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.
