2D games always hold up better than 3D games. At least in my opinion.

I can't stand re-playing a game like FF8, but I can play LoZ:aLttP all day without being bothered by the graphics.

This is what I want to know as well. If we're talking about pure gameplay I am just going to throw out Gunstar Heroes. I played it for the first time in my life last year as part of a sega collection I bought on Steam and was absolutely blown away by it. The controls were perfect and the difficulty was paced well, and even when you died the checkpoint system was very nice so you didn't lose much progress. I pretty much refuse to believe that game is nearly 20 years old given how good it plays. It really puts to shame a lot of similar games around the same age.
