Nintendo has done DLC many times in the past; Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Brothers, With Amiibo, etc. What was so ok with them but not ok with this?

It's simple, you said it yourself. Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros. Those games are all about offering a multiplayer experience with as much content and variety as possible. They are competitive games that are endlessly replayable. It makes sense for those to have DLC for extra stuff.

Amiibo, on the other hand, was never ok. It has been bullshit since forever, and Breath of the Wild is actually one of very few games that has added nice amiibo functionality that is not taking away content from the game itself.

But besides the fact that Zelda should never have DLC, it's the fact that they're announcing it before the game itself even releases, and is honestly looking very expensive considering there's only a little bit of interesting content and it's only coming by the end of the year (the other nice things like Cave of Trials and Hard Mode should just be in the game itself, or at least added as a free update).

This. Add in the fact that Mario Odyssey, SMB, Metroid and everything else will get the same treatment and it can't be resold, not to mention they've already got the Amiibo-DLC gimmick.

If it's worth £18, they can put it on a cartridge standalone for £25.
