Zelda: Ocarina of Time’s top Metacritic spot is facing fresh scrutiny

Did You Know Gaming says Metacritic miscounted early reviews for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Its recalculation argues the game’s average should be 98, not 99, which could cost it sole possession of the top spot.

The claim raises questions about a widely cited benchmark in game criticism and review aggregation.

It could also affect related Guinness World Records and the standing of one of gaming’s most celebrated titles.
