"The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake" Becomes the UK's Top-Selling Physical Launch Title of the Year

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake has become the highest-selling physical game at launch in the UK so far in 2026. Its initial physical sales also set the second-largest launch record for The Legend of Zelda series in the UK, trailing only The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Compared to other titles in the series, this game's first-week physical sales were 35% higher than those of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but its initial sales were roughly half those of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. These figures cover UK physical copies only and do not include digital sales or sales in other regions.

In terms of physical game launch performance in the UK in 2026, this title surpassed同期 releases such as EA SPORTS FC, Call of Duty, and Resident Evil: Requiem. The release of GTA 6 may reshuffle these rankings, but for now, that remains an anticipated outcome yet to occur.

The Legend of Zelda series is currently celebrating its 40th anniversary, with two new amiibo figures planned for release in 2027.
