Another tidbit has been shared about the debut sales for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, this time for France. We’re hearing that the game sold roughly 500,000 copies in its first week. Keep in mind that’s only based on physical – Nintendo doesn’t report digital data.
Putting Zelda’s sales into perspective, it sold more than Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet did at release. It also outperformed the launches of Red Dead Redemption II and the latest FIFAs, which have been popular in the region.

UK: Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom biggest boxed release of the year, already eighth biggest Zelda game ever
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Some initial tidbits have surfaced about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s sales performance in the UK, and the game is off to what sounds like a fantastic start.
Tears of the Kingdom is already the eighth biggest Zelda game of all time having already outsold Skyward Sword, The Wind Waker, and A Link Between Worlds. Note that this is based purely on boxed sales – digital data from Nintendo is not reported. Had digital been factored in, the debut for Tears of the Kingdom could be even higher.
