The The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake made a strong debut in Japan, selling 537,041 physical copies during its first week on Nintendo Switch 2. The figures come from Famitsu’s latest Japanese retail sales report, published on November 12, 2026.
Nintendo had previously announced that the remake had sold 810,000 copies in Japan. Comparing that figure with Famitsu’s physical sales data suggests that approximately 273,000 copies were purchased digitally. This puts the remake’s combined Japanese sales at more than 800,000 units shortly after launch.
The release comfortably topped the weekly software chart, with Nintendo Switch Sports Resort placing second at 16,621 copies. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade Complete Edition debuted with 8,042 physical sales on Switch 2.

Nintendo Switch 2 also led the hardware rankings, selling 53,104 units during the same week. Its cumulative Japanese sales have now reached 6,574,456 units.
The remake’s debut highlights the continued demand for Nintendo’s classic franchises on its latest console.
Nintendo’s November 11 announcement also confirmed that the remake sold more than 5.2 million copies worldwide in its first four days, including 810,000 in Japan. Nintendo described this as the highest four-day global sales total for any Nintendo-published Switch 2 game.
