Briefings

Nintendo reports The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake achieved the UK's second-biggest Zelda launch of all time and the largest physical game launch of 2026. This finding is based on physical sales figures for the title on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform, with a 35 percent launch volume exceeding Breath of the Wild. The data represents a snapshot from November 2026, and while the launch performance is confirmed, specific regional sales figures for other countries remain unverified.

Key points

• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake achieved the UK's second-biggest Zelda launch of all time based on physical sales figures.
• The Ocarina of Time remake launched with a 35 percent higher volume than Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.

Context

This finding comes from Nintendo's official report published on November 8, 2026, detailing the performance of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Limitations
