A Link to the Past may not be my favourite Zelda game (though it's close), but I reckon it has a perfect difficulty curve throughout the entire game. Yes, better than all the other Zelda games! It was often my complaint with the others that certain bosses and temples are as easy as shite. So not once in all 5 times I went through the entire game did I think to myself that this part was too easy or hard. When playing it the first time I struggled a lot, but it meant so much more when over-coming what seamed impossible (which was pretty much everything).
