Ugh, personally I find this entire thread just an exercise in Zelda fanboyism. Throw away all the fancy sales numbers and that's all this thread boils down to, a place where old school Zelda purists can decry the new directions some of the more recent Zelda games have taken and other Zelda fans who like the innovations spring up to defend them. Everything on this thread is based solely on each person's opinion and in the end it just doesn't matter.
But maybe that's just me. I didn't get in to the Zelda series until Wind Waker so I don't have that OoT nogalista to draw upon in regards to difficulty or art style. My family was also fairly strict about how much time I was spending playing video games so I learned to treat every video game I played with reverence looking past the small flaws to find as much enjoyment out of each one as I could. So for my personal opinion I can't find any difference in the perceived difficulty of the overall game between OoT, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and TP on the GameCube, but that may also be simply due to the fact the N64's controller maybe less precise and difficult to work with than the GameCube's.
