GamesIndustry has shared a listing of the best-selling games in the UK for the month of June 2017. Have a look at the full results below.

GamesIndustry notes that “you could sell under 5,000 units to break the Top 50 this week, and you only needed a little more than 21,000 copies sold to reach the Top Ten.” Also, Switch accounted for 5.7 percent of games sold last month. With the system’s small install base, that number does make sense.

At Japan Expo this week, GameReactor caught up with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma. The discussion included talk about Breath of the Wild and Zelda in general.

Regarding Breath of the Wild, Aonuma reflected on the game’s reaction and those who say that the final boss was too easy. He also spoke in (very) vague terms about the next main Zelda – wanting to include HD Rumble, but it’s a long way off. Also, Aonuma basically said that Link is ambidextrous.

We’ve included what we feel are the more notable comments from Aonuma below. The full interview is on GameReactor here.
