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.

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom UK sales milestones

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.
