To all those who say Skyward Sword is the easiest -- so you're also saying Wind Waker is harder?? I love WW, but I want to know exactly which parts of Wind Waker makes that game harder than SS.
I wouldn't say SS was the hardest, but it was definitely one of the harder Zelda games. I had more trouble with the puzzles in TP because TP was my first official Zelda 3D game (the last game I had played was ALttP as a kid). I then played WW and OoT in that order, and found OoT to be easier than TP (except for bosses) since by then, I had been accustomed to the Zelda formula. In SS, the puzzles were challenging enough but not nearly impossible. Some were easy. Some were really difficult. I felt the difficulty level was well balanced. I also felt SS had more challenging bosses than TP, OoT, and WW.
But I'm wondering for those who are saying SS is the easiest really felt WW (which I felt was easy, but still a LOT of fun) and some of the handheld Zelda games were harder. I know it's different for people, but I'm having a hard time understanding how WW especially is harder than SS.
Even compared to SS's final boss, Ganondorf in OoT, TP, WW, and ALttP was much easier than Demise for me. So for some of you, Ganondorf was harder?
