Ocarina of Time remake files suggest Master Quest could be DLC

Dataminers have found files in the Ocarina of Time remake that suggest Master Quest may be released as downloadable content rather than a standard update. On November 7, dataminer OatmealDome reported that the game contains data for the remixed difficulty mode but that it will be unlocked by owning DLC. While the data is incomplete, it appears to include a mirrored world and modified dungeons, such as cows appearing inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly.

The Switch 2 remake launched on November 5 for $59.99 on the Nintendo eShop. Nintendo has not announced Master Quest or any accompanying add-ons for the game. Previous versions, such as the 3DS remake, included Master Quest as part of the base game. It is not clear if the files indicate a paid add-on or a free DLC item that still requires an ownership check.

The files also contain hints regarding potential content related to Majora's Mask. YouTuber Austin John Plays identified dialogue for an unrevealed mask, labeled as Mask 103, which NPCs describe as "otherworldly" and "suspicious." This follows the identification of Mask 101 and Mask 102, which are tied to Link and Zelda amiibo expected to release in 2027. Other players noticed dialogue from the Happy Mask Salesman and Skull Kid that some suggest may point toward a future Majora's Mask remake, though no such project has been confirmed.
