Now Playing: The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Video Review
Tears of the Kingdom’s launch week sales are already 50% more than Hogwarts Legacy, and has sold nearly 3 times as many copies as Breath of the Wild in its first week on the market. Keep in mind, these stats only take boxed copies into consideration, as Nintendo doesn’t share digital sales data.
According to GfK, Tears of the Kingdom is already the eighth-best-selling Zelda game ever in the UK, which is noteworthy since it’s been out less than a week. It already outsold Skyward Sword and The Wind Waker in a matter of days in that territory.
