Nintendo is celebrating another massive success. The remake of the legendary The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, released exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5, 2026, has sold more than 5.2 million copies in its first four days. The company officially confirmed the record-breaking figures in a press release.
The game has become the fastest-selling Nintendo-published Switch 2 title based on sales during its first four days. It has surpassed the launch performances of major releases such as Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokémon Pokopia and Mario Kart World, which launched alongside the console in 2025.
Originally released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, Ocarina of Time remains one of the most acclaimed video games of all time. The new remake features completely redesigned graphics, modernized controls and additional gameplay improvements while preserving the original story and Link's adventure across Hyrule.
The release is also a key part of Nintendo's holiday lineup this year. It arrives just two weeks before the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI, which launches on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is available now exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2. Its record-breaking launch proves that enthusiasm for the return of one of gaming's most iconic adventures remains stronger than ever.
