Zant wasent easy but not hard he was ok my fav part about him was his outfit.
I thought he was a really cool villain until the temper tantrum he started throwing. I went from "Oh, man, what crazy stuff is this guy gonna do next?" to "Oh... um... it's ok, buddy? Here, I'll put my sword down and let you kill me. Will that make you feel better?"
I think Zant is a prime example of less really being more. During the early parts of the game when he was very scarcely seen and the few times you did encounter him he only appeared and would backhand a lightpirit with little effort or revive an ancient dead dragon then pop off without much of a care he really gave off this vibe of incredibly dangerous and very powerful eldritch entity that is a genuine threat. He displayed some amazing feats of power after already takong over most of Hyrule and sending shadow demons after you, after cursing both Link and Midna and transforming all the inhabitants of Hyrule into spirits. It really caused you to wonder if Link really could take this guy, would you actually have to fight him later on in the game? Because against someone like that a few more hearts and some items might not cut it.
He seemed so much more menacing when you knew very little about him or even what he looked like. It was not even clear what power he had. Only that he was perfectly capable of toppling Hyrule and the entire Twili Realm transforming the denizens of both. Later on when the curtain is drawn back and we see a little more about him and actually see little bits of his character he becomes less and less a menace. Before when he stood motionless in a mask the unknown made him more threatening. But when we see not only his less threatening face, but his more wacky and deranged mannerisms he was just not as great a villain anymore. Then being mostly replaced by Ganondorf also did not help matters. Then it was clear that it was not even Zan't own power at work here. And for the remainder of the game he was just the sidekick to the real threat pulling all the strings. He was a servant doing everything Ganondorf wanted until he could make his entrance. With each new event involving Zant he was not only less of a threat, he was less physically and mentally menacing, and even less a main villain.
