Alttp, Dead Easy

Does anybody else find that Alttp is embarrassingly easy? The dungeons, bosses, monsters, and puzzles are so simple that a 4 year old could complete them (I was 4 when I played and beat the game mind you).

Has anybody played Prince of Persia, the Sands of Time? You know how you can see "visions" of how you beat the level ahead of you? You know how easy it is to do so? Well, I find that the dungeons are even easier than that, minus the visions. They are basically a straight line, there are maybe two or three of them that you have to backtrack to figure things out, all it takes is memory of where you have gone, and what paths you have not taken. The map helps a lot in this situation. The only thing that is tedious about the dungeons in Alttp are the traps and annoying monsters, easy to dismantle, easy to kill, but still, tedious.

The bosses, wow, absolutely pa-th-e-tic. I mean, for me, the hardest boss was the third level one, the worms that randomly sprouted out of the ground and pelted you with rocks, at least in that one I couldn't predict their every move and attacks, until, of course, they were out of the ground then they were easy pickings. Agahnim, when I first entered his boss room I expected some epic battle to ensue, but wait, all I have to do is reflect his attacks back at them with a spin attack? What, maybe 5 times? The second battle between you and him really isn't any harder, considering you are able to deflect his phantoms attacks to harm the real wizard to finish him quickly. Helmasaur, Arrghus, Mothula, Blind, Kholdstare, Vitreous, and Trinexx all fell in seconds. I'm serious when I say seconds too, for examply, Mothula dies in only 5-6 hits with the rod of fire, maybe takes 10 seconds? Arrghus probably took the most time to kill because it took extra time to move out of the way when it came at you. You all see what I mean when I say the bosses are comparable to the peons running around the fields?

The puzzles, are kinda like doing grade 1 math. There are four unlit torches and a locked door, what should I do? Well, you people all probably think the same about how easy they are, so I'll just leave it at that.

Am I just a natural or does anybody else share the same opinion as I do?
