A second quest involves rearranging dungeons to provide tougher puzzles and enemies. Tougher enemies can appear earlier in the game or more numerous than before.

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.

Gamers could also enter the first five letters of their name as "ZELDA" in the name input screen to start the second quest automatically.

In {{OoT3D}}, after completing the normal game, the Master Quest is unlocked. It contains the same content as the separate game {{MQ}} for the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. It is an alternate version of {{OoT}} designed to be more difficult with tougher dungeons, enemies, and puzzles. Different to the GameCube version, the entirety of [[Hyrule]] is mirrored and Link takes twice as much damage.
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.

The second quest in {{TAoL}} can be obtained 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. Special items found in palaces such as the [[Candle]] have to be retrieved again, as well as any Heart Containers and [[Magic Jar|Magic Containers]].
A Second Quest appears in {{TWW}} (but not {{TWWHD}}, which features [[Hero Mode]] instead). This 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.
 
 
In the {{OoX}}, the [[Linked Game|password-linking]] aspect of the files allows Link to continue a quest from one title to the next. Things carried over include Link's given name, [[Bipin and Blossom's Son]]'s name, and the [[Strange Flute]]. The file screen will have a different icon as well. The icon changes yet again if Link uses a password to create a third quest file. This Hero's Secret allows Link play the first game again with an extra Heart and the [[Victory Ring]].

===''The Wind Waker''===
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.

In {{TWW}}, the second quest makes primarily aesthetic changes.

Though it is very possible to obtain every Pictograph and every [[Figurines in The Wind Waker|Figurine]] in the first quest, the second quest makes obtaining all of the Figurines easier. Also, the location of sunken treasure from [[Treasure Chart]]s will be different, usually further away from the island than they were in the first quest.

In {{OoT3D}}, after completing the normal game the player can play the {{MQ}}. The player has three save files for each of the two modes (six between the two modes).

Hero Mode is featured in many of the most recent ''Zelda'' games, including {{SS}}, {{TWWHD}}, {{ALBW}}, {{HW}}, and {{TPHD}}.

Other minor gameplay or cosmetic changes may also occur. In all games it appears in, with the exception of ''The Wind Waker HD'', it cannot be accessed until after the game is completed.

The Legend of Zelda second quest file

This new quest consists of dungeons being located in different places with an added difficulty degree. 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. This quest was created due to the programmers using only half of the space allocated for map data, so it was decided to use the other half as another quest.[1]

Ocarina of Time 3D

In Ocarina of Time 3D, after completing the normal game, the Master Quest is unlocked. It contains the same content as the separate game Master Quest for the GameCube. It is an alternate version of Ocarina of Time designed to be more difficult with tougher dungeons, enemies, and puzzles. Different to the GameCube version, the entirety of Hyrule is mirrored and Link takes twice as much damage.

The icon changes yet again if Link uses a password to create a third quest file. This Hero's Secret allows Link play the first game again with an extra Heart and the Victory Ring.

In The Wind Waker, the second quest makes primarily aesthetic changes. These include Link wearing his initial outfit for the entire game, Aryll wearing her ending pirate outfit from the start of the game, and all spoken Hylian text will be translated.
