I always felt the point was that "there's no intended solution". The original thing about Master Quest is that it was supposed to be a harder version of the original game, not only different, and what's harder than not having an intended way to reach the solution beforehand? With only six possible combinations, it's not unlikely that they chose not to make the solution intuitive, as that's the primary way to make Zelda puzzles harder, to remove the hints of the solution.
