In {{TLoZ}}, the second quest is unlocked after the player has beaten the game, and doing so would replace the file with a picture of Link holding a sword. This new quest consisted of the dungeons being located in different places with an added difficulty degree. The [[Heart Container]]s and some of the shops found in the overworld are also changed to better hidden locations. Gamers could also enter the first five letters of their name as "ZELDA" in the name input screen to start the second quest automatically. This quest was created because the programmers accidentally used only half of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System's]] memory and wanted to use the other half for something.<ref>{{Cite web|url= http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/iwata/iwata_asks_-_zelda_handheld_history_15603_15604.html#top| title= Iwata Asks-Zelda Handheld Games (Bonus 2)| site= Nintendo.co.uk}}</ref>

==Overview==
Similar to ''The Legend of Zelda'', the second quest can also be obtained after completing the game, and the file of the player would have a [[Triforce]] piece next to their name. The features included are that the player gets to keep all the [[Spells of The Adventure of Link|spells]] learned in the previous quest, and the levels for Skill, Magic, and Life are also carried over. Special items found in palaces such as the [[Candle]] had to be retrieved again, as well as any Heart Containers and [[Magic Jar|Magic Containers]] obtained.

{{Main|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest}}
The Second Quest in {{TAoL}} can be unlocked after completing the game. The file will now include a [[Triforce]] piece next to its name. During the Second Quest, Link gets to keep all the [[Spells of The Adventure of Link|Spells]] learned in the previous Quest, as well as his levels for Skill, Magic, and Life, making the game rather easier. Special items found in Palaces have to be retrieved again, as well as any Heart Containers and [[Magic Container]]s.

In {{OoT}}, the game's then-unprecedented depth led many players to suggest that a second quest would be far from impossible. Countless discussions, theories and hoaxes about the alleged second quest to obtain the [[Triforce]] within the game spread around the internet, although any such endeavor has since been conclusively disproved by Nintendo and skeptical fans. The hype was most likely fueled by the aforementioned sense of depth in the newly-developed ''Ocarina of Time'' environment, nostalgia and internet pranksters.


Eventually, ''Ura Zelda'' ("Another Zelda") was announced for the [[Nintendo 64DD]]. ''Ura Zelda'' would have been an expansion disk for use with the original ''Ocarina of Time'' &mdash; if a player were to use this disk, they could access new content (allegedly including new Masks, sidequests, and even characters){{verify}} and redesigned dungeons. Unfortunately, due to the commercial failure of the Nintendo 64DD, ''Ura Zelda'' was never released.

Years later, however, {{MQ}} was developed and released for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and given away in various promotions. ''Master Quest'' built on some of the ideas intended for ''Ura Zelda'' &mdash; the game features redesigned dungeons with an increased difficulty level, but the story remains the same as the original ''Ocarina of Time''.

In {{OoT3D}}, ''Master Quest'' is available after completing the normal game. In this slightly redesigned version, all of [[Hyrule]] is mirrored and Link takes double damage from enemy attacks and hazardous obstacles.

==Nomenclature==
{{Main|Linked Game}}
{{Nomenclature}}
In a manner of speaking the [[Oracle Series|''Oracle'' series]] actually has several Second Quests. The [[Linked Game|password-linking]] aspect of the files, allows one to continue a quest from one title to the next. Things maintained include: Link's given name, [[Bipin]] and [[Blossom]]'s [[Bipin and Blossom's son|son]]'s name and the [[Strange Flute]]. The File Screen will have a different icon. The icon changes yet again if the player uses a password to create a third quest file. This "Hero's Secret" allows one to play the first game again with an extra Heart and the [[Magic Ring#Victory Ring|Victory Ring]].

{{TWW}} also features a Second Quest, although more limited in change than its previous counterparts. The game's Second Quest makes primarily aesthetic changes — namely, [[Link]] will wear his initial outfit for the entire game (consequently obtaining the [[Hero's New Clothes]] as opposed to the [[Hero's Clothes]] in the First Quest), [[Aryll]] will wear her ending pirate outfit for the entire game, and all [[Hylian Language|Hylian text]] will be translated into a readable dialect. 


Link also starts with the [[Picto Box#Deluxe Picto Box|Deluxe Picto Box]], with the same pictures he had in the first quest, and enables the player to take photos of characters at the very start. Though it is very possible to obtain every photograph and every figurine in the first quest, the second quest tends to make obtaining all of the figurines a little easier.

There is, however, one important gameplay-related change; the locations of sunken treasure from [[Treasure Chart]]s will be different - usually further away from the island than they were in the first quest. This makes identifying the island from the chart somewhat more difficult, as much less of the island is visible on the chart, and many islands look alike when only a small part is visible.

The Second Quest,(TLoZ | TWW)[1][2] also known as Second Round,(ZG&W)[3] is a recurring mode in The Legend of Zelda series. The Second Quest goes unnamed in The Adventure of Link.

Overview

The Legend of Zelda

The Second Quest in The Legend of Zelda is unlocked after completing the game. Doing so replaces the file icon with Link holding a Sword. The Second Quest consists of Dungeons being located in different places with an added difficulty.[4] Heart Containers and some shops found in the overworld are also changed to different locations. The name "ZELDA" can be used in the name input screen to start the Second Quest automatically.[5]

The Adventure of Link

The Second Quest in The Adventure of Link can be unlocked after completing the game. The file will now include a Triforce piece next to its name. During the Second Quest, Link gets to keep all the Spells learned in the previous Quest, as well as his levels for Skill, Magic, and Life, making the game rather easier. Special items found in Palaces have to be retrieved again, as well as any Heart Containers and Magic Containers.

During the Second Quest, Link receives the invisible Hero's New Clothes from his Grandma instead of a green tunic, making him appear to wear his initial outfit for the entire game, while Aryll wears her pirate dress previously seen in the game's ending. Link also starts with the Deluxe Picto Box in his Inventory, and all the Figurines he collected in the first quest are carried over. All of the Hylian language spoken by Valoo, the Great Deku Tree, and Jabun is translated in the Second Quest, and the locations of sunken treasure found by Treasure Charts will be different; usually further away from the island than they were in the first quest.[verification needed]
