Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom sells 10 million copies in three days
“The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom had become the fastest-selling Zelda game so far, it said.
For comparison, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – the highest-rated game on gaming-aggregator Metacritic – sold 7.4 million copies over its entire run.
Tears of the Kingdom was released as a Nintendo Switch exclusive on Friday.
And it has already sold more copies than any other Zelda game except Breath of the Wild, to which it is a sequel.”
This is incredible but not a surprise at all as it was extremely hyped up for a long time! We personally think it’s an amazing game and deserves all the recognition it’s getting. What do you think?
