Nintendo has announced that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake has sold more than 5.2 million units worldwide during its first four days on sale for Nintendo Switch 2. The impressive launch makes it the fastest-selling Nintendo-published Switch 2 game based on its global sales during the same initial period.
According to Nintendo’s press release published on November 11, 2026, the remake recorded more than 5.2 million units sold between its worldwide launch on November 5 and the following four days. Japan accounted for approximately 810,000 copies, while the overall figure includes both physical and digital sales.
A Full Remake of the Classic Nintendo 64 Adventure
Originally released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time returns in a fully remade version developed specifically for Nintendo Switch 2.
The remake retains the original adventure, following Link as he travels between two different periods in time as Young Link and Adult Link. Each version features different abilities and items, which players must use to overcome obstacles and progress through the story.
The new edition introduces reimagined visuals and improved gameplay while preserving the core experience that made the original title memorable. It also supports ZELDA NOTES, a service available through the Nintendo Switch App on compatible smart devices, offering additional features designed to assist players during their adventure.
Ocarina of Time Remake Surpasses Donkey Kong Bananza’s Sales
The new sales milestone also places the remake ahead of Donkey Kong Bananza, which had recorded 5.05 million copies sold according to Nintendo’s previously reported figures.
For comparison, Nintendo’s lifetime sales figures through September 30, 2026, placed Mario Kart World at the top with 16.48 million copies, followed by Donkey Kong Bananza.
However, these figures cover different reporting periods. The Ocarina of Time remake’s 5.2 million sales represent only its first four days, while the figures for the other two titles reflect their cumulative sales through September 30.
With more than 5.2 million copies sold in its opening days, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake has delivered a remarkable launch for Nintendo Switch 2. Its performance also demonstrates the continued appeal of one of Nintendo’s most recognizable adventure titles to both longtime fans and a new generation of players.
