The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Is The Biggest Boxed Launch Of The Year

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the highest-selling boxed launch of the year.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Is The Biggest Boxed Launch Of The Year

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is one of the most heavily-anticipated games of the decade, and it turns out that all that anticipation has paid off in sales.

In the UK, and after just two days, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is already the eighth biggest Zelda game of all time. It's already outsold Skyward Sword, The Wind Waker and A Link Between Worlds. This is based on boxed sales alone. (GfK figures)

Figures shared by GamesIndustry.biz's Christopher Dring show that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom sold 54% higher than Hogwarts Legacy. It's also the fourth biggest Zelda game ever in terms of UK revenue, and the eighth biggest Zelda game of all time, outselling Skyward Sword, The Wind Waker, and A Link Between Worlds.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is also a Switch-exclusive title, making this even more impressive a feat. The precursor to this title, Breath of the Wild, also sold incredibly well and was critically lauded, so perhaps this was to be expected, but it doesn't make the feat any less impressive.
