Zelda 2's difficulty is honestly pretty balanced once you've figured out a steady plan for killing Iron Knuckles. I'm not really sure WHAT they wanted you to do with them, but jumping and stabbing works really easily and once you figure that out the rest of the game is pretty doable

There's a couple of things that are kinda hard to figure out - New Kasuto is the most frequently cited example - but I dunno, I figured it out as a kid? There weren't all that many places to go or things to do once it came down to it and that one area of the overworld seemed suspicious
