what is difficult for some is easy for others. You shouldnt use other peoples opinions on difficulty as your own, because the ONLY way you can find out if its difficult for you is to try it yourself. People here hare also on different levels, some have been playing for a year, some for many more, so their answers will be different.

but if you desperatly need other peoples opinions to form your own then go ahead.

It's rather easy (lol ...) compared to others because of how logical its sequence is.  It also fits nicely under the fingers.

If you have smaller hands it may be harder, and you may find it hard to have the melody flow with the odd way it is constructed.

It is impossibly hard.
the OC is easier.

j/k, but from where I am as a pianist, it's just out of my reach.

How Many Hours Should You Practice the Piano? – The Lines Between Science, Method and Passion
It is a timeless question, a persistent voice in the mind of every pianist: “How many hours must I practice to truly improve?” It springs from a perfectly legitimate desire to measure the commitment required to transform our ambitions into sound, whether that means playing a simple minuet or dreaming of the world’s most prestigious stages. Giulio Cinelli from Pianosolo.it guides us through this classic topic. Read more
