Wait until you get to the path to the final palace (NOT dungeon

).
Sssh! Don't tell them that! It's a secret to everybody!
No, seriously. Even if you've got the timing right to bring your sword over Iron Knuckle's heads like an axe, there are plenty of ways for the game to up its difficulty. The 5th palace has "walkthru walls", the 6th palace has "endless puts" (actually, I think so does the 4th), there are plenty of new enemies to see, and barrages of enemies and tricky platforming to be done later.
Max out your stats! Collect as many 1-ups as you can! (Heck, when I was younger and still able to beat this game without save-states, I left every palace intact just so when I hit 8/8/8, I would run straight to the statue, get my 1-up, and have B-number of lives when I hit the death march.)
Not sure if any other game in the series (sans the CDi games, or LoZ: 2nd Quest) throws as much crap your way as Zelda II does.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.
