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.

Elden Ring gameplay loop  and controls is  polished simplicity. It not like totk. Where it's controls are probably the most complicated/ clunky I have ever played. Main point is game with good controls and solid gameplay loop will age just fine. Ninja Gaiden black is is 20 years old and it ages beautifully
