Summary
- A House DLC concept for Link's home in Tears of the Kingdom impresses the community, offering more customization and room options.

- Despite no plans from Nintendo for post-launch updates, fans hope for Master Mode and puzzle dungeon creation features in Tears of the Kingdom.
Many may already consider The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to be one of the best games ever made but that hasn't stopped the community from suggesting some excellent ideas for DLC. Despite the game proving successful among both fans and critics, Nintendo disappointed many fans when it confirmed that it saw the product as a finished entity and had no plans to further expand upon it with an expansion of post-launch updates. Given its scale, Tears of the Kingdom doesn't need an expansion but these concepts are too exciting to ignore.
Posted to Reddit by ICBPeng1, the player suggested an excellent idea for DLC that would allow Link to flesh out his house by increasing the buildable area of the property.
In doing so, the number of rooms available could be doubled as features like wallpaper and furniture could be added to offer more customization options for those who'd prefer to decorate rather than chase down Korok Seeds. In Tears of the Kingdom, the plot of land on which Link can build is restricted to 15 pieces, meaning players have to be careful which modules they want to install in their house.

The Triforce doesn’t play a large role in BOTW or TOTK, but a hidden detail shows that there could be an interesting reason for its absence.

Why Not Just Repair The Entire Kingdom?
The pitch for the smaller hamlets scattered around the map.
Out of all the modules available for Link's house, the most expensive are the Weapon, Bow, and Shield stand rooms: Each one costs 600 rupees.
Such an expansion seems like an excellent idea given that it wouldn't require significant amounts of set-up or narrative. It's less of an expansion and more of an extension of Tears of the Kingdom's most popular mechanic, allowing creatives the opportunity to explore the system in a more in-depth manner. While the amount of resources needed to create such a DLC is unknown, it does seem like a relatively simple solution to providing the community with more content.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's most obvious solution to DLC seems to be the building system, but others have requested the addition of features that proved to be extremely popular in Breath of the Wild. Fans are eager to create and share their own puzzle dungeons. One can only hope that Nintendo ultimately walks back its decision to not release any post-launch content for its monolithic open-world game.
