Today we have the internet. Which makes everything wayyyyyyyyyyy easier. And kids can still handle Zelda 1. My nephew was handling Zelda 2 quite well when he was 8. I would even say that today is the perfect time to play those incredibly hard games, with all the resources we have and miiverse.

Zelda 1 and 2 have been redeemed entirely by the Internet in the past decade, but that's still an antiquated set of games that was designed for the same kids that grew up on Megaman and Ghosts and Goblins. They're not comparable in difficulty or design to the games designed for and played by kids today, even if you or I have extremely anecdotal evidence suggesting otherwise. 

Nah.

Just because some aspects might seem outdated doesnt mean all aspects are. Neither it means that those "outdated" aspects couldn't be brought back in an updated fashion. That's why the Dark Souls games are being mentioned so much, that series is champ in taking old ideas and modernising them. Is obvious no one is asking to bring back Zelda 1 elements unfiltered. They have to make it work within a more modern design. In the case of the dificulty of Zelda games, it can be just as hard as the classic entries as long as the challenge itself manages to feel "fair" by today standars.
