Ocarina of Time remake sets Switch 2 sales record with 5,2 million copies
Nintendo's remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has sold 5.2 million copies in its first four days on the Nintendo Switch 2, according to reported figures.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has set a sales record on the Nintendo Switch 2, with reported sales of 5.2 million copies. The remake, published by Nintendo, launched on November 5, and the figure covers its first four days on the platform.
The milestone was reported by Consequence in a report dated November 11, which said the remake had been anticipated more than Grand Theft Auto VI. Variety also reported the 5.2 million figure as the total sold in the game's opening four days. Both outlets rely on the same number, and neither report presents it as independently verified. The Consequence piece was available only as a teaser, so the full details of its reporting could not be checked beyond the headline claims.
It remains unclear whether the 5.2 million figure has been confirmed directly by Nintendo or was passed along secondhand. Neither report makes clear how sales have developed since the first four days, so the total for the game's wider run on the console is not yet known. Until a company statement or further data is published, the figure should be treated as reported rather than official.
The remake arrives as the Switch 2 continues to build its library of first-party titles. Ocarina of Time, first released in 1998 on the Nintendo 64, is widely regarded as one of the most influential games in the Zelda series, and a remake of it on new hardware draws on a long-standing fan base. The reported opening figures suggest strong demand for the franchise on the newer console, though the numbers will need further confirmation before they can be treated as a definitive measure of the game's performance.
