Take-Two CEO Calls The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake ‘Magnificent’
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick praised The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake and said the company competes across the entertainment industry.
A few days before GTA VI’s release, Zelnick praised Nintendo for releasing the updated Ocarina of Time. Asked in an interview whether Take-Two considered the game a competitor, he said:
It’s a great game, and they should be very proud of their project.
Zelnick went on to say that Take-Two competes with “everything and nothing at the same time.” Consumers have many ways to spend their free time, from playing video games to watching movies. Unlike food, he said, entertainment is not a necessity.
In the entertainment industry, you compete with everything and nothing. Everything, because consumers have many ways to spend their time, and nothing, because if there’s nothing good around, people don’t have to consume anything at all. It’s like food: it may not taste good, but you’ll still get hungry. Entertainment isn’t a necessity. It’s something people simply want. So our job is to create the best entertainment on the planet. When we succeed, people come.
GTA VI will be released on November 19, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake is already available exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2.
