It feels a little like everyone has been playing nothing but The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the last few days, and a first look at its sales figures might explain why it feels that way. 5.2 million copies sold in its first four days, putting it way up there in the Zelda sales rankings before the end of its first week.
In a statement shared by Nintendo (thanks, Wario64), the studio confirmed the Ocarina of Time Remake's massive launch sales, noting that 810,000 of those sales were in Japan.
