Nintendo’s remake of “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” launched last week and has been a major sales success.
Variety reports that the title sold 5.2 million copies in its first four days post launch, despite the game only being available on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.
It is now the fastest-selling Nintendo-published Nintendo Switch 2 game globally and in both North America and Latin America according to the company.
The title, a full remake of the original 1998 game made for the Nintendo 64 gaming console, was one the most highly anticipated releases of the year and second only to “Grand Theft Auto VI” this Fall.
It also pulled in the best Metacritic score for a game title for this year so far at 96/100. The title was part of the overall celebration of “The Legend of Zelda” franchise’s 40th anniversary.
“The Legend of Zelda” live-action film is still on track to hit cinemas on April 30th 2027.
