Ocarina of Time sells 5.2 million copies on Switch 2 in 4 days

Nintendo says it is the fastest start for one of its own Switch 2 games, Latin America included. The figure comes from the company, with no outside check.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time sold more than 5.2 million units worldwide in its first four days on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo said. The game launched globally on Nov. 5.

The tally combines physical and digital copies and comes from the company's internal sales data. On that basis, Nintendo calls it the fastest-starting Switch 2 game it has published itself, worldwide and in the United States, Canada and Latin America.

There are two caveats. The comparison covers only Switch 2 titles Nintendo publishes, and the company does not break sales down by region or by physical and digital. No independent tracker such as Circana has confirmed the number.

The remake of a 1998 classic costs $59.99 in the United States. Nintendo has not posted a price in Mexican pesos.

Latin America is named outright among the regions where the game set the record, though Nintendo gives no figure for it.
