Littler successfully defended his world title in a 7-1 destruction of Gian van Veen at Alexandra Palace on Saturday, stamping his mark as the best player on the planet.
The 18-year-old cemented his place in darts folklore by joining Taylor, Adrian Lewis and Gary Anderson in winning back-to-back Ally Pally titles.
It was the crowning moment in a stellar year for Littler, who has won five of the last six major tournaments in a period of dominance not too dissimilar to that of darts great Taylor.
Taylor's record of 16 World Championship titles has long been deemed an untouchable feat, and Littler is not looking too far ahead, despite age and time being on his side.
"It's so far away," Littler said. "Yeah, 14 to go. Another 15 or 16 years, I'd say, and I'll start thinking about it.
"If it happens, it happens. I'll be around for a very long time, and I'm here to win.
"It's something any darts player could do, myself, being so young and already picking up two of these.
"Who knows if I could reach it. If I get five or six, I'll be happy.
"I think I could if I stay around for long enough, keep the hunger.
"Once the hunger goes, there's no point playing. But there's a lot of hunger left inside of me."
Littler became the youngest-ever World Championship winner in January 2025, aged just 17 and carried on his momentum through this year's field.
Van Veen - the reigning World Youth Championship winner - looked poised to cause trouble for him in the final with a string of top displays en route.
The 23-year-old Dutchman dispatched former world champions Luke Humphries and Anderson in a breakout tournament, but Littler's quality ultimately proved too much.
