It depends on where we're going with controllers. Older games use far fewer buttons, another reason why they are much easier to replay. The amount of finger gymnastics required for TotK will be a problem with drastic controller changes. TotK needs 14 buttons plus 2 analog sticks to play, which are also buttons lol. Oh and the camera still sucks :p

So yeah, in 20-30 years, games with easier more flexible control schemes will hold up better.

That's not a TOTK thing though, pretty much every big modern game uses every input on a standard controller.

But yeah a lot will hinge on what happens as far as controller design over the next few decades.

Honestly I don't think much will change as far as button controllers go. The standard has been well established and every major manufacturer has been using a variation of the same design for over a decade now (you can argue it's been the standard for twice as long as that).

If major controller changes do come in the future, I think it'll be because of a different control method taking over in popularity, like controlling games with your phone screen or something idk
