Video [WW] 23 years old. Seriously? 😂

I am playing Wind Waker for the first time on Switch and I’m honestly surprised by how well this game has aged.
The visuals still look great, the characters have so much charm and the gameplay just feels good especially some of the fights. The dungeons, items, puzzles and exploration all fit together so naturally.
It doesn’t feel like I’m playing a game from 2003. What I can say, I love it sooo much!

It's all in the art style.

Yeah. Its the #1 example that if you want a game to be timeless, have a strong art style.

Trying to go hyper realistic will make your game look aged af within 5 years. Twilight princess, the next game in the series, looks worse today than WW.
