For the DS version only:

After you beat the Ocean Palace, there is a new dungeon that opens up called the Lost Sanctum. It's a pretty awful sidequest to be honest - the best rewards you get from it are right at the beginning and right at the end. So if you want to do it, do just the start, or all the way through. Be warned, the rewards completely break what's already a fairly easy game right in half.

Other than that, it's pretty much the same with an improved translation. The Dimensional Vortex part also helps bridge the gap between CT and CC.
