Tears of the Kingdom is now the UK’s sixth best-selling Zelda game of all time

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has become the UK’s sixth best-selling boxed Zelda game after just two weeks.

According to GamesIndustry.biz, physical sales of the game have now overtaken those of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for Switch and Ocarina of Time 3D for 3DS.

After enjoying the biggest boxed launch of the year, sales were down 73% in the game’s second week, but Tears of the Kingdom still topped the latest software chart ahead of FIFA 23 and Hogwarts Legacy.

Lego 2K Drive was the only new chart entry at No.7, one place ahead of Tears of the Kingdom’s predecessor, Breath of the Wild.

Tears of the Kingdom was released on May 12 and sold 10 million copies worldwide in its first three days, according to Nintendo.

That made it the fastest-selling game in the history of the series and the fastest-selling Nintendo game for any system in Europe and the Americas.

The Zelda franchise has now sold over 130 million units since launching in 1986, according to Nintendo.
