I think the first Shantae was a bit more difficult than the later instalments; it might or might not feel frustrating. I'd also recommend Super Metroid and Metroid Zero Mission. SM does little in the way of active hand-holding but I think it's designed well enough to feel fair. MZM is an improved remake of the original Metroid and actually gives you pointers on where to go next. Of course if those two work out there's also Metroid Fusion but I'd play the other two first.
