Zelda: Ocarina of Time Sells 5.2 Million Copies in Four Days
The Ocarina of Time remake sold over 5.2 million copies in four days, making it the fastest-selling Nintendo-published Switch 2 game, Nintendo says.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake sold more than 5.2 million units worldwide in its first four days, Nintendo announced on 11 November. That makes it the fastest-selling Nintendo-published Nintendo Switch 2 game globally, and in the US, Canada and Latin America.
The figure covers both digital and physical sales from the game's launch on 5 November, according to Nintendo's internal sales data. Note the qualifier: it's the fastest-selling Switch 2 game that Nintendo itself published, so the comparison doesn't include third-party releases.
The remake so far
The remake rebuilds the 1998 Nintendo 64 game with new visuals, orchestral music, voice acting, expanded cutscenes and reworked camera and movement controls. Critics have been just as keen as buyers: for the scores and what reviewers said, see our launch article.
Part of Zelda's 40th anniversary
The release is part of The Legend of Zelda's 40th anniversary celebration, marking four decades since the first game launched in Japan in 1986. Nintendo says the celebration also includes a worldwide concert tour of the series' music starting in 2027, and The Legend of Zelda live-action film, in cinemas on 30 April 2027.
