No, the enemies don't take off more hearts. I rarely lose a whole heart. And even when I do, there's always enough jars or grass around to get it back. For too easy in the combat department.
But the puzzles are harder IMO. Like Jason said, the first dungeon is pretty hard puzzle wise. Though not incredibly difficult.
The story is really good so far. More twists and turns than most Zelda games, which is nice. If you haven't read spoilers, you're definetly going to be surprised. And either way, you're going to be pleased. *very minor spoiler*
This is really the first direct sequel in the Zelda series, except maybe AoL. While other Zelda have taken place right after another and had the same Link (like OoT and MM or LttP and LA), their stories have never been directly connected. This one has very direct connections to Oot. You'll see what I mean.
*end spoiler*
I really like the game. I don't like it as much as OoT or MM, but it is certainly worth of being a Zelda game.
And although I do actually like the cel-shaded graphics now, I still hope they have more realistic graphics in the next game.
*shrugs and walks away*
