The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending September 28, 2024 is now available, and it includes the debut for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
The Switch exclusive came in at #2 for its first appearance – and remember, Nintendo does not report digital sales. Compared to the Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake, sales were 14 percent lower. Again, this is strictly based on physical sales.
