“It’s Terrific” – Take-Two Boss Acknowledges Zelda Remake’s High Score Ahead Of GTA VI Launch
Take-Two Interactive chief executive Strauss Zelnick praised the Zelda remake Ocarina of Time, calling its Metacritic score “terrific” and saying Nintendo should be proud. Asked about the game and Grand Theft Auto VI launching in the same month, he avoided framing them as direct rivals, saying entertainment competes broadly and audiences will choose what they consider the best.
Ocarina of Time currently has a Metacritic score of 96 out of 100, and early reports indicate positive sales in some locations. GTA VI is described as the most anticipated launch of all time, with presales exceeding expectations; it will be digital-only, with physical retail copies offered as codes in boxes. Rockstar has confirmed a 30fps frame rate on PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S, while availability on Xbox One will be through Xbox Cloud Gaming.
In short
- Zelnick praised Ocarina of Time’s 96/100 score.
- He said audiences choose the entertainment they value.
- GTA VI presales have exceeded expectations.
Explained simply
Take-Two Interactive is the company behind Rockstar Games, the studio that makes Grand Theft Auto. Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda is a separate long-running adventure series, and Ocarina of Time is one of its best-known games; the remake is a modern version of that earlier title.
The two games appeal to different audiences, but big releases can compete for players’ time and spending. Metacritic gathers reviews into an overall score, while sales and launch plans offer other ways to gauge interest.
