Ocarina of Time remake tops 5.2 million sales in four days
Nintendo says the remake has become its fastest-selling Switch 2 release worldwide among games it publishes.
Nintendo said worldwide sales of its remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time exceeded 5.2 million copies during its first four days on sale. Released November 5 exclusively for Switch 2, it set a global sales-speed record for Nintendo-published games on the console, according to the company.
The remake gives the 1998 Nintendo 64 game new graphics and changes several gameplay features. Those updates include more dialogue for non-player characters, revised camera controls and a separate button for jumping.
Nintendo first revealed the project in a June Direct presentation. A preview lasting 15 minutes followed in early September, ahead of the November launch.
The game is available only on Nintendo's newer console, which launched across most regions on June 5, 2025. Switch 2 hardware sales stood at 26.35 million units as of September 30. By comparison, sales of the original Switch have reached just over 157 million units.
