The gameplay and graphic design of Oceanhorn closely follows that of The Legend of Zelda video games, notably The Wind Waker and A Link to the Past. Players explore dungeons, fight monsters with various weapons, and throw pots and cut bushes to find hidden coins or hearts. The music of Oceanhorn was composed by Kalle Ylitalo, with a few additional compositions by Kenji Ito and Nobuo Uematsu.

The initial critical reception of Oceanhorn was positive. CNET commented that "if The Legend of Zelda were to come to mobile ... we don't think it could do a better job [than Oceanhorn]", and TouchArcade praised the "excellent music, occasional voice-acting, and vibrant, lush 3D graphics," concluding that the game "might be a flawed, blatant rip-off of Zelda, but it's worth playing."

The game has a rating of 85 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on 19 critic reviews.
