Wheter something has "aged badly" may also depend on why it has "aged badly".
For example: try to play Doom 2 without a mouse, at 320x240 resolution and 30 fps or lower. You'll probably despise it. Now try it with keyboard and mouse controls (without mouse acceleration), 1080p resolution or higher with 60fps or higher (not to mention mods). You're going to have a notably better experience to the former.
One of the biggest reasons why people hate the Water Temple (my favorite dungeon) is due to the game's UI. Every time you had switch between normal boots and irons boots (you had to do this A LOT) you had to pause and probably even scroll to the right submenu. Wanted to check the map? Do the same thing! The 3DS remake remedied these wonderfully (it even quides you to the places where you change the water level).
