Nintendo announced that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2 sold over 5.2 million units worldwide in the first four days following its launch on November 5, 2026. The figure includes 810,000 units sold in Japan.
Nintendo described the result as the highest global sales for any Nintendo-published Nintendo Switch 2 game in its first four days. The company said the total includes both physical and digital sales, and that other tracking companies may report lower numbers because Nintendo does not provide digital sales data.
The remake is a full remake of the game originally released for Nintendo 64 in 1998. It was released worldwide on November 5 for Nintendo Switch 2 and features reimagined visuals and enhanced playability while preserving the experience of the original game. The game also supports ZELDA NOTES, a service available within the Nintendo Switch App for compatible smart devices.
The sales figure gives Nintendo a strong early performance for a Switch 2 exclusive. Nintendo Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Kyoto, Minami-ku, Japan, with Shuntaro Furukawa as President and Representative Director.
