Zelda: Ocarina of Time Is Already the Second-Best-Selling Switch 2 Game

The remake sold 5.2 million copies in 4 days, eclipsing Donkey Kong Bananza

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the fastest-selling Switch 2 game yet. On Wednesday, Nintendo announced that the remake of the 1998 classic sold more than 5.2 million copies worldwide in its first four days on sale — "the highest global sales for any Nintendo-published Nintendo Switch 2 game in its first four days."

This also means that Ocarina of Time is likely already the second-best-selling Switch 2 game, period. Mario Kart World has sold over 16 million copies, but according to Nintendo's most recent financial figures, its second-best-selling title through the end of September was Donkey Kong Bananza, with 5.05 million copies sold.

Nintendo only publishes sales figures for its own titles; it's possible that a third-party game has sold more than Ocarina and Bananza, although it's hard to imagine what that might be.

Ocarina of Time is only Nintendo's second-biggest hit of 2026 so far, though. Tomodachi Life, for the original Switch, remains the champ for now with an amazing 8.8 million copies sold. Even so, Ocarina will likely eclipse it before the end of the year.

After a somewhat controversial reveal, due to its radically different art style, Ocarina of Time has been met with widespread critical acclaim and looks like a strong awards contender, too.
