Breath of the Wild is done, both DLC Packs have been released and Nintendo EAD3 probably moved on to the next project(s). But at this point it's still possible that they might release a final update for the game, maybe even to celebrate its one year anniversary at March 3rd and to thank the players for the overwhelming support.
This blog already featured a free DLC proposal back in July 2017, called The Traveler's Gear. This one will be similar, but with the latest developments around the game in mind, based on the update suggestions from end of December 2017. Some ideas from the previous proposal even have been implemented in the meantime by Nintendo, like the Ancient Bridle and Saddle or the ability to re-purchase DLC armor from Granté's collection.
Similar to update 1.3.3, where they promoted Xenoblade Chronicles 2, this will add a new set of armor to the game for free: the King's Clothes. It will include the King's Robe, the King's Trousers and the Crown of Hyrule as seen on King Rhoam:
This will literally make Link the king and he certainly would deserve it. It doesn't necessarily need any new features or abilities, so it's mainly for the looks.
It's also possible that we will see additional Zelda amiibo in 2018, where this update would support them as well, maybe with even more armor pieces.
But that's not all. The update would come with a couple of new features in addition:
As usual the update will also provide "various fixes to improve gameplay". This includes fixing all the unobtainable chests. It also solves the issue, where you can miss the Thunder Helm on a full inventory. Players, who previously missed the Thunder Helm, are now able to get it back from Riju.
You will also now be able to buy the new Hyrule Compendium pictures introduced in DLC Pack 2, "The Champions' Ballad", from Symin, if you haven't gotten them yet, even if you previously completed Hyrule Compendium and received the Classified Envelope. Certain items and enemies were also added to a few locations to prevent various omissions in the Compendium. This mostly covers lower tier versions of the Lynels and all their gear. The Kite Shield is now obtainable from Revali's amiibo.

But that's not all. The update would come with a couple of new features in addition:
- Expand your inventory even further by buying additional pages of armor and food from Hestu. Going for all expansions will use up the remaining 459 Korok Seeds.
- Manual inventory sorting will let you move around your weapon, shield, bow, armor, food and even key items by pressing the left analog stick. The game will remember your placements as a custom sorting option, which you can switch via the Y button.
- Updates to various armor items will let you dye and/or enhance armor that you couldn't before. This mostly affects items from the DLC or Kilton's shop, but also some of the amiibo gear. Additionally, jewelry and Sheik's Mask will now provide a set bonus, if they match the right gear.
- The Climbing Set has a now a secret bonus, which allows you to climb during rain without slipping.
- A shortcut for equipping a full set of armor has been added.
- Regional map information is now provided. If you hover over one of the towers, it will display the outlines of the corresponding region. Icons displayed next to the tower names will indicate that you've solved all Shrines, found all Koroks or defeated all overworld bosses within the region. Once you've beaten the game, counters for Shrines, Koroks and bosses are added.
- You can now reset the Hero's Path Mode via a new option.
