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 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>

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]].

==Nomenclature==
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''===
===Other Names===
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.

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