Zelda: Ocarina of Time Tops 5.2 Million Copies on Switch 2

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time sold more than 5.2 million copies worldwide in its first four days on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo said on Wednesday. Japan accounted for 810,000 of those sales. Nintendo counts both packaged and digital copies in that figure, such as a physical edition and a Nintendo eShop download. The company says the total is the highest four-day result for any first-party Switch 2 game, meaning a title Nintendo publishes itself.

The remake launched worldwide on November 5, 2026. ZELDA NOTES is the companion service inside the Nintendo Switch App, and Nintendo says its features help during gameplay. Nintendo rebuilt the 1998 Nintendo 64 game for Switch 2, with Link moving between a child and an adult version of Hyrule and the graphics redone for the new hardware.

Nintendo’s sales release did not break out any other region or say when it would publish the next update.
