After playing through the game and collecting about 90% of the things there is ... I'm still wondering if this game was a little too easy ... I think mostly in reference to the last boss battle of course, which was way too simple with the final act being rather repetitive. However, I felt the dungeons to have a nice pacing, though I felt they got easier as you progressed through the game ... how did you find the difficulty?

Twilight Princess is fantastic and probably among the best Zelda game ever made, and the world is huge and fantastic ... but I probably didn't find it as difficult as I had hoped ... at least it lasted me for a long time (and it still does!)

I may be the only one thinking this but I thought fighting Ganondorf on Horse back was harder then fighting him 1v1 in swordcombat.

It coul've been harder, but looking at the brighter side, beating every boss at the first try kinda made it more epic, and less frustrating.

The difficulty for the level design and puzzles are just right. Hard enough to make you think and stump you once in a while, but notso hard thatit ruins the pace of the game. Enemies on the other hand could use a difficulty boost, especially the bosses.

Well for me, I think I was just too used to the Zelda games already. You know, OoT, MM, WW and now TP.

I'll only say that the Cave of Ordeals 2nd run was easy for me. Good game that TP though. I enjoyed it.

The game was a little bit on the easy side.. I actually find TP a bit easier than Wind Waker. The bosses were a bit too easy, but other than that, I thought the difficulty was good.

I wouldn't say it was difficult at all...it may have taken a bit to figure out what to do on a puzzle or boss....but once that was accomplished, I moved on. I think it's because I have played other Zelda games and know that 3 is the magic killing number and when I see and eye....I know I have to use an arrow. I think the only game over I got was something I did on purpose...

i thought it was easy and lacked real sidequest depth, sure youv got stuff like the gorons but thats no way near as hard as the biggoron sword in ocarina of time.

i got it for christmas and completed it by the time i went back to college. it was addictable but at the same time not too astounding. it was also ment to be a much bigger landscape then OOT but it didnt feel like it.

i liked windwaker better

far too easy, nothing was really a challenge. the cave was alright, you just needed the special armor.

Considering how many complaints the game was bugged due to people not realizing they had invisible rats on them I would say most games are too hard for most American gamers. Most American gamers like FPS or sports games like Madden nothing complicated or original just repackedrubbish and often very shallow in terms of storyline or plot. Therby proving you are what you play. meimnobody

I thoughtthe bosses were too easy. everything else was the standard zelda challenge, and I like that. the bosses were not up to par at all. after playing really hard games and hard boss fights in games like god of war, you could see my point.

Think of it this way, within 40 hours i was able to finish the game with all heart pieces, every item, all the bugs, finish the 100 trials dungeon, and fill up my wallet without once looking at a walkthrough or game guide. The enemies (especially the bosses) were far to easy to defeat and there not as many enemies. the very least they should have made the enemy attacks stronger or add a harder difficulty mode like in metroid prime.

I'd never played a Zelda game before so I found many of the puzzles very challenging especially at first. However, the amount of damage the monsters do has started feeling really off- like only a quarter heart damage from many of the regular monsters. It started bothering me, and I often end up playing other games instead.

I'm not sure about the bosses. Sometimes they seem difficult to me. However, that may well be that it took me too long to figure out the right way to hurt them. I just finished SnowPeak and found her far easier than I expected so maybe its similar to getting used to how the puzzles work in this type of game.

The combat definately could/should have been tougher but it still didn't take much away from the game.

Sad, well for me I was scared of beating the game too quickly ... I finished the game the day before Christmas Eve with 37 hours of play time, but I guess I had five other Wii games and school to keep my busy. :P But it suprirses me thinking I would've played the game on a little more hardcore level.

Too damn easy! The game pissed me, it was really easy, The only kinda difficult thing was the sky temple, activating the fan, I think that I did it the wrong way but I weirdly did it.

Well at the moment I find the game to be frustrating. I absolutely suck at riding a horse, picking off bomb-dropping dragons, and keeping that darn horse and cart from catching on fire. I haven't played in a couple months simply because I can't get past that part and it was getting on my nerves. Yet somehow, everyone I know got past it on their first attempt... I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

So I'm going to say it's hard. I'm probably one of the few people who does NOT think this game is easy, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

So far what ive played (I havent beat it all) it seems kinda easy but what the games needs is voices (exept for Link of course) They need to make a Special Edition with voices and with a difficulty selection

Ya, I thought it was too easy also, the pit of 50 trials did give me a run for my money though.

I got my butt handed to me by some of the mini-bosses. I rarely lost more that a heart for regular bosses.

The puzzles were alright. It was just the enemies that made it seem easy. Boss fights could be made much harder by tossing in some minions like a Darknut or Aerofos. It may increase frustration but at least it will prove to be somewhat of a challenge.

It was a great game but way tooooo easy they should cut back your hearts to 10 instead of 20 or at least make it badass in terms of difficulty.
