Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Official DLC Teases Majora's Mask Remake

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake has already proven to be a massive success, garnering incredible reviews from critics and fans alike, and almost assuredly amassing the impressive sales numbers Nintendo is expecting. Its faithful recreation of the original, coupled with the handful of innovations it brings to the table, has cemented it as a must-play Nintendo Switch 2 title and a worthwhile exclusive. Suffice it to say, Ocarina of Time’s remake is a worthwhile successor to the 1998 classic.

However, as great as Ocarina of Time’s remake proved to be, fans are already wondering whether its sequel, Majora’s Mask, will be getting the same treatment. It has always seemed extremely likely that Nintendo would remake Majora’s Mask, if only because of how connected the two titles are, but it is certainly far from a guarantee. Well, that was until recently, when a seemingly leaked piece of Ocarina of Time DLC appeared to confirm that a Majora’s Mask remake is, indeed, on its way.

It seems very likely that Ocarina of Time’s remake will be getting some form of DLC in the near future. Various datamines of the game have revealed that fans may finally be getting the Master Quest mode omitted from the base game. Additionally, as spotted by YouTuber Austin John Plays, there appears to be a mask mentioned in the datamined game files that does not appear in the game. It is this mask that seems to point towards a potential Majora’s Mask remake.

This isn’t the first clue pointing to a Majora’s Mask remake, but it is one of the most compelling. In Ocarina of Time’s remake’s files, there are various lines of dialogue said by certain NPCs whenever Link wears one of the available masks. All of the lines found in the files appear in-game, aside from one regarding mask 103. The dialogue associated with this mask has NPCs refer to it as “weird“, “distracting“, and making Link look like a “monster”. Indeed, the mask’s rarity, general creepiness, and association with monsters are brought up frequently.

This has led Austin John Plays and many others to speculate that the mask could be associated with a Skull Kid amiibo, one that would release alongside the Majora’s Mask remake in 2028. The amiibo would add Majora’s Mask to the game as a wearable mask and would consequently trigger the aforementioned leaked lines of dialogue. It’s a logical theory, one that seems fairly rooted in reality considering that remakes appear to be playing a key role in Nintendo’s release strategy for the Nintendo Switch 2.

A Majora’s Mask remake also feels like an inevitability at this point, both based on the enormous success of the Ocarina of Time remake and the fact that it is that game’s direct sequel. While not every remake necessitates a sequel, it would be a shame not to continue this story, especially as the original Majora’s Mask utilized a lot of assets from Ocarina of Time, a feat that could be easily replicated now, especially as Nintendo put a lot of effort into the various characters and locations that carry over between games.
