The game's art-style has radically changed, creating a much more modern look, with high-resolution models and shaders present. There is a blur effect on the edges of the screen, though only when [[Link]] is in the overworld. The character models appear to have a chibi look, almost reminiscent of toys. | The game's art-style has radically changed, creating a much more modern look, with high-resolution models and shaders present.

*Several items get dedicated buttons - [[Sword]]¸ [[Hylian Shield]], [[Pegasus Boots]], [[Power Bracelet]] - and no longer need to be equipped from the pause menu.

*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. This is a quality of life improvement, allowing quick access for Link to leave the castle, as opposed to having to backtrack through the dungeon, as was required beforehand{{Ref|Nintendo Direct Reveal Trailer 02-13-2019 (1:05)}}. 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]]. | *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.

These are customizable dungeons accessed by speaking to [[Dampé]] in his shack, located where the Camera Shop was in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|Link's Awakening DX]]'' (West [[Tal Tal Heights]]). Dampé presents Link with various challenges, which require him to arrange chambers from previously explored dungeons to create a new dungeon in a specific shape. Chamber Dungeons must have an entrance room, Nightmare's Lair, and all doors must connect. There also must be enough chests holding keys to be able to unlock every locked door or block. If there is more than one stairway in the dungeon, Link must choose which ones will connect. Link can earn various items as reward, including Rupees, and a Fairy Bottle. There is a timer, which counts up; it is unknown whether completing challenges in certain time brackets affects the reward given{{Ref|E3 Nintendo Treehouse: Live Gameplay 06-11-19 (15:16)}}. | These are customizable dungeons accessed by speaking to [[Dampé]] in his shack, located where the Camera Shop was in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|Link's Awakening DX]]'' (West [[Tal Tal Heights]]).
