Is A Link to the Past Really That Much Harder Than Other Zelda Games?

-

Hey everyone! I’m currently playing A Link to the Past and I’m really struggling with it. Compared to other Zelda titles like Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, The Wind Waker, and Link’s Awakening, this one feels way tougher. I’m constantly running into enemies both in the overworld and dungeons, and I keep dying. Is it just me being bad at the game, or does LttP actually have a higher difficulty level? Thanks for any insights!

Are you currently in a specific part of the game? It’s important to use all your weapons and not just rely on your sword. If you see pots, throw them! Try using your boomerang or hookshot to freeze enemies too. And don’t forget to carry fairies! You can get bottles early in the game to help you out.

I just finished the Dark Palace. I keep losing hearts and dying just moving around the overworld! I’ll try to make better use of my fairies before reaching the dungeons.
