The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is out November 5 in the U.S. and already live for millions of Switch 2 owners in New Zealand and other parts of the world. The good news is that the early reviews have been absolutely glowing for Nintendo’s latest exclusive. The bad news is that they’ve also confirmed there’s no much-requested Master Quest mode.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest was a reworked version of the N64 game that made it much harder. It was released for the GameCube in 2003 in limited quantities around the launch of Wind Waker. Extremely rare but extremely rewarding for hardcore Ocarina of Time fans who knew the original game like the back of their hands, it functioned as a callback to the more difficult Second Quest for the first Zelda on NES. It was part of the Ocarina of Time remaster on 3DS, too.
As a result, many were hoping Nintendo would include some version of Master Quest mode in the Ocarina of Time remake on Switch 2. According to those who have already finished the game, however, there’s no such option here. “It honestly bums me out that the remake doesn’t include a sort of Hero Mode, or even better, the Master Quest variant for veteran Heroes of Time to make us sweat a little too,” Scott White and Alex Donaldson wrote for RPGSite.
