Or else you'd have to grind for levels, which is the most tedious aspect of any RPG, and even more so in Z2. I'm not saying "boo hoo this game is too hard boo hoo," but be honest. I am certain that I am not the only person whose NES controller hit the wall several times while trying to get through that part of the game.
That's an opinion though, not a fact. I used to find Death Mountain a rather satisfying challenge to overcome.
