** Spirit Temple chapter:
*** The Spirit Temple boss fight against Twinrova takes place in the same hallway where Link fights Nabooru instead of in a larger boss room.
*** Twinrova doesn't split into her separate parts upon dying as they float up into the beyond, instead, she just curses Link and leaves her corpse behind after dying.

** Chapter 20, the first part of which covers Link's first visit to Romani's Ranch, is mostly copied from ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/18658135 Troubles at Romani's Ranch]]'', though unlike that story the Ranch sidequest is broken up by Link's other adventures (starting with his first trip to the Great Bay).

The sequence generally hits the same beats from the original story, but very little of the text is copied over.]]

** Link admits to seeing Saria as this, as she was the one who was the most involved in raising him and was the only one to stay with him when the rest of the Kokiri shunned him for his lack of a fairy as he got older. In the first chapter Saria is implied to have been the closest thing to a parent that the other Kokiri had as well apart from the Great Deku Tree, as she raised them as babies as well. However, she doesn't quite realize it because as a Kokiri she's never had a non-animal mother to compare herself to.

** On the other hand, some stories from the collection are being adapted much more loosely. Case in point, the scene where Link receives the Great Fairy Mask is followed by an argument between Link and Tatl over him wasting his time getting it, the dialogue being similar but not identical to the equivalent scene in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/36290890/chapters/92850460 The Masks He Wears]]'', though the later scene where Link muses on the Great Fairy in Woodfall being put back together is much closer.
