Yeah, the DLCs as a whole ended up being a great set of content.

...But now that I think about it, I bet a lot of people got disappointed by DLC1, and then never even bothered to play DLC2. Like, I really wasn't that into DLC1, because I didn't enjoy the Sword trials much at all (just not my kind of thing, too long).

Plus I remember it being unclear on what was even in DLC2--I remember they said 16 new shrines and other stuff, but that doesn't sound that impressive since the main game's shrines aren't really that great for the most part.

20. Shrine Quest: The Perfect Drink



This is perhaps the silliest quest chain of the game, in both story and gameplay.

You find Pokki of Gerudo Town, passed out on top of a shrine's entrance button, from dehydration! The only thing that will restore her is...the Perfect Drink. So you go back to the Gerudo Town bar...but they're out of ice!

So you need to carry an oversized block of ice through some ruins covered in enemies....But the gameplay twist is, it melts really quickly, unless you keep it in the shadows. Luckily, the ruins have all sorts of shadows! But since the game has a fast day/night cycle, the shadows are constantly changing, so you better not put down the ice for too long while you fight.

This is a unique thing this game is really good at, where it comes up with some Joke of a ridiculous plot, to make you do a Legitimate Gameplay sequence, but with some sort of "floor is lava" style twist. I love this recipe!

Also, the ruins and shadows are just really cool looking! Great for a sneaking mission like this one. Beauty points for good use of ruins.
