The Boss Gauntlet, like all the other Boss Battles, is also timed. However, after each boss fight, you'll have the option to open one of two treasure chests that appear, and they could include any useful items, even extra heart containers. It's a challenge in which you must defeat every boss in a row, starting with 5 hearts. In addition, when you defeat all 8 bosses, a 9th slot will unlock in Boss Battle Mode, known as the Boss Gauntlet. Each battle is timed so the player can test themselves on how speedy they are at boss fighting. You can relive any boss battle within the game, whether you are young or adult link when you approach the bed.

Now when Link goes up to his bed and presses A, you have the option to either take a Nap, which will simply refill your hearts, or relive past nightmares of the bosses you've already fought, otherwise known as Boss Battle Mode. Master Quest is mirrored in the 3DS version, but not in the original Master Quest version on the GameCube disc. The number representing the number of times you lost all of your hearts is not present on the load screen in the 3DS version, but was included in all previous versions. The Sheikah Stones are NOT in the Master Quest portion of the game. Sheikah Stones are new to the 3DS version of Ocarina of Time their purpose is to aid the player with visions of part of a quest or obtainable upgrade the player has not found yet.

When he has his sword drawn and L-targets an enemy, Link will sometimes twirl his blade. Also, when enemies are near, Link automatically goes into a 'ready' stance, whether he is armed or not. Taking notes from later entries since the N64 release, Link now turns his head to face locations/objects of interest. Link's animation has been made more dynamic in OoT 3D.
