I want to play zelda 2 for the first time and I know the game is pretty hard, so im asking if i should play it with a romhack that makes the game easier. (like this one)

I played the original on my game & watch, it gets hard and frustrating and repetitive, but I'm stubborn I guess. If you want to be stubborn and grind through it, go for the original, if you want it to be more fun than frustrating, try a hack or that remake.

To be clear, I'm not talking about the classic Zelda g&w from back in the day, but the recent one with a colour screen, that has emulated ROMs of Zelda 1, 2 and Link's Awakening (mono). There are some minor fixes applied (I noticed the lives counter doesn't overflow but goes to double digits in Zelda 2), but they're basically the original games.

I'm a purist, so I'd say the NES version (NTSC-U) is the best experience. If you have a low tolerance for backtracking and Game Over's, you could always do the "Zelda 2 Redux" hack over at r*mhacking[dot]net. The game is legitimately fun to play, even if it's a bit difficult. (Think of Game Over's as a fast-travel system, not a failure.)
If you want to be completely surprised, don't reveal the gameplay tips below: 1) When you attack Darknuts (knights), aim for the head while jumping.
2) Don't collect the lives, but take note of where they are. They go away permanently, so they're only good for one round. Save them for the last area.

I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
