Yes the graphics are 16bit. But they hold up so well. OoT looks dated and is almost non-playable amongst the newer standards of the next gen 3d graphics (the draw distances are terrible). But LttP was and is at the fore front of sprite based games and is a hoot not only for nostaglia but also something I will offer to future generations of gamers as a true classic. What great story, and twists, and fun gameplay. Like a favorite moview that you cherish and want to relive, I take my time to enjoy each aspect and have never raced to get through. A rarity in gaming.
