I played the hell out of MGS2, 3 and even Twin Snakes. I can still go back to the original on the PlayStation just fine. Sorry, I really don't see where you're coming from on the gameplay.

I can't compare Zeldas gameplay, but I was impressed with how good the visuals looked when I picked it up again last November. It had an almost Disney charm to it. And I play these things on a wide-screen TV. When something's aged I know it pretty quickly.
