Description This game will be released for Nintendo GameCube as a special pre-sell item for those Zelda fans who reserve their copy of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
Starting Feb. 16, 2003, when a customer places a deposit for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker at a participating retailer, they’ll receive a special, limited-edition playable disk featuring two games: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest -- an updated version of the game which was never released outside of Japan.
The Master Quest version of Ocarina of Time contains the same overall storyline as the original Ocarina of Time adventure. However, the dungeons have been upgraded to be truly challenging, even to a Zelda master.
Look for a detailed strategy guide to the Master Quest on zelda.com when the pre-sell program kicks-off in mid-Febrary 2003

Summary: What else can be said about this game? OOT singlehandedly redefined the adventure genre, and to give it as a supplement to another superb game was just about the smartest thing Nintendo could have done. The real kicker is that it not only includes OOT, it also packs in the Master Quest dungeons AND a few preview videos for upcoming Gamecube games.
Summary: During the seemingly enormous gap between Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker, we Zelda-loving fanatics had little to hold on to. Majora's Mask? Not even worthy of being a Zelda game. The Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons? Good in their own right, and OoA is definitely one of the better Zelda games out there, but they couldn't compare to OoT. We had to face the music: Ocarina of Time had raised the bar to heights as yet unseen by Hyrulean eyes, and Nintendo just hadn't made a repeat performance of the masterpiece that was Ocarina of Time.
Then, lo and behold, a small, unassuming article tucked away in a corner of one page of a gaming magazine. It told of the wonders and riches concealed overseas in Japan, namely the Ocarina of Time/OoT Master Quest offer for reserving the eagerly-awaited Wind Waker. My elation knew no bounds; that is, until I read that dreadful sentence: "At this time, there are no plans to release this two-game set on American shores."
But that was several months before the Stateside release of Wind Waker, and when it did arrive, it did offer the two OoT reincarnations. While one was just the original OoT that we all know and love (albeit with improved resolution), the other was a hybrid of the OoT we knew once, and new, "harder" challenges in the dungeons. While at first this seemed like it could be a godsend, OoT: Master Quest fell short of my expectations.
Summary: Well Zelda is finally coming out in March and since nintendo has some kind of a soul when reserving it you can The Ocarina of Time, and OOT Master Quest. They are great.. even though they are the same its still the best game around. Master Quest is kicking my butt, but I'll beat it! The only thing that would have been better was if you could get Majoras Mask too because I never played that. Oh ya you want to know the price...how stupid of me! FREE!!! ITS FREE!! $00.00
Summary: 1998's Blockbuster smash Ocarina of Time took myself and gamers around the world for a storm when it was released. Later after Shigeru Miyamoto created a second quest and released it in Japan. It's known over there as "Ura Zelda". Just recently the U.S. has been able to play this other version of OOT. Master Quest is the never before released outside of Japan version of OOT. I've played maybe 25 hours of it so far and it's brilliant as OOT was, except a lot harder. Dungeons have been tweaked greatly. Play this other version of Ocarina of Time!
Summary: Join Link on a mysterious quest guided by a strange ocarine, and aided by a cheerful fairy. After the legendary quest through a withering tree, a volcanic mountain flowing with molten lava, and a dead house crawling with monsters and evil spirits, Link ventures yet again into the vast land of Hyrule. In Link's N64 adventure, players take control of both an adult and a young hero. He is aided by an "insightful" fairy named Navi who tells Link EVERYTHING he needs to know. If this is your first time playing the game start with the original Ocarina of Time. The dungeons and puzzles are more finely polished than the Japan-exclusive Master Quest(Ura Zelda). Even if you played through this on the N64, you should take a look at it. The Master Quest should keep you busy until The Wind Waker makes its debut, and the preview videos are very inticing. Included are trailers for 1080:Avalanche, F-Zero, and a whole bunch of others. Not only is this game fun to play, but it's free. Even if you don't like the game (which I doubt) you can always use the shiny coaster to play frisbee!
