The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake has sold a staggering 5.2 million copies within just four days of its release. This hyper-fast sales figure makes it the fastest-selling Nintendo-published Switch 2 game globally. The game, initially launched on November 5 for $59.99, boasts a complete graphical overhaul of the 1998 original, alongside enhanced quality of life updates like additional NPC dialogue, refined camera controls, and a designated jump button.
As of September 30, Nintendo has sold a total of 26.35 million Switch 2 units, implying that nearly 20% of Switch 2 owners have purchased the Ocarina of Time remake to date. This impressive sales performance, despite the game's limited availability on this platform, is notably lower than the sales figures of its popular counterpart, Grand Theft Auto VI, which has pre-sold more than 12 million copies across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
The latter's pre-sales were announced ahead of its November 19 launch, with some companies even offering employees paid time off to play the game.
