Yeah, it's definitely the more difficult of the original three if you dont count the confusing non linear Simon's Quest (simply trying to figure out where to go and what to do.. most kids back in the day had a lot of trouble with the second title... similar to Zelda II Adventure of Link).

Ahh, yes mmm hmm. Thats why the name for the main character in Symphony of the Night (which is probably the best CV game to date). Fun Fact! The Konami code works on the OG PS1 SotN. It lets you play as Richter instead of Alucard, which Richter was the main Belmont from Castlevania Bloodlines & Dracula X games.
