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.
We heard yesterday that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom topped the charts in the UK. It’s the country’s biggest boxed release of the year and already eighth biggest Zelda game ever. More information can be found here.
Our next status report will likely come from Japan. Famitsu will report the latest sales numbers by Thursday a the latest.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available on Switch now.
