I've played them once, started a second time, but I don't think I got very far. Which is sad, I liked them. I should play them again... If I only had time. Too many games to play, too much other stuff to do...

But yes, I do remember them being pretty hard. I think. It's been too long now to be sure. And I suck at 2D-Zelda anyway.
