The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’s Switch 2 remake sold over 5.2 million copies worldwide in its first four days, Nintendo announced on November 11. The game launched worldwide on November 5, 2026. So much for a quiet nostalgia trip. Source
Nintendo says that’s the highest four-day global sales total for any Nintendo-published Switch 2 game. The figure includes physical and digital versions, with 810,000 copies sold in Japan. The company hasn’t provided a physical-versus-digital breakdown in its announcement. Source
This is a full remake of the Nintendo 64 adventure released in 1998, rather than a rerelease of the original version. Nintendo describes it as featuring “reimagined visuals and enhanced playability” while preserving the original experience. Link still travels between two time periods as Young Link and Adult Link, using different abilities and items in each era to progress. Source
The remake also supports ZELDA NOTES, Nintendo’s gameplay-support service within the Nintendo Switch App for compatible smart devices. It requires a free Nintendo Account, but not a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership. Help for Link, without a subscription side quest. Source
