If there were any doubts, they will no longer be. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be one of the worst games of the year. Link’s new adventure recorded in the UK best launch in series history.
Kingdom tears too the best start of 2023 in the UKThus, the Switch exclusive surpassed Hogwarts legacy, at least in sales of physical versions. Unfortunately, Nintendo does not do digital sales. This is a big achievement considering that Hogwarts Legacy is out for three platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
Christopher Dring from GamesIndustry told even more interesting facts. Although The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been on the market for only a few days (the game was released on Friday), already the eighth best-selling game of the series in UK history.. It has already outperformed Skyward Sword, The Wind Waker and A Link Between Worlds.
One more thing is interesting. Despite all this, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom does not have the best start in terms of the Nintendo Switch, “moderate” reigns here Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Purple since 2022. Another fact testifies to the success of the new Zelda: 173% more copies were sold in the first week than The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
