Ocarina of Time Sells 5.2M Units in Its First Four Days

Less than a week after its November 5 launch, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has already sold over 5.2 million units worldwide on Switch 2, with 810,000 of those coming from Japan. Nintendo says that’s the highest global sales total for any Nintendo-published Switch 2 game in its first four days, including both physical and digital copies. For comparison, Pokémon Pokopia sold 2.2 million units in its first four days back in March, and one million of those were in Japan.

For those who haven’t been following along, this is a full remake of the 1998 Nintendo 64 game that Nintendo first confirmed in June, with Link traveling between two time periods as Young Link and Adult Link. The Switch 2 version adds fully voiced cutscenes, an orchestral score, a free camera controlled with the Right Stick, and dedicated jump and run buttons, along with the Hall of Fallen Foes, a museum-style area where players can take on timed boss rematches. It also supports Zelda Notes in the Nintendo Switch App, and it was one of our top games to play in November 2026.

As we covered last week, Nintendo’s latest earnings report had the Switch 2 at 26.35 million units sold as of September 30, with the company keeping its forecast of 60 million Switch 2 games for the fiscal year ending March 2027. In that same report, Mario Kart World sat at 16.48 million units, while Splatoon Raiders had sold 2.42 million units since its July 23 launch, and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave sold 1.34 million units in its first two weeks.
