anyone think the zelda series is getting easer as time goes on

i remember the orginal zelda for the nes it was prety challenging

then came the SNES zelda which was consideriably easer then the nes one

64 was much easer then the snes i usualy beat a boss with my first try

I did not play WW all the way through but my 8 year old brother was able to finish the game but was not able to get pased the first castle in 64 so it tell you something

TP was the easest of the bunch i never died one throught the entire game.

or maybe we're all just getting better at games in general...so they seem easier?

I would have said the difficulty in Twilight Princess was easy-moderate, just like every other 3D Zelda game. If anyone seriously thinks Ocarina of Time was that much harder, then they need to go back and play it again.

And play through the infamous Water Temple? No go, Joe.

The only difficult thing about the Water Temple was the puzzles and navigation. The boss was easy and although Dark Link was challenging, he wasn't that much harder than the amoured knights in TP.

Not really, but thats just me. I thought Majora's mas was harder than Ocarina of time. And I though Twilight Princess was harder than Wind Waker. But I'd imagine that over time it would become less challenging to experianced players in some ways as you'd have a better grasp of how the games work and how to solve the puzzles. As games try to appeal to broader audiences I think Zelda would start to become easier though. I think Nintendo should start implementing difficulty settings to please players of all skill levels.

Agree with you there. I had no problem with the boss, but I had NO idea where to go and what to do during the puzzles. I probably spent 3 weeks on that one temple.

Zelda TP's boss battles were considerably easier than other Zeldas.IronBass

I think so. And I also think every Zelda game since Majoras Mask has sucked.

Doesn't it seem like most games that come out are getting easier and easier? Dead Space, RE5, Bad Company, Okamiand Price of Persia 2008 are really good examples.

Zelda has always been easy. The older games only seem harder because you played them as a child. I remember A Link to the Past was nearly impossible for me as an 8 year-old... now I can beat it in a couple sittings dying a handful of times... and its usually due to something stupid and not a boss.

By the same token, couldn't they seem easier now because you first played them when you were a child and are now good at them?Cherokee_Jack

Overall yes, though Twilight Princess was easier than Wind Waker, and Phantom Hourglass was harder than Minish Cap.

play zelda 2 and the orginal zelda with the 2nd quest their signifficly more diffficult then any other zelda

I think that the 2D gens were harder because games were so restricted and limited then. We are given so many more options now and can move about in a full 3D world. So thats my take on it, its hard to explain but it is what i think.

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] By the same token, couldn't they seem easier now because you first played them when you were a child and are now good at them?foxhound_fox

None of the 3D Zeldas are hard, no, but I thought the original and Link to the Past were quite difficult in spots, not to mention Zelda 2.

Uhh.... yes and no....

The 1st Zelda is a ***** to complete

ALTTP was seemed easier, but it's dungeons were more complicated.

OOT again seemed easier to get through, more so than ALTTP, but a couple of the dungeons were pretty difficult.

Maybe I've just gotten better at puzzle solving as I've gotten older (most likely), but yes they do seem to be getting easier.

While the gameplay is becoming deeper, the game design is far less punishing.

well zelda 2 is completly different then all teh zeldas its a side scroler and has alot of bottomless pits that will kill you with one hit. When you play the orginal zelda write zelda as your name and you will begin on the 2nd quest which is much harder then the first quest. the first quest is not that hard for a nes game and it gets alot easer once you et the magic rod.
