The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake sold 5.2 million copies worldwide in its first four days on Nintendo Switch 2 — the fastest-selling Nintendo-published title for the console to date. It launched November 5 at $59.99 in the US and Rs 5,999 in India, according to Nintendo’s official announcement cited by gHacks.

No UK or EU pricing was disclosed in the source material. The game is exclusive to Switch 2 and does not run on the original Switch, which has sold over 157 million units but remains incompatible. Switch 2 itself had reached 26.35 million units sold as of September 30, meaning roughly one in five owners bought the remake within four days of release.

That pace outstrips every other first-party Switch 2 title so far, including Mario Kart World and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Hyrule (a separate 2025 prequel). The remake is a full ground-up rebuild of the 1998 Nintendo 64 classic, same story, same time-travel structure, same dungeons, but with new visuals, voice acting, and reworked camera controls.

Nintendo calls it “a perfect entry point into the series” for newcomers, while preserving the pacing and puzzle logic that defined the original. It arrived as part of the broader Zelda 40th Anniversary campaign, which also includes a Zelda-themed Switch 2 console and limited-edition merchandise. Nintendo has not confirmed which other Zelda titles may come to Switch 2, only that more anniversary initiatives, beyond games, are planned.

Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, but will not be on Switch 2 at launch. Nintendo has not released sales data beyond the first four days.
