As Link has his Sword during the second visit, he is able to defend himself and does not need to use stealth as in the first visit. Moblins will now simply attack him, instead of bringing him to the jail. Also, Searchlights that are trained on Link will cause [[Bomb]]s to be fired at him and will also attract [[Miniblin]]s. The hero can still be imprisoned if he is caught by the [[Floormaster]] that appears in a certain area of the Fortress, though Link can now use either the [[Boomerang]] or [[Arrow]]s to activate a [[Switch]] located outside his cell that causes the door to open permanently, allowing for increased ease of escape should he be captured again. The Switch is found near the ceiling and is beyond the reach of melee weapons, hence why Link cannot make use of it during his first infiltration of the Fortress.
