## Key points

- Game files hint at Master Quest returning.
- A dataminer says it may require DLC.
- Nintendo has not announced the mode.

## Summary

Files in the new Ocarina of Time remake suggest that the tougher Master Quest mode may return, potentially as downloadable content. The clues have been found by dataminers, and Nintendo has not confirmed any DLC, so the mode’s release is not certain.

Strings in the game files include references to “MQ” and a possible “NewGameMQ” mode. A dataminer says access would require owning DLC, and reports that the world is mirrored and dungeons altered, including cows in Jabu-Jabu’s Belly; the data is incomplete. Master Quest previously featured rearranged dungeons and harder puzzles, with the 3DS version also doubling enemy damage.
