Challenging?

Recently, I've started replaying the Oracle games, and granted they are fun, and entertaining, but I have found one flaw. They are just not challenging (except for Jabu Jabu's Belly in OOA). Neither are any of the Handheld Zelda games, at least not anymore. I hate making a thread like this, but I would assume that other people share the same thoughts as I do. I was just seeing if anyone has any challenges that may be near impossible, or just difficult to do. Right now I am trying to beat Twinrova and Ganon, with the L-1 sword, Cursed Ring (2X damage, 1/2 sword damage), and I cannot lose three hearts (linked game gives you 4 to start with). While this is challenging, yes, it is the only challenge I have yet to come up with. If anyone knows any challenges for any of the handheld games, could you please post them. Maybe you guys could try them too.

And to spur a little more conversation, do you guys agree that Handheld Zelda games are just getting easier? I definitely think so (maybe due to the casual gamer audience), but I still think Handheld Zelda's (well, Zelda in general) needs a revamp in difficulty. They could at least include different difficulties.

I personally thought OoX's difficulty (and LA's) is perfect, until TMC came along for being easy (still a good game) with PH continuing the trend.

I will agree with TMC and PH being easy, but I slightly disagree with the difficulty of OOX and LA. I disagree because at first these games are difficult, but soon the challenges and puzzles become repetitive and the game (for me at least), gets way too easy. I just don't see any challenge in these games really. Granted I find more challenge in these games than in the 3D zelda games, but still. That's why I asked if there are any challenges I could do, or anyone could do for that matter, because I don't feel challenged enough. Now I'm not saying I dislike these games, I don't, in fact OoA is probably my third favorite game. I don't know, I just don't find any challenge in these games.

Somewhat same here. Seasons for me was easier. The oracles and LA are hard on the first try but that was years ago. But I think they are at a good difficulty level certainly Nintendo should not go below that.

Well I thought the PH boss fights upped the challenge a lot more than even TP. At least for the first playthrough, but that's the one that counts
