Everyone anticipated that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was going to be a hit, but nobody thought it would become massive so fast. Only three days have been enough for it to surpass 10 million copies sold worldwide on Nintendo Switch, which gets it very close to the numbers achieved by Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. The fastest-selling game in the franchise is just one of the milestones that the game has reached with that number but it still has a long way ahead. If we take into account that Breath of the Wild sold almost 30 million copies over six years, we could be looking at one of the top sellers in the story of the Japanese company.
That number is even more impressive than it looks because The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is exclusive to Nintendo Switch consoles. Therefore, Link's latest adventure leaves far behind many other triple-A titles that have been released this year across multiple platforms. The possibilities that the game offers to the players with its new gameplay systems are one of the keys to its huge popularity as Link can do things in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that he was never able to do before in the series.
