Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity built off the original Hyrule Warriors and Breath of the Wild to become a surprising hit. It is currently considered one of the best Legend of Zelda spinoff games, praised by both Zelda and Dynasty Warriors fans.

So popular is Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity in fact that it is getting even more content. With the advent of its first Expansion Pass, there will be even more content coming for the game. It's a somewhat pricey expansion, but it seems that for a limited time, players might be able to get it it scot-free... though it's a bit dubious.

There seems to be a curious exploit on the Nintendo eShop at the moment which allows players to download the Expansion Pass for free. According to accounts from Nintendo Life, downloading the free purchase bonus for the Expansion Pass (second option in the eShop) also nets the Expansion Pass itself. The purchase bonus is very small, just a costume and weapon, as opposed to the new fighters coming in Age of Calamity's DLC wave 1, along with other features. It is currently unknown how intentional this is or how long it will last, but as of this article, it is possible and available.

When Nintendo first announced the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity DLC, it did not come as a surprise. The world of Hyrule created in Breath of the Wild and expanded on in Age of Calamity is widely beloved by players. While players have traditionally been excited to see what the next Legend of Zelda brings in terms of a new world and new ways to interact with it, at the moment, all players want is more of the same. That's why Breath of the Wild's sequel and DLC for Age of Calamity were the logical choices for the next Zelda series forays.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity has shipped 3.7 million units so far, proving to be popular for its novelty, gameplay, and everything in between. Players are looking forward to the DLC, and they may be able to get it with this method. Keeping it, however, is uncertain, so prepare for some disappointment.

What exactly will be in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity's DLC is still a matter of some debate. While players are expecting new fighters and new battles in Age of Calamity, there may well be more or less than this. Until the content is 100% revealed, the hype will remain high, if somewhat tenuous.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is available now on Nintendo Switch.
