Ocarina of Time Remake Sells 5.2 Million Units, Nintendo Says

Nintendo says its remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has sold 5.2 million units. The total runs to the end of November 9, 2026, and counts physical and digital copies together.

The game came out on November 5, 2026, and it is available only on the Nintendo Switch 2. A remake is a new version of an older game, rebuilt for newer hardware. The original Ocarina of Time appeared on the Nintendo 64 in 1998 and is widely regarded as one of the series' landmark titles.

Nintendo also says the remake is the fastest-selling first-party Switch 2 game so far. "First-party" means a game made or published by Nintendo itself, rather than by an outside studio. That puts it ahead of every other Nintendo-made title on the console to date, according to the company.

The new figure also puts the remake past two earlier entries in the Zelda series. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds sold 4.26 million copies. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom sold 4.09 million after seven months on sale. Nintendo's figures for both were reported as the totals at those points.

The company has not said how the copies split between physical boxes and downloads. For players, the headline is simple. A game that is more than two decades old has found a large new audience on a console that launched in 2025.

The 5.2 million total is the figure the company gave for sales up to the close of November 9.
