Alttp, Dead Easy

It's definately not the hardest zelda game, but significantly harder than several other zelda games. I'd say it's harder than OOS, WW, TP, PH, and FSA, but with the others it's hard to say. it's definately easier than LOZ and AOL. with the others its a toss-up (I haven't played LA in a long time, and currently playing through OOA and it's stumping me quite a bit)

the thing is, I've played LTTP so many times, I can't exactly remember how hard it was originally, and it doesn't help that I played a lot of the game with a walkthrough (I was 12... I wish I hadn't done that.)

I guess its hard for people who are not experienced in playing games that require puzzle solving to beat. Why it was so easy for me was because while beating the dungeons all you had to do was have an idea of where you are and if you went by any doors, so you could backtrack later if you needed a key or item.

The reason amny proberly find it easy is because you've completed it already perhaps. When I first played the game I got stuck quite a few times, and that in turn made it a bit harder. But playing it now, I can pretty much remember most of it, which makes things alot more easier.

its the most easy zelda game i finish it in plane rides on singapore airlines. but its also VERY fun its well thought out! if you have never played a link to the past (alttp sounds weird) then i pity you. i finished this game the first time when i was 7 at my friends house.

The Turtle Rock boss was really hard for me.
But yeah. I beat it with out dying and not cheating when doing so. So yeah it was easy. Still fun though.

ALTTP was my second game ever so it was extreamly hard for like a four year old.

In my opinion, TP is easier than ALTTP if you ask me.

It is a very easy Zelda game when compared to others.

I think that it was actually a very difficult game and you say you beat the light world in 32 min yeah right thats not even possible the walking alone would take longer than that.

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?

...well congradulations there son! you sound alittle too arrogant tho....

While the puzzles and dungeons were easy. I kind of found not dying to be hard.

I loved the game, and it is one of my favorites. I think after MM, the games started getting easier (this, of course, does not apply to ALttP).

Is this a joke? ALttP is extremely difficult for me!

I haven't played ALTTP since 6th grade on my GBA I'm in 11th now..

I just started playing it, I hooked it up on my computer and it's sorta hard, i've spent like 3-6 hours but i'm only half way done... I hate this damn water temple...



Idk I highly doubt you could beat it at four, unless you were extremely intelligent. the typical four year old can't even read yet.

Pretty much all Zelda games besides LoZ and AoL are ridiculously easy.

@NintendoTogepi: I know how you feel.

Ever hear of the pegasus shoes?!

I would bet 50 bucks i could do it in 32 minutes.

A link to the past dead easy? Well....maybe that's all in the eye of the beholder. Depends on what type of gamer you are I wager. I've seen some people struggle with puzzles and dungeons and yet, excel at fighting games (which by the way i suck at myself). I could breeze through a quick game of A link to the Past in a single hour (if I stopped to find EVERYTHING along the way). But ask me to play Mortal Kombat will you? You gotta press up, start, left, right, back, back, A, B,.......blahhhh! All that for some bizarre super move? puh-leeze! My brain was built for puzzle solving and strategic thinking in general. Which is by the way is what I feel like A Link to the Past represents. It's not that the bosses were insanely hard or that the dungeons were a trifle difficult. Once you figure a boss out it's pretty much cake walk. But it's when you confront the bosses for the very first time and are stuck with figuring out HOW to beat them. If you had never played the classic for example and were fighting the Dodongos, how would you know that only bombs could destroy them right off? Not only that but the fact that they must in effect "eat" the bombs? Back in the old days THIS was the true challenge of Zelda. Of course here I am years later and the Dodongos are a cinch for me now. I could mop the floor with them with my eyes closed! But that's because I know what it takes to kill them off. Same is true for A link to the past.

....I will argue however that due to Link's ability to move around more smoothly on the main map (and considering you now have the advantage of an arch type swinging motion with the sword), normal enemies present far less difficulty than in the original. Bosses however retain that respectable figure me out before you can beat me stature.....sorry if that sounded weird LOL!

aLttP was not easy for its time. You cannot define how easy an action/ADVENTURE game is by running through it more than once, the only time that counts is the first one. You could get stuck in multiple places in aLttP and not know where to go, the first time around. All Zeldas after aLttP were easier, maybe except MM.
