*While almost everything in the world shown thus far is identical, a ledge can now be seen on top of [[Kanalet Castle]], allowing Link to jump off.

The entrance to [[Bottle Grotto]] has one of the flowers replaced with a heavy rock, making it possible to re-enter the dungeon after returning [[BowWow]].
