Ever since the Nintendo Switch 2 launched, players have wondered which title would truly put the new hardware through its paces. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time answers that question in spectacular fashion—selling more than 5.2 million copies worldwide (including 810,000 in Japan) in just its first four days, the strongest opening of any Nintendo-published Switch 2 game so far.
It’s an impressive achievement. Released worldwide on November 5, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was one of the most anticipated games in recent years (aside from Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 6) and has launched to strong critical acclaim and excellent audience scores. This full remake of the 1998 Nintendo 64 classic forms a centerpiece of the franchise’s 40th anniversary celebrations, marking four decades since the original The Legend of Zelda debuted on the Famicom on February 21, 1986 (and arrived in North America and Europe the following year).
