According to the upcoming game’s website listing, players can earn what the company calls Nintendo Points when pre-orderingTears of the Kingdom. Interestingly, it states that these Nintendo Points can be used to “buy more games and DLC.” At the bottom of the site page, it further mentions “full version of game required to use DLC. Sold separately.” Nintendo itself is yet to officially confirm any DLC for the upcoming title, but it may not be surprising considering the same text was seen on the store page back whenBreath of the Wildannounced multiple expansions.
