For example, the Power Glove is said to have been given by the God of Power to the one who built the Desert Palace, and the God of Wisdom supposedly fought with Moldorm in the past to stop it from destroying the world.
  • Some of the bosses have been expanded on. Moldorm is described as a mechanical automaton, and has the power to create a localised Dark World space that transforms Link into his bunny form. Mothula's room is now lined with thorns, and it has encased the maiden in a cocoon rather than the usual crystal. Blind is also given a motivation as wanting to steal the Triforce from Ganon to prove that he is the better thief.
