The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 has a Metacritic score of 96 from 81 reviews, the highest of 2026 so far. IGN called it a beautiful retelling and Eurogamer also reviewed it. Producer Eiji Aonuma told GameSpot that Nintendo's staff retention helped it understand the source material, and that the goal was to feel better, not just different, with changes such as a jump button. Navi's original actor was accidentally cast again through blind auditions. A $10 preorder discount ends soon.
