    Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker. Those graphics were slammed at the time for being cartoony, but they hold up even now. Meanwhile, games that were going for realism at the time look like ass in comparison to modern realistic graphics. And today’s will suck compared to next year’s and so on.

      I agree, what made WW really work to me was the animation. Also the expressiveness of characters, because in comparison N64 Link basically knew a total of two expressions, and they were dull grumpiness and angry grumpiness.

      I don’t like what they’ve done to the Wii U remake though. I don’t understand why every colour needed to be balanced toward radioactive hell.

      Also unrelated to visuals but the loss of the Tingle Tuner was a shame, that thing was genius. Had so much fun with my siblings with it. I’m sure they could have emulated it with 3DS if they cared, after all 3DS/Wii U connection was a thing for smash for example.
