Another interesting piece of information that Aonuma discussed was the idea of online functionality. He commended that online play may not come in the form of multi-player or co-op, but instead through "the idea of communications between players."

DLC doesn't always cost money. Nintendo seems like the kind of business that would see the value in giving away free tidbits to increase a game's value, especially since they don't want to lower the prices of games after launch. Instead of the price dropping, the value goes up until it's high enough to entice new buyers. It's a nice theory, anyway.
But yeah, I ain't payin' $2 for Epona armor.
