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

Stop being so defensive. I never said anything about other games being fine with announcing DLC prior to release. Hyrule Warriors had bullshit DLC from my point of view. FFXV also had if they announced a season pass before release.

Smash is a whole other thing. The only DLC announced prior to release was Mewtwo, who at the time they never confirmed to be paid DLC, rather only saying it was a bonus for people who bought both the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game - and it was for a character that fans were desperately hoping to see in the game, especially after the deceiving Greninja trailer. Fans asked for it, and they got it. Everyone was happy. It wasn't until well after the game's release that they confirmed proper DLC (which then again, was also crappy DLC because of the ludicrous price).

The only game I've ever seen do paid DLC completely right was Mario Kart 8.

I didn't mean to sound defensive. Just pointing out it has happened before. Whether it's right or wrong, it's up to the consumer. Like whether DLC is right or wrong to the consumer. Unfortunately, DLC has been a mixed bag since the concept was introduced back who knows when. Again, we'll see how it goes.
