Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 6 Comments
Zelda: Breath of the Wild has done remarkably well in Japan. It’s the second-highest-selling Zelda game in Japan since Ocarina of Time, which released in 1998. All other entries that have released over the past 18 years have been outsold.
Since launch, Zelda: Breath of the Wild has sold 957,752 copies at retail. If digital sales were counted, the total amount is certainly over one million. The latest Wii U figures are also not counted here.
