The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom has no shortage of accomplishments. Following incredible critical scores, the title went on to achieve over 10 million sales within the first three days.

This also made it the fastest-selling game of the series. However, Nintendo’s latest financial report confirms Tears of The Kingdom has not lost its sales momentum just yet. The game has sold over 18.5 million units.

Why it matters: 2023 has been an incredible year for gaming, but this has also led to plenty of competition for developers and publishers. Despite the competition, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom appears to be doing extremely well.

The latest update makes it the 9th best-selling Nintendo Switch title.

Following an impressive run, the game is on track to achieve similar success to its predecessor. Nintendo’s latest report confirms The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild has sold over 30.6 million copies.

With similar reception and an equally compelling release, Tears of The Kingdom will likely reach similar numbers in the coming years.

The latest iteration of the Zelda franchise has also garnered praise from developers for its ambitions on the limited Nintendo Switch hardware. Mechanics like Ultrahand and Fuse have proven to be astonishing, with many developers being shocked at the seamless implementation of these features.

Recent rumors have also hinted at a potential adaptation of the IP for the big screen. Following the success of Mario, Nintendo is reported to be in early talks for a similar movie based on the Zelda franchise.
