'''Second Quest''' refers to a mode in several games within the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]] which allow the player to go through the game again utilizing new features.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', 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>

A '''Second Quest''' is a recurring mode in {{LZS|Series}} which allows [[Link]] to go through the game again utilizing new features. These include increased difficulty and rearranged enemies, locations, and items.
   
  +
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. Things in the overworld may also be moved to different locations, such as [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]], [[shop]]s, or even the dungeons themselves.
==''The Adventure of Link''==
 
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.

The second quest in {{TLoZ}} is unlocked after Link has beaten the game. Doing so will replace the file icon with Link holding a [[Sword]]. This new quest consists of dungeons being located in different places with an added difficulty degree. [[Heart Container]]s 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.<ref>{{Cite web|retrieved=October 30, 2014|url=http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/zelda/1/5|title=Volume 2: The History of Handheld The Legend of Zelda Games|site=Nintendo}}</ref>
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', 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.
 
   
  +
===''Ocarina of Time 3D''===
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 and redesigned dungeons. Unfortunately, due to the commercial failure of the Nintendo 64DD, ''Ura Zelda'' was never released.
 
  +
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.
   
  +
==New Game Plus==
Years later, however, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest|Master Quest]]'' was developed and released for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and given away in various promotions. ''Master Quest'' built on 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''.
 
  +
This type of second quest often lets Link access certain features earlier in the game than usual, sometimes by letting him carry over items from the previous playthrough. Minor gameplay or cosmetic changes are sometimes made as well.
   
 
===''The Adventure of Link''===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D|Ocarina of Time 3D]]'', ''Master Quest'' is available after completing the normal game. In this version, all of [[Hyrule]] is mirrored and Link takes double damage from enemy attacks and hazardous obstacles.
 
 
==''Oracle'' Series==
 
{{Main|Linked Game}}
 
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: your name, Bipin & Bossom's child's name and [[Strange Flute]] pet. 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 Victory Ring.

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]].
''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' 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 [[Tunic#Hero's Clothes|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.
 
   
 
===''Oracle'' Series===
Link also starts with the [[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. 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 Language|Hylian text]] will be translated. Link also starts with the [[Deluxe Picto Box]] with the same [[Pictograph]]s he had in the first quest. This enables him to take color Pictographs from the very start. 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. This makes identifying the island from the chart somewhat more difficult, as much less of the island is visible on the chart.

A Second Quest is a recurring mode in Template:LZS which allows Link to go through the game again utilizing new features. These include increased difficulty and rearranged enemies, locations, and items.

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. Things in the overworld may also be moved to different locations, such as Pieces of Heart, shops, or even the dungeons themselves.

Second Quest

The Legend of Zelda

File:TLoZ Second Quest Select.jpg

The Legend of Zelda second quest file

The second quest in The Legend of Zelda is unlocked after Link has beaten the game. Doing so will replace the file icon with Link holding a Sword. 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.

New Game Plus

This type of second quest often lets Link access certain features earlier in the game than usual, sometimes by letting him carry over items from the previous playthrough. Minor gameplay or cosmetic changes are sometimes made as well.

The Adventure of Link

File:Link Outset Clothes
Link during The Wind Waker second quest

The second quest in The Adventure of Link 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 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 Containers.

Oracle Series

In the Template:OoX, the 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

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. Link also starts with the Deluxe Picto Box with the same Pictographs he had in the first quest. This enables him to take color Pictographs from the very start. Though it is very possible to obtain every Pictograph and every Figurine in the first quest, the second quest makes obtaining all of the Figurines easier. Also, the location of sunken treasure from Treasure Charts 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.

Hero Mode

Main article: Hero Mode

Hero Mode is featured in many of the most recent Zelda games, including Skyward Sword, The Wind Waker HD, A Link Between Worlds, Hyrule Warriors, and Twilight Princess HD. Hero Mode makes the game more difficult by increasing damage dealt by enemies or by removing recovery Hearts entirely. Other minor gameplay or cosmetic changes may also occur. Hero Mode is usually unlocked after completing the game, however, HD versions of previous games include the mode from the start.

Other Appearances
