Nintendo has announced that a free content update has come to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe adding a new version of Link from Breath of the Wild and his badass motorcycle from the Championโ€™s Ballad DLC.

The update is available now and introduces Championโ€™s Tunic Link, along with the Master Cycle Zero and its Ancient Tires and Paraglider parts.

This comes hot on the heels of Nintendoโ€™s Head of Software Development Shinya Takahashi making a statement on Twitter that the game would see further updates. Plural, so thereโ€™s sure to be more in the works for the Switchโ€™s second-best selling title. Perhaps Star Fox? F-Zero? Wii Fit Trainer?

Thatโ€™s really all there is to report on the subject, but Nintendo has also just announced a series of Mario Kart-themed Hot Wheels at SDCC, which is cool. Nintendoโ€™s also working on bringing the franchise to mobile, and Zelda fans have put together a real Breath of the Wild cookbook.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Breath of the Wild are both currently available for Nintendo Switch.
