The Majora's Mask Remake is ALREADY DONE and I HAVE PROOF!
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 2:14Custom NFC tags unlock the Fairy-Kid Mask and Princess Mask associated with Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo.
- 3:15Austin John Plays examines unique character dialogue written for the masks.
- 8:28A third dialogue category, "Mask_103," describes a mysterious, scary or otherworldly mask.
- 14:38His theory proposes a Master Quest update followed by a Majora's Mask remake, rather than reporting an announced schedule.
- 15:31He suggests a future Skull Kid amiibo could unlock the unused mask in Ocarina of Time.
- 16:19An official Skull Kid figure from the 3DS era illustrates his idea for a potential amiibo.
Austin John Plays goes looking for amiibo rewards in Ocarina of Time and finds a stranger puzzle: dialogue for a mask he can't put on.
The entry is labeled "Mask_103." Characters have reactions written for it, describing something scary or otherworldly, even though the mask isn't available in the game. For Austin John Plays, that hidden wardrobe item points toward Majora's Mask, a potential Skull Kid amiibo and, ultimately, another Zelda remake.
It's a substantial leap, and the video makes it enthusiastically. Despite the certainty of its title, "The Majora's Mask Remake is ALREADY DONE and I HAVE PROOF!", the finished-remake claim is his theory, not an announcement from Nintendo.
The investigation begins with something he can demonstrate. Using custom NFC tags for the unreleased Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo, he unlocks the Fairy-Kid Mask and Princess Mask. Then he digs into the character dialogue associated with those rewards and discovers the extra category. By the time he presents his theory, the question has shifted from what these figures unlock to why the game contains reactions to another mask entirely.
The video drew roughly 410,000 views in its first day, more than six times his usual start. It interrupts a run of meticulous Ocarina walkthroughs covering temple routes, hidden collectibles and the Biggoron Sword trading quest.
Viewers are extending the investigation, too. Several point to dialogue about monsters ignoring the wearer, connecting it with Majora's Mask's effect in Breath of the Wild. Others imagine Termina in this remake's art style. Austin John Plays finishes by bringing out an official Skull Kid figure from the 3DS era: a tangible prop for his proposed amiibo, though not evidence that one is coming.

What viewers say
Termina in this art style is going to be insane
@meagandawnmarieSee it on YouTubeIt’s actually really cool to see you figure it out in real time
@scottwalker1280See it on YouTubeI'm already excited about seeing the HD Moon in my nightmares and calling the Four Giants to stop it

Not surprising; when there's Ocarina of Time there has to be Majora's Mask!
@sarahedwards2See it on YouTubei dont think Austin mentioned it but around 13:33 the 296 dialog from a child says maybe monsters would ignore me if i wore one of those, isn't that literally one of the functions of the majora's mask in botw and totk?
@sanchisanchi1838See it on YouTubethe running man talking about the ears is probably about the ears on the bunny hood rather than the spikes on majoras mask so that he can run away from the mask faster
