GSD data provides a look at the best-selling games across Europe in September 2024. It’s based on data for all physical game releases in major markets plus digital game sales from most major publishers.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, which was a new release at the very end of the month, lands at #8. As usual, no physical sales are included, which could have put the game higher. With that said, Echoes of Wisdom’s sales are 15 percent lower that of the Link’s Awakening remake in 2019.
