- Ganon is referred to as Gannon in the Famicom version, but is changed to Ganon in the NES version.
- The Famicom version refers to Another Sleeping Princess Zelda, where as the NES version simply refers to her as Princess Zelda. In this case the Famicom version is more appropriate, as the Zelda in Adventure of Link is a different Zelda than the one that appeared in The Legend of Zelda. She is the original Princess Zelda and all other girls born into the Royal Family after her are named Zelda. This change is likely just to provide ease of understanding of the story, where as the more detailed information is in the Instructional Manual.
- There are a number of spelling and grammatical errors, along with name changes, including the word Tryforce instead of Triforce, Disvalley instead of Valley of Death, and Great Sanctuary instead of Great Palace.
