Tears of the Kingdom Reaches 19.5 Million Sales

Along with updating its hardware numbers for the quarter ending September 30th, Nintendo also revealed its top ten best-selling titles for the same period. The usual suspects are present, but most noteworthy is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which has sold 19.5 million units since launching in May. Its last sales milestone was 18.5 million units sold as of June 30th.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has sold 31.15 million units in its lifetime. It launched in March 2017, so essentially, the sequel has already achieved over 50 percent of the first game’s total sales within its first four months.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for Nintendo Switch. Check out our review here, where we awarded it a 10 out of 10. It’s one of the best-rated titles of the year and a contender for Game of the Year. Unlike the first game, Nintendo has no plans for DLC.
