Careful about this kind of thinking. Remember the vast majority of people never finish the game, and at least one capable gamer (dtewi) stopped playing Ocarina of Time because he got stuck and couldn't continue.

Out of curiousity, did he get stuck because he kept getting killed by enemies, or because he couldn't wrap his head around a puzzle?  Because the number one reason I've heard for people not beating Ocarina is summed up in two words:  Water Temple.

I grant freely that it was the Water Temple.

Though in my last playthrough of the game, first one in about six years, the hardest part of the game for me was actually fighting Dark Link. Still don't know what was up with that.
