Play Zelda BOTW with All DLC for FREE without CFW

It's confirmed. It works!

This guide uses the FREE DLC "Language pack" to do the trick. You need download it on eshop.

In this tutorial I'll show you how to play Zelda BOTW with all DLCs unlocked without start a CFW or something for this. It should work with others games with multiple DLC like MK8, Wii Sports Club, Super Smash Bros, Hyrule Warriors and others. Of course you need a legit DLC from game you want to play.

For Super Smash Bros detail follow this link:

For MK8 detail follow this link:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-play-mario-kart-8-with-all-dlc-for-free-without-cfw.464407/#post-7173356

What you need:
  • Zelda BOTW "Language Pack" downloaded from eshop. You need the latest update and download it from game options (needs a legit DLC)
  • Mocha CFW, Haxchi CFW, or any other (just in the beginning)
  • WiiU App Store (or Tik2SD + FTPiiU_Everywhere + WUP Installer GX2 +
    Mocha CFW + Homebrew Launcher    )
  • WiiU USB Helper
  • SD Card
  • PC
  • Hex Editor (HxD for Windows)
1 - First if you have any illegitimate Zelda BOTW DLC installed, just delete it using using Data manager on WiiU Config
2 - Download the DLC on eshop
3 - Make sure your SD card is formatted in FAT32
4 - Download the DLC of Zelda BOTW of your region with WiiU USB Helper and put it in your SD card in na folder called "install" in the root.
5 - Go to Homebrew Launcher and choose App Store or go to wiiubru.com/go on you browser and choose App Store. If you don't know what's Homebrew Launcher is give a look in this guide (parts I, II and III) and choose start App Store.
6 - In App Store Download Tik2SD + FTPiiU_Everywhere + WUP Installer GX2 + Mocha CFW + Homebrew Launcher
7 - Launch Homebrew Launcher and go to Mocha_CFW (use default options). Then go to WUP Installer GX2 and choose install the DLC of Zelda BOTW you just download wherever is your game (nand or USB).
8 - Back to Homebrew Launcher, go to Tik2SD and backup your tickets. Put your SD in PC and look at tik2sd folder. Open keys.txt and search where your Zelda BOTW DLC is installed. The name you need to search is 0005000c101c9400 or 0005000c101c9500 or 0005000c101c9300.
9 - Now it's time for hex editing.
Use the link from www.marcrobledo.com/wiiu-tik-fixer/ (thanks @marc_max )
open the folder and in tik2sd wich the ticket from you game is , than drop on the site above, you gonna see 2 tickets, click in fix, and download the file , than go to step 10.
If you want to do manually, then thanks to @Rahzadan we have a VERY detailed tutorial for it. Go to this thread and after the hex editing go to step 10 below.
If you followed the @Rahzadan tutorial or used the @marc_max website above, go to step 10. I'll keep this part only for log
purpose.
Locate your ticket in your SD card according with keys.txt. Open with an hex editor (in my case it's on 0009 folder and the name is 00000015.tik. Backup the ticket.

Look that you gonna have 2x finds in the key.txt file. In my case 0009/00000015.tik@0x6a0 and 0009/00000015.tik@0x0. The number after the "@" shows where the ticket starts inside the tik file. It means probably the fake ticket is in beginning of tik (0x0) file and my legit ticket starts in 0x6a0 (note is in hexadecimal).

The fake ticket is like this, a lot of same numbers:

2MSoJA9.png


In this case it shows SSB ticket, but for Zelda BOTW ticket is the same thing, just another Game ID.

Pay attention in the blue highlight. It shows the game ID. If it says a number other than 0005000c101c9400 or 0005000c101c9500 or 0005000c101c9300 it means the ticket is from another game!

The trick here is swap the fake ticket with the legit ticket, that way the legit ticket always come first in the tik file! This picture can demonstrate what I mean:

In this case it shows SSB ticket, but for Zelda BOTW ticket is the same thing.

Maybe there's another game ticket inside the tik file, maybe not. Anyway, just copy and past with your hex editor the fake ticket with the legit ticket. Pay attention and don't touch other game tickets in the tik file!

If your legit ticket comes first you don't need swap the tickets! You already can play with all DLC unlocked! I believe it can happens if you download the free DLC after install the fake DLC.

After the swap save your ticket in your PC.
10 - Now put your SD back in WiiU. Open Homebrew Launcher and launch FTPiiU_everywhere (make sure you had launch Mocha CFW or other CFW before that)
11 - Go to your Zelda BOTW ticket location inside WiiU memory using a FTP browser like FileZilla or even Windows Explorer with the IP of your WiiU. Its in "storage_slc/rights/ticket/apps/xxxx/xxx.tik". Replace that ticket with the one you just modified.
12 - Open your Zelda BOTW game and enjoy play with all contents without CFW!

TL;DR: Download the free DLC, install all DLC packet with a fake ticket, locate your ticket inside WiiU, swap the legit ticket with the fake ticket inside the tik file so that the legit ticket appears first.

Thank to @nexusmtz and @Madridi

The "Season Pass" is only one DLC that allow you to download two contents, so I think that with this you can download directly from Home Menu the first and the second DLC.

Not sure if even doing that is required for BOTW. I had the game installed with the dlc and had to load it using mocha. Yesterday I installed the language pack and the game now loads without having to use Mocha and it is still showing I have the DLC.

I think it's because the legit ticket appears first 8n the tik file, because you installed the legit DLC after install the fake DLC. Can you please give a look in your tik file?

Yes sure thing will do it in a few hours when I'm back home. When I went to download the language pack from the eshop I got a strange message that said you already have the language pack downloaded (which obviously I did not lol) do you want to redownload it so I clicked yes and as I said it now loads without the need for mocha and the dlc is still there.

Wow very strange. I bought the DLC so I cannot test it. Maybe this tutorial is only useful for people who installed the "fake" DLC after the legit one.
II can wait you're back to home thanks!

Please delete the keys of your post (f098...). It's not allowed here.

I believe your both Zelda tickets are in 0007/0000001e.tik@0x0 . Please hex edit this tik file swapping the tickets like in the tutorial . You are in the right way!

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
