Marking 40 years since The Legend of Zelda was first released in Japan, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2 has sold over 5.2 million units worldwide in the first four days.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the second biggest Zelda launch of all time (physical sales only) in the UK and the biggest physical game launch of 2026 in the UK. It beat out Resident Evil, Call of Duty, EA Sports FC, and more.
When Rockstar Games announced Grand Theft Auto VI is digital-only, the halcyon days of midnight launches seemed a distant memory. However, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo Switch 2 proved there's still a community of gamers (myself included) who want physical releases.
After reporting on the midnight launch, I wish I'd attended a retail launch with friends. However, I'm looking forward to the live-action movie next year.
