The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2 Sells Over 5.2 Million Units Worldwide in First Four Days

Link’s Reborn Adventure Becomes Nintendo’s Fastest-Selling Nintendo Switch 2 Game in the U.S. and Around the World

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In the first four days following its global launch on Nov. 5, the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system sold over 5.2 million units worldwide, making it the fastest-selling Nintendo-published Nintendo Switch 2 game globally and in the U.S., Canada and Latin America1.

In this full remake of the original 1998 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time game for the Nintendo 64 system, Link sets out on a heroic journey that spans the land of Hyrule and unfolds across two different eras. With reimagined visuals, orchestral music, voice acting, expanded cutscenes, reworked camera and movement controls and more, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is reborn for a new generation and makes a perfect entry point into the series.

The release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is part of the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary celebration, which marks four decades since the first game in the series launched in Japan in 1986. The celebration also features other games and products, a worldwide concert tour beginning in 2027 that celebrates music from the series and The Legend of Zelda live-action film, coming to theaters on April 30, 2027.
