Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 Tops 5.2 Million Sales in Four Days

OFFICIAL Written by GPN · Nov 11, 2026, 11:18 AM ET · The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time · Gaming

Nintendo says the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time sold more than 5.2 million units worldwide in its first four days on sale, making it the fastest-selling Nintendo-published game on the system so far.

The game launched worldwide on November 5, and Nintendo's internal sales data — covering both digital and physical copies — puts it ahead of every other Nintendo-published Switch 2 title in its opening four days, globally and in the United States, Canada and Latin America.

The release is a full remake of the 1998 Nintendo 64 original, rebuilt with reimagined visuals, orchestral music, voice acting, expanded cutscenes and reworked camera and movement controls. Link's journey across Hyrule and through two eras is presented as a fresh entry point for new players as well as a return for those who played the original.

The launch is part of the Legend of Zelda 40th anniversary celebration, marking four decades since the first game in the series launched in Japan in 1986. The celebration also includes a worldwide concert tour beginning in 2027 and a live-action Legend of Zelda film, which arrives in theaters on April 30, 2027.
