Only twice? How low have standards gotten that this is considered hard? My brother and I got our asses kicked playing the first three Zelda games.

I don't understand. Is the OP some kind of sarcasm that I am missing? Is 2 deaths in 4 hours being described as having "difficulties"??

Relative to many games this two deaths in four hours is hard. I died more in Xenoblade because I kept trying to take on really challening creatures. Oh and you had to get your team right. Zelda will be easier than many games I am sure. It is really good fun so far. Only done first hour.

I have died once in first boss battle.

But I am very slow. I cannot imagine how I am going to finish this in less then 50 hours.... it took me 47 hours for twilight Princess.

So the "I waggled. I died." comment from Gamestop was showing that they can't play games at all then, am I right?

For the current standard of Zelda games dying in the first boss battle is a thing to celebrate. It doesn't mean the game is extremely difficult but at least it has some challenge in it unlike Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. Honestly, when was the last Zelda that you died in the first dungeon? Probably more than 10 years ago in OoT.

Well, I've played 6 hours and I still haven't died (although I almost died once, but that's because I suck).

And yes, the shield is quite useful.

Lol.Play dark souls noob :)

I guess Zelda fans are just not used to dying anymore. After all, it's been, what, eighteen years since the last Zelda game where dying was physically possible?

Soo....difficult......must......raggggggeeeeee
