The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's Switch 2 remake has got off to a flying start, as Nintendo says it sold more than 5.2 million copies worldwide in its first four days.
Nintendo shared the figure today (November 11) in an announcement from Nintendo Co., Ltd., reported by Nintendo Life and VGC, with the total covering both physical and digital sales from the game's November 5 launch up to the end of November 9, including around 810,000 copies in Japan, according to Nintendo Life.
Hey! Listen! (to these sales figures)
Nintendo says it's "the highest global sales for any Nintendo-published Nintendo Switch 2 game in its first four days", which is a slightly careful way of putting it, as VGC explains that Nintendo can only really compare its own games, since not every third-party publisher shares sales figures for each console. Nintendo Life adds that it's already second among Switch 2 games, edging past Donkey Kong Bananza's 5.05 million, although it's still got a fair way to go to catch Mario Kart World at 16.48 million.
It's also quietly overtaken a few of its own relatives in less than a week, as VGC points out that Echoes of Wisdom (4.09 million after seven months), A Link Between Worlds (4.26 million), Phantom Hourglass (4.13 million) and Spirit Tracks (2.61 million) are all now behind it. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are safe at the top for now, with 35.76 million and 22.71 million copies respectively, so Link's got plenty more Rupees to collect before he's the series' best-seller.
None of that's much of a surprise given how the remake has been received, as it's officially the highest-rated game of 2026 so far, and it's already topped the UK charts with the second-biggest physical Zelda launch ever. Well, it turns out 28 years was well worth the wait (even for the Water Temple).
