Ocarina of Time remake datamine suggests Master Quest is on the way
Dataminers have discovered files in the new Ocarina of Time remake suggesting that a 'Master Quest' mode is planned for release. The mode appears to be tied to future DLC and features mirrored worlds and modified dungeons.
Why it matters
This reveals potential post-launch content strategies for Nintendo's latest hardware and software releases.
Dataminer MrCheeze shared a list of strings from the remake's files on Bluesky, several of which tie the tag "MQ" to dungeons like Dodongo's Cavern.
In a follow-up, as spotted by TheGamer , they pointed to further entries, including "HasMQ", "IsMQModeExist", "NewGameMQ", and "ReleaseMQ".
Fellow dataminer OatmealDome added on Twitter/X that the mode will be unlocked by owning DLC, rather than arriving in an update, though "the data is incomplete". "I can confirm that the world is mirrored and dungeons are modified (e.g. cows in Jabu-Jabu's Belly)," they said.
