In a gaming world buzzing with excitement, Nintendo's iconic title, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, has smashed sales records and stormed onto the Switch 2 platform like a digital hurricane! Just four days into its launch, the game has shifted an astounding 5.2 million copies, leaving other heavyweight Switch 2 arrivals such as Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokémon Pokopia, and even Mario Kart World in the dust.
Nintendo's festive season blockbuster is proving to be a wise bet, defying the gravitational pull of Grand Theft Auto 6, which is due later this year. The company announced the record-breaking figures today in a triumphant press release, with Zelda outselling even Nintendo's own sales records for the Switch 2 console itself!
First released on the N64 in 1998, Ocarina of Time remains one of the highest-rated and most beloved games of all time. The remake has been met with critical acclaim, and gamers are raving about its updated graphics and gameplay enhancements.
