Which is harder: The original Super Mario Bros. or the first Legend of Zelda?

I've already beaten Super Mario Bros. for the NES and I plan on getting the original Legend of Zelda for Virtual Console on the Wii. I need a general idea of how hard it's gonna be, to see if my goals are reasonable.

Thanks!

    Ah the memories...Zelda will be more difficult as it takes more thought regarding puzzles and quests. SMB is just a mind-numbing push-through.

    Zelda 2 though, was so awesome....

    Hey,

    If you need to download Super mario Bros X you can get it here for free: http://bit.ly/1p0Cbkr

    This videogame has adapted to our necessities, allowing you to play with another friend at the same time. It stands out for its customizable levels and new battle mode.

    It's a great game.

    Legend of Zelda is infinitely harder. I beat Super Mario Bros. hundreds of times, and haven't even gotten past the fifth dungeon on the original Zelda title.

    The first Zelda game is a bit of a challenge. I've always found the Super Mario Bros. games quite easy.

    It depends on what you mean by "harder".

    If you're talking about getting frequently killed by your enemies, I would say that SMB is slightly harder than Legend of Zelda.

    However if by harder you are referring to the mechanism of the gameplay, in that case Legend of Zelda is harder than SMB.

    I beat Super Mario Bros. easily actually when I was little but two games that I couldn't beat even till this day is Legend of Zelda and Metal Gear. Tha's right? I couldnt' get past the first level. How patethic I am yet I mastered MGS 1,2 and 3. 4 is my next victory.

    This and Bionic Commando. I loved and hated that game.

    It's been 16 years and I still never beat Super Mario Bros (Nes). On the other hand, I never played the first Legend of Zelda. But If I can beat Super Mario Bros one day I would be glad to call myself an accomplished gamer.
