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).

Smash Bros. announced DLC prior to release and Hyrule Warriors announced preorder bonuses prior to release.

And we also got games like FFXV that also mentioned a season pass (not sure about prior to release though).

We'll see how this all goes out. I mean they recently showed that BoTW has gone gold so they probably decided on DLC a little later on but haven't developed it yet.

While I'm sure some are upset hard mode is not coming till later, this games seems to not be a cake walk in it's standard form anyway. You're already seeing Link getting almost insta-killed by Guardians
