For anyone unfamiliar with it, Master Quest is an alternate, more challenging version of Ocarina of Time. The story and Hyrule remain the same, but the dungeons are reworked with different puzzles, enemy placements, and item locations. Nintendo described the 3DS version as having dungeons and puzzles that differ from the main game, with a higher level of challenge.
The Dinolfos encounter is especially interesting because it is specific to the Master Quest version of the Spirit Temple. Its appearance in the remake could mean Nintendo has included Master Quest content, or it may have moved the enemy into the standard dungeon as part of its changes. One screenshot can’t tell us which is the case.
Nintendo has not announced Master Quest for the Switch 2 remake. The footage is a promising clue, though, and fans who played the 3DS version will recognize the connection. If the remake does include the alternate dungeon layouts, the Dinolfos may be our first glimpse of a second quest.
