I must have really sucked at video games when I was a kid.

Because you were smaller, the games just seemed so much bigger. You were amazed by everything you saw, so you took your time.

Now you're not only playing a game you already know, it's also a game that's incredibly simple by today's standards.

I have personally found that some games are harder now than when I was a kid. Super Mario Bros 3, the last world with all the battleships, tanks and firepits. How did I ever beat that game as a 12 year old??

That statement reminds me of how I recently played all the way through Zelda II: The Adventure of Link in one day. It took me four hours to complete, and I only got one "game over".

You're a boss. That's the only Zelda game I haven't finished. I don't know how I'm gonna do it.
