Wind Waker hasn't aged at all; it was rubbish in 2003 and its still rubbish today. :p

To go with the Majority on this. Although, I will say A Link To The Past before Wind Waker. Both will age very well.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Where's the option for Zelda U aging the best? I think the original zelda or zelda 2 will age the worst.

Easy question. The first one will age the worst because it's the oldest and zelda U will age the best because it's the newest. No need to thank me i just used simple logic.

No, it's because zelda U looks the best and has a timeless artstyle while tloz has arcaic pixelated graphics.

I think most Zeldas would age quite well. Most of them are just as fine to play now as they were when first released. Maybe Skyward Sword will not as much, due to the controls, or the 1st Zelda, which is not very casual friendly at all. Quite cryptic even with how hidden some secrets are.

And why has it got pixilated graphics? because it's the oldest (1986) that's why.

Zelda NES has aged the worst if you ask me, and not because of the graphics; the gameplay is obtuse, cryptic, and annoying.

oldest =/= pixelated. in this case they coincide but the reason for tloz aging the worst is how it looks. For example, if splatoon gets a realistic looking sequel, the first game will age better despite being the oldest.

A Link to the Past wipes the floor with everything else. It's such an easy choice.

Damn right

Or...maybe it's the other way around. You're the one who has aged the worst, curl.

 

You're showing grey hair.

 

Don't shoot the piano player. :P
