The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Master Quest

Game Overview
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Master Quest was released by Nintendo in 2003 for the Nintendo 64. It arrived late in the console's life, offering a fresh take on a familiar adventure for players who had already explored Hyrule in the original game.

You control Link, a young hero tasked with preventing the rise of the evil Ganondorf. Your main goal is to travel through time, awaken sages, and ultimately secure the Triforce. The game retains core mechanics like screen by screen exploration, sword and shield combat, and intricate dungeon navigation, but it remixes every dungeon with new enemy placements, mirrored layouts, and more complex puzzles. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty is noticeably higher, especially in temples like the Water Temple. Playing it feels like rediscovering a world you thought you knew, only to find it full of new challenges and surprises.
