[Ocarina of Time] #ootspoilers There is data in the game files for Master Quest. It will be unlocked by *owning DLC* - it is not just an update. The data is incomplete, but I can confirm that the world is mirrored and dungeons are modified (e.g. cows in Jabu-Jabu's Belly).

User OatmealDome on X analyzed the code and found several duplicate files named "MQ. The missions found mirror those of the original GameCube game, but already include new additions, such as "cows in Jabu-Jabu's Belly" . Despite the discovery, fans point out that the content seems incomplete, indicating that more new features should be implemented before the official release.
Nintendo has not yet officially commented on the DLC. When questioned by IGN , the series producer, Eiji Aonuma, dodged the question. "Whenever we release a game, if there's an opportunity for the developers to consider what might come in the future, we want to leave that possibility open for them and support their interests. But I don't think we would announce anything specific at this time," he stated.
