Remember when Nintendo didn't charge for online? Nintendo doesn't really need loot boxes right now when they just found a brand new avenue to milk their fans. And with the Switch being quite successful right now the next shady shit they do is probably gonna take a while. Nintendo has a different business model. Instead of increasing revenue, they just decrease their costs while keeping their prices stable. The consumer still pays for it though, one way or another.

They may not be YET as shady as other companies but they could get there. They have already decided to do something they never did before with the beloved Zelda franchise. DLC's

So the prices are not stable, they are increasing, the full BOTW game now with the DLC's costs more than any Zelda game before ever did. And that's not even mentioning the fact they put the highest difficulty level for the game behind the paywall.

You say that as if they didn't ship a full game in the first place. We're talking about BOTW, not Density. DLC isn't required to get the full BOTW experience; it's simply extra, optional content. Just like how lootboxes in Overwatch don't have any affect on the main experience of that game (which is more than worth the price tag).

Blaming BOTW for using DLC just because other games (Density) have made a reputation of abusing DLC is wrong, just like it's wrong to persecute Overwatch for their mostly harmless implementation of lootboxes, just because others have seen fit to abuse the system now.
