Difficulty will affect what items one has avilable to them to complete the game as well as modify some of the usages of items.
Easy is like Normal, but makes it easier travelling through hyrule. While you will never find more than 4 swords, there are twice as many chances to get an upgrade.
Items that have 2x chance of finding:
finding the second ½ Magic tucked away in easy will get you ¼ Magic
Also just like vanilla you will have 3x the opportunities to get Lamp!
