The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Tops Metacritic User Ratings

Metacritic has recorded a 9.7 user rating for the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, making it the highest-rated game on the platform.

8 November 2026

The remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has reached the top of the Metacritic user score rankings with a 9.7 out of 10. This result places it ahead of titles such as 'Expeditions: 33' and the original 'Silent Hill 2'.

While the remake maintains a strong user reception, it currently holds a 96 aggregate score from professional critics, trailing the 99-point score achieved by the original N64 version. Players have praised the modernization of the controls and dungeon exploration, though some reports have noted graphical flickering in open-world areas and the omission of a 'Master Challenge' mode.

The game's platform rating has been impacted by artificial negative reviews. Metacritic moderators have removed at least 30 low-score submissions that contained unsubstantiated claims regarding the use of generative AI or criticisms regarding the game's fidelity to the original release.
