Ah, it's a shame I can't find it but there used to be a good 8~ minute video on all the little tips and tricks to make Castlevania a bit easier. Helped me in my playthrough around 4 years ago.

Honestly, OP. It's not that hard at all, I can finish it in about an hour these days when originally it took me around 6-8 to get through the game. Abuse Holy Water as much as you can and just learn the layouts of the stages and how enemies react, also make sure you're spamming your subweapon on candles and stuff, it can drop the Roman Numeral boxes (II, III) which allow you to fire 2 and 3 of your subweapon instead of just 1.There's a lot of random secrets in the walls and stuff, like Pot Roasts that give you health and sometimes you can find items that give you points (which help to get you 1ups).

The only hard part is the Medusa Head room before Death which you just need to run and jump through pretty much, as long as you have Holy Water you're golden. If the game is really difficult, unironically just look up some tips videos on Youtube to teach you all the secret spots so you can finish the game without Save States.
