Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Sells 5.2 Million Copies in Four Days
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has apparently broken a major sales record right out of the gate.
According to a Nintendo press release reported by IGN, the Switch 2 remake sold 5.2 million copies in its first four days of availability. This makes it the fastest-selling game for the new console to date, per the outlet.
VGC adds that this early sales pace has seen the game outsell other recent Zelda titles like A Link Between Worlds and Echoes of Wisdom in less than a week. Nintendo Life reports the total includes 810,000 copies sold in Japan.
Eurogamer notes that the record is for Nintendo-published games, which are the platform's biggest sellers. The game's launch also reportedly caused a jump in Switch 2 hardware sales in the US.
The release arrives just a few weeks before the long-awaited launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, but the legendary status of the 1998 classic seems to have carved out its own substantial audience.
