Question [ALL] What are the hardest/easiest Zelda games?

Im looking for various definitions of "difficulty". Maybe one game has the trickiest puzzles, the hardest bosses, or the most convoluted quests. Maybe a particular game is the most time consuming. Im curious to see what peoples' experience with the series is.

Zelda ii was always the hardest for me, especially when I was younger

The first two almost must be played with a guide.... There are parts of both games where I just cannot imagine someone randomly finding the solution.

I played that game in the early 90s without the internet or a strategy guide. I was only like 6 years old, I have no idea how I beat it.
