Differences
- The corrupt location data bug which led to Chris Houlihan's Room was patched, and the room can only be accessed through glitching or using cheating devices. The floor is no longer blue except directly under the rupees, and the Telepathic Tile was removed along with any mention of Chris Houlihan's name.
- A third Lumberjack by the name of Q. Bumpkin makes an appearance:
- To unlock Q. Bumpkin's Riddle Quest, Link must first obtain 10 Medals of Courage in Four Swords.
- Link must then talk to Q. Bumpkin to start the quest, who will give Link a basket (which replaces the "?" in the item screen) and tell him the first riddle.
- Link will be rewarded with set of three Wooden Carvings, and a secret technique called the Hurricane Spin after completing this quest.
- A new dungeon called Palace of the Four Sword was added in the east side of Pyramid of Power, with four Dark Links as the final bosses.
- New enemies, Like Likes can be found near the Shield Shop in the Dark World.
- Witch's Assistant in Magic Shop is replaced with Maple.
- Good Bee name was changed into Golden Bee.
- Sparkling stones and skulls can be found in the overworld. Hitting sparkling stones will create rupees, while hitting sparkling skulls will create lit bombs.
- Link was given the voice of Young Link from Ocarina of Time.
- The output resolution was changed to match the screen resolution of the Game Boy Advance, reducing the viewable area.
- The buttons were remapped to accommodate the Game Boy Advance's lower number of buttons compared to the SNES.
