Ocarina of Time Remake Scores Huge UK Sales Debut

Fans in the UK have shown a massive amount of love for the new Ocarina of Time remake. The title has officially become the second biggest physical launch in the history of the franchise. It is an impressive milestone for a series with such a long and storied legacy.

Retail sales data shows that the game moved 35 percent more physical copies during its first week than Breath of the Wild did at its own launch. The Switch 2 exclusive is clearly hitting all the right notes for players who wanted to return to Hyrule in this updated format.

While this is a major win, the remake did sell about half as many physical units as the current franchise record holder. Still, these early numbers prove that fans are just as excited about classic adventures as they are about new entries. It will be interesting to see how the total sales shift as more players get their hands on the game.
