The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has received critical acclaim from players and the trade press. Contrary to what was feared, the sequel to Breath of the Wild is not just a warmed-up idea, but a real advancement. The quality is reflected in the sales figures.

Quite a few voices even call The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom the better of the two Zelda titles for Nintendo Switch. The success in terms of sales of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom therefore comes as no great surprise. 

Nintendo recently announced that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom had sold over ten million copies around the world within three days of its release. The new Zelda game for Nintendo Switch is thus the fastest-selling game in the Zelda series ever. The monster-collecting games Pokémon Crimson and Crimson had reached similar numbers at the start last year.

Sales of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are also impressive in Japan. More than 2,4 million copies were sold there. With over four million sales in the Americas, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is also the fastest-selling game on the continent there. 

The adventure game about the popular swordsman Link conquered the British charts. According to initial reports, the title is also a bestseller in France with half a million sales. 

The worldwide sales of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom reflect the superior quality of the title, which has received multiple top ratings. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
