Ocarina of Time Remake Sells 5.2 Million Copies in Four Days
Nintendo's Ocarina of Time remake sold 5.2 million copies worldwide in four days after launching for Switch 2.
The game is a remake of the 1998 Nintendo 64 classic, which sold 7.6 million copies over its lifetime.
It is the fastest-selling Nintendo-published Switch 2 game so far, according to Nintendo's figures.
The remake's four-day sales amount to about 70 percent of the original's lifetime total, and Nintendo's number includes digital and physical copies.
Nintendo's figures also put it ahead of Donkey Kong Bananza, which had sold 5.05 million copies by the end of September, though sales figures for games published by other companies are not included.
The result could encourage Nintendo to remake more classic games, but the company has not announced any next projects.
The remake has also been met with critical acclaim, and its strong launch has been linked to increased US Switch 2 sales.
Nintendo’s remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time sold 5.2 million copies worldwide in its first four days.
The sales figure makes it the fastest-selling Nintendo-published game for Switch 2 over that period.
Nintendo Life reported that 810,000 copies were sold in Japan.
The remake’s first four-day total is about 70 percent of the N64 original’s reported lifetime sales of 7.6 million.
Polygon said the remake was likely already the second-best-selling Switch 2 game, while noting Nintendo’s published figures do not cover third-party titles.
