  It's the attention to non graphical details and the density of the game. In modern games, you have huge spaces, and little density in the gameplay. In old games you are doing simple things in a small space, but very regularly with more steaks: it has way more density. And old game has the charm and personality of the current indy games, but the professionalism of the greats. It has a soul, even with no story, few pixels. It has an identity. It's very rare to find a game that has that today, and this is what nintendo is still good at. Remember the first time you woke up in the kokiri forest ? It was amazing. I tried it again. It is still amazing. With very few things, it shines, it lives. Now the first time I come out of the bunker in Fallout 4 ? The first time I spawn in Skyrim ? Meh. Not bad, it was fun. But it was not unforgettable. Now I know it is possible to make a great game, with a lot of space, fantastic graphism, and density, and a soul. But it's very rare. That and the fact we are getting older, and we are partial to games we loved when we were younger :)
