Play an Ocarina of Time when it first came out, which means I was playing straight through with no sleep, until I finally came upon the volcano level and got stuck. I got so frustrated that I went to the GameStop and picked up a strategy guide. Only to discover that the section I was stuck on was actually super easy and I was just sleep deprived.

It was always the water temple for me as an unmedicated ADHD child.
As an adult it’s laughably easy.
Was it so new there was no GameFAQs guide yet at the time?
