New Zelda DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![New Zelda DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/nieuwe-zelda-dlc-voor-mario-kart-8-deluxe.jpg "New Zelda DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/nieuwe-zelda-dlc-voor-mario-kart-8-deluxe.jpg)An update has been released for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This remake of the original Mario Kart 8 is therefore provided with free DLC. From now on, play as a Link in his Champion’s Tunic!

If you had said a few weeks ago that there would be (free) DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, everyone would claim you where crazy. However, this update is not entirely unexpected. Not so long ago, an employee from Nintendo said in an interview that he was not yet ready with Mario Kart 8.

The free DLC package contains, in addition to a new playable character, some other items. The Master Cycle Zero will also be playable from now on. We saw this engine for the first time as DLC at Zelda Breath of the Wild. In addition, special tires and a new glider have been released so that you can complete the entire set.

**Available?**

The free update is available for immediate download on the Nintendo Switch. When you start the software you will immediately receive a notification. If you prefer to update the game manually, navigate to the game in the start menu, click the “+” button on the right Joy-Con and start the update from there.
