Players have speculated that Nintendo may be preparing for a remaster of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, based on changes to character accessories and the day-night cycle in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remaster. However, there is currently no evidence to prove that the project has been officially greenlit or entered development.
X user MightyGazelle1 discovered that the Happy Mask Salesman in the remaster wears a golden bracelet. This accessory was not present in the original The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but it did appear in the sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. This change could simply be a character design update, or it might be an intentional connection.
Another difference lies in the day-night cycle. In the original, time would stop, and non-player characters might disappear directly from the world; the remaster keeps time flowing continuously and schedules NPCs according to their own routines, a presentation more akin to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Since the two original games shared many assets, some speculate that this system might be used for future sequel remasters.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remaster launched on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5, 2026. Issues may arise when Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) is enabled. Changes to character accessories and systems are currently only based on player observations and speculation, and cannot be considered official evidence of a remaster of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
