A datamine of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake has uncovered several references that could point to Master Quest being prepared as downloadable content. Nintendo has not announced Master Quest DLC, however, and the files do not confirm that it will be released.
Nintendo Everything reported that dataminers MrCheeze and OatmealDome found multiple “MQ” references in the game files. The strings include HasMQ, IsMQModeExist, NewGameMQ, and ReleaseMQ.
What the Master Quest files suggest
Additional findings shared by OatmealDome indicate that the mode may have been designed to unlock when a player owns DLC, rather than arriving as part of a standard game update. The files also point to familiar Master Quest traits, including a mirrored world and altered dungeon content.
One reported example places cows inside Jabu-Jabu’s Belly, an unusual feature associated with the revised dungeon layouts. For a broader look at the remake, our breakdown covers what changed from the original game.
Master Quest DLC remains unconfirmed
The references could reflect a future release plan, unfinished functionality, or files left over from development. Their presence shows that Master Quest-related work exists inside the remake, but it does not establish what Nintendo intends to do with it.
Until Nintendo makes an announcement, Master Quest DLC should be treated as a possibility raised by the datamine rather than a confirmed addition.
Would you buy Master Quest as DLC for the Ocarina of Time remake?
