'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' Sells Over 5.2 Million Units Worldwide In First Four Days

Journey through the land of Hyrule in this classic installment in the Zelda universe, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Invites you to put yourself at the center of an epic adventure as you join Link on a journey of growth and discovery through the kingdom of Hyrule. Together with a guiding fairy named Navi, you’ll encounter lively characters, battle ferocious monsters and use cunning to overcome obstacles in search of the mythical Triforce — and to save Hyrule from falling into darkness!

The key to this adventure lies with the ocarina, with its powerful melodies that are able to stir space and time and lead Link toward a new destiny. In this completely reborn version of the game, you’ll be able to bring some of the ocarina magic into your real world. Hum a melody Link has learned or even play one on an actual instrument, and the Nintendo Switch 2 microphone will hear your song and cause Link’s ocarina in the game to respond! This reborn version also introduces the Hall of Fallen Heroes, a place where statues of defeated monsters reside. Venture there to learn about them or engage them in a rematch battle!

This new version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time also features overhauled visuals, fully voiced cutscenes with expanded dialogue, and full symphonic orchestral music!

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original Legend of Zelda game with this immersive adventure where you can be introduced — or reintroduced — to this magical world and become the Hero of Time to save Hyrule from the forces of darkness!

Adventure awaits!

In the first four days following its global launch on Nov. 5, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time game for the Nintendo Switch 2 sold over 5.2 million units worldwide, making it the fastest-selling Nintendo-published Nintendo Switch 2 game globally and in the U.S., Canada and Latin America.

The release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is part of the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary celebration, which marks four decades since the first game in the series launched in Japan in 1986. The celebration also features other games and products, a worldwide concert tour beginning in 2027 that celebrates music from the series and The Legend of Zelda live-action film, coming to theaters on April 30, 2027.

The game also supports ZELDA NOTES, a service available within the Nintendo Switch App1 for compatible smart devices that allows you to get even more out of your adventure. There will also be two new The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time amiibo2 figures launching in 2027, which unlock special in-game masks — existing amiibo figures from the Legend of Zelda series will also provide useful rewards when tapped during gameplay!

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is available for Nintendo Switch 2.

1 Nintendo Account, persistent internet and compatible smart device required. Data charges may apply.

2 amiibo sold separately. Visit amiibo.com for details on amiibo functionality.
