Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake sales numbers – how much money has it made?

Nintendo is maybe the only company that could compete with GTA 6, but how many copies has the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake sold?

It has launched to critical acclaim, getting five stars from us and racking up a 96/100 on Metacritic, as well as 9.6/10 from players.

So, it's clear to see that it's been a massive critical success, but what about a commercial one?

Here's what you need to know about the Ocarina of Time remake sales numbers.

The Switch 2 Ocarina of Time remake has sold 5.2 million copies worldwide as of 9 November 2026, as confirmed by Nintendo.

In nominal terms, at £50 per copy, that's a phenomenal £260m in revenue for the game.

Breaching the 5 million mark in only four days, this makes it the fastest-selling first-party Switch 2 game yet, and likely the fastest-selling Switch 2 title overall, though the latter hasn't been officially confirmed.

The total figure includes both physical and digital sales, and Nintendo notes that 810,000 of the total units were sold in Japan.

For comparison, while it's still got a way to go to beat the 7.6m copies that the original Nintendo 64 version sold, it seems likely that it will beat it in the days and weeks to come.

It's already beaten plenty of other games in the Zelda series, however, including 2024's Echoes of Wisdom (4.09m), the original Majora's Mask (3.36m), original Wind Waker (4.43m), and original Skyward Sword (3.67m).

That being said, it falls well short of the biggest games in the series, and as good as it is, we'd be surprised if it ever reaches the sales of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, which have sold a whopping 36m and 22.9m copies respectively, but anything is possible!
