The release of the updated The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2 continues to surpass even the boldest expectations of analysts and Nintendo itself. New physical sales data from France demonstrates colossal demand for the game.
Absolute Triumph in France
According to reports from French gaming journalist and analyst Oscar Lemaire, physical release sales of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in France reached an impressive 250,000 copies during the launch period alone. This figure is nearly three times higher than the physical sales of the recent hit Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.
Key Achievements of the Release:
- The biggest physical video game launch in France since the release of EA SPORTS FC 25 in 2024;
- The most successful sales week for the Switch 2 console in the US for all of 2026;
- The biggest physical media launch in the UK for 2026;
- Mass shortages of Switch 2 consoles in many countries around the world amid the game's release.
In the coming days, the first sales data from Japan is expected, followed by detailed figures for the US market. Everything points to Ocarina of Time on Switch 2 setting many more new records.
