It has more of an effect than you think. It makes some enemies really hard to hit no matter what you do. Not to mention navigating through the games many puzzle rooms.
Anyways I haven't played the game in a long time (not to mention I never finished it since it was so horribly boring and tedious) so I don't really have time to go research, analyze, and write down all of the gameplay mechanic improvements made in lttp when they made the jump to the SNES. Just watch the video, johnny does a pretty good job at nailing most of them. I assure you they are completely different games in terms of mechanics. It's crazy how tedious zelda I/II feel by comparison. The bottom line is zelda I/II are not fun to play, FSA is very fun to play. I don't care if they're both 2D games, that means jack squat when assessing whether they succeed in doing what video games are supposed to do (create an engaging and "fun" experience).
Here is his lttp video for comparison purposes:
