Change tie rods in pairs or not?

I'm finishing up a series of repairs on my front end/steering. Upper Control Arms, Steering Damper, Idler Arm Rebuild, Drag Link, and tie rods. I have one tie rod left. The right side tie rod was visibly bad so I changed it. The left side looks ok, no torn or cracked boots. I had my wife rock the steering wheel back and forth while I watched for play. I'm no expert, but they did not seem to move. Is it good practice to change them at the same time or just when they need it?
