If you haven't played Lost Levels and breezed through levels 1-1 to D-4 (including World 9) then you shouldn't even call the Master Quest a challenge.

Mario still has much more experience at fighting than Link has. He's also done a variety of rescues and adventures unlike Link. Also Mario was capable of fighting enemies ever since he was a baby. (In the Yoshi's Island series)
