Much like in {{OoT3D|-}}, the item system is revamped. Items can be assigned to the X and Y buttons, while two extra item slots were added to the two right corners of the touch screen. The {{OoT|Item}} is permanently assigned to bottom left corner of the touch screen, while the [[Pictograph Box]] is permanently assigned to the top left corner once obtained. Tatl is also now assigned to the right on the Control Pad.

Motion controls can also be optionally used when in first person view. They allow Link to look around during movement when the L button is held without anything targeted. Unlike the original game, the viewpoint does not reset to a neutral position when the Circle Pad is released or motion control movement is ceased.

Link's [[Mask]] transformations have been altered. When performing [[Deku Link]]'s Spin Attack, the tip of his hat transforms into a root. Deku Link also needs to be build up speed in order to start running. This affects hopping farther on water, now requiring walking around before performing a Spin Attack. When shooting a [[Bubble Blast]], a sight appears when going into first person perspective. Also, the bubble does not burst if charged for too long. When flying after using a [[Deku Flower]], the R Button can be pressed to show a mark where Deku Link will land.

[[Goron Link]]'s attacks are executed faster. Curling is now done by simply pressing the A Button once. To uncurl, the A button must be pressed again. His turn rate while rolling has been reduced.
