- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake has become the highest-rated remake ever with a 96/100 rating on Metacritic.
- This score comfortably puts it above Capcom’s Resident Evil Remakes and others from the likes of Bluepoint Games.
- The remake has also become Metacritic’s highest-rated game in terms of user reviews.
Nintendo’s latest release has taken the world by storm, delivering a worthy recreation of the world’s highest-rated game. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake has also become the best user-rated release on Metacritic, beating out Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
However, the game has earned one more accolade to its name. As it stands, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake is the highest-rated remake to date.
Why it matters: Over the years, iconic and groundbreaking titles like Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 2, Dead Space, and more have received remakes, but it appears they all pale in comparison to Nintendo’s latest release.
At the time of writing, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake has a Metacritic score of 96/100. This puts it far beyond Capcom remakes like Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 2, which have scored 93/100 and 91/100 on the platform, respectively.
Similarly, the game has outperformed entries in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy. Bluepoint titles like Demon’s Souls Remake and Shadow of the Colossus also fall behind The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake. The ranking of the current highest-rated remakes is as follows:
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – 96/100
- Resident Evil 4 – 93/100
- Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth – 92/100
- Demon’s Souls – 92/100
- Resident Evil 2 – 91/100
- Shadow of The Colossus – 91/100
A title like Metroid Prime Remastered, released by Nintendo in 2023 and rated 94/100 on Metacritic, could also fit on this list in the second spot. Although the name suggests otherwise, Metroid Prime Remastered is certainly closer to a ground-up remake than a traditional remaster.
Anyhow, however you look at it, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake comfortably sits at the top of the list.
One reason the remake has scored so highly is that the original game was incredibly beloved and popular to begin with. Perhaps it should have come as no surprise, then, that this remake would end up triumphing above everything else.
