to set your current location as a fast travel point. Only one custom point may be registered at a time but just imagine all the potential uses for it, from super-fast arrow resupply runs to revisiting distant areas that are rich in ore.

"I can't go through [with] this": The weirdest Zelda ad didn't get Nintendo's approval, but it probably happened anyway because the marketing execs were already on-site
A Zelda movie is finally happening, but Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto used to adamantly oppose the idea even "if Steven Spielberg himself" wanted to do it
