The signature central dungeon, [[Tower of Spirits]], no longer includes a curse that weakens Link and kills him when the time limit runs out. Due to this change, the time limit itself has also been omitted. This renders the "[[Safe Zone]]s" only useful for hiding from enemies. In addition, the floors of the Tower only have to be explored once each, as there's a central staircase that allows direct access to newer areas. Princess Zelda, who replaces Ciela from {{PH|-}} as Link's partner, serves a more helpful purpose through her ability to [[Phantom Zelda|possess Phantoms]] that inhabit the tower.

Obtainment of [[Train Cars]] is easier than the search of [[Ship Parts]] in {{PH|-}}, whose locations are entirely random. In this game, they can be purchased with [[treasure]]s, which are still random but also present in a wider variety of forms and objects; thanks to this, search for the golden parts can be made more directly. Another aspect that simplifies the Train Car collection is that the [[Spirit Train]] itself will have up to four different cars only, as opposed to the [[SS Linebeck]]'s eight ship pieces.

As the Tower of Spirits is progressively conquered to collect Rail Maps, the temples are beaten to restore their [[Force Gem]]s, [[Lokomo Duet]]s are successfully performed, and train-based sidequests are completed to receive extra Force Gems, new tracks become available in order to ease the travel and give more freedom, as well as to unlock secret stations (thus new places, including temples), capture new rabbits, and even discover gates that allow the young hero to warp from one part of Hyrule to another instantly.

Link must be aware of enemies that try to destroy the train, and even take passengers with them. Evil machines like the [[Dark Train|Dark]] and [[Armored Train]]s will patrol the tracks as well, and they're able to immediately destroy the Spirit Train and kill Link instantly.
