Tears of the Kingdom is already the fastest-selling Zelda game

What kind of tears does the kingdom shed? Good luck, if you’re Nintendo.

In just three days, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has sold more than ten million copies worldwide, making it the fastest-selling game in the Legend of Zelda franchise, Nintendo announced.

If this dizzying pace continues, Tears of the Kingdom will be on track to join the pantheon of best selling Nintendo Switch games short-term. It’s almost halfway Pokémon Scarlet And purple‘s 22.1 million units, and if it performs at least as well as its predecessor (and fourth best-selling Switch game) The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild‘s 29.81 million units, then two Zelda games will round out the Switch’s top five – in addition to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New HorizonsAnd Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

How high do you want Tears of the Kingdom to go? Will it soar to even greater heights? Rocket up to the Sky Archipelago of Sales? With the number of people currently handing over Nintendo cash, it seems likely.
