The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Sells 5.2 Million Copies in Four Days, Sets Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Record

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has sold more than 5.2 million copies worldwide within its first four days, setting a new sales record for Nintendo-published games on the Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo announced the milestone on November 11, 2026, following the remake’s worldwide launch on November 5.

According to the company’s official announcement, the sales figure includes both physical and digital copies. Japan accounted for 810,000 units, while the remaining sales came from international markets. This makes the remake the fastest-selling Nintendo-published Switch 2 title during its first four days.

Ocarina of Time Remake Brings Back Link’s Classic Adventure With Modern Features

The Switch 2 version reimagines the 1998 Nintendo 64 classic while retaining its central time-travel adventure. Players once again control Link as he moves between his childhood and adult years, using different abilities and items from each period to solve puzzles and progress through Hyrule.

Nintendo has also introduced updated visuals, improved gameplay features, and support for ZELDA NOTES through the Nintendo Switch App. The companion service provides additional features to assist players during their adventure.

The remake originally debuted on Nintendo 64 in 1998 and is widely regarded as one of the most influential entries in the Zelda franchise. Its Switch 2 release is part of Nintendo’s 40th-anniversary celebrations for the series.

Although Ocarina of Time has established a new four-day sales record among Nintendo-published Switch 2 games, it has not surpassed every major release on the platform. Mario Kart World remains the only Switch 2 title that has sold more copies, according to the supplied sales comparison.

Nintendo’s announcement does not provide a breakdown of sales by individual international markets beyond Japan. More information about the game’s US performance could emerge through Circana’s November 2026 sales report, scheduled for December 17.
