The second DLC expansion of the action-adventure video game "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is now available. "The Champions' Ballad" DLC brings new enemies, new shrines, a new weapon, and the Master Cycle Zero.

The final update on the expansion was released during the most recent Game Awards last Thursday. Nintendo released a new trailer showing the content of the DLC. The video starts with a new weapon called the One-Hit Obliterator.

The video also shows a never-before-seen dungeon and new shrines. Nintendo also brings a new quest line involving Kass the Bard and the unfinished song of his teacher. Other than the Obliterator, Link also gets new gears with the second expansion pack. Players can now clothe Link with the Phantom Ganon Armor, Royal Guard Uniform, Island Lobster shirt, and more.

The highlight of the trailer is the Master Cycle Zero. The Master Cycle Zero is a new motorcycle that Link can ride throughout his journey. The Zero takes on the form of a unicorn and is considered as Link's Divine Beast.

The video also features the four Champions -- Daruk, Mipha, Revali, and Urbosa. These champions are the chosen warriors by King Rhoam of Hyrule to pilot the divine beasts. According to the trailer, all four fell in battle 100 years ago.

Gamers who have the expansion pass can purchase the DLC for $20.

Fans of the game are not the only ones celebrating with the release of the new DLC. "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" won the "Game of the Year" award from The Game Awards 2017. The game also won awards for "Best Game Direction" and "Best Action/Adventure Game."

The game received perfect scores from video game critics including Trusted Reviews, GameSpot, and GamesRadar. IGN also gave the game a perfect score of 10 and describes it as one of the best open-world games today.
