The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Sells 5.2 Million Copies in Four Days
The new version of the iconic game set a record for launch sales among Nintendo Switch 2 projects.
Nintendo reported strong launch sales for the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In the first four days after its release on November 5, 2026, the game sold over 5.2 million copies worldwide. Of these, 810,000 copies were sold in the Japanese market. The figures include both physical and digital sales.
According to Nintendo, this is the best result for the first four days among all the company's games released for the Nintendo Switch 2. Thus, the updated version of the 1998 adventure set a new launch sales record on the platform.
However, the franchise's absolute record for sales speed remains The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which in 2023 surpassed 10 million copies in just three days.
The success of the new release should also be considered in light of the expanded user base of the Switch 2: the game is available exclusively on Nintendo's new console.
