The wonderful The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for the Nintendo Switch 2 is finally available to purchase globally and many of you are presumably engrossed in the game. We now have physical sales data from the biggest gaming market in Europe, the United Kingdom, and while The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is No.1 and sold 33% more copies than The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at launch, its sales were dwarfed by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is now currently the second best-selling Zelda game ever in the UK and the biggest physical game launch this year (so far).
UK: Zelda Ocarina of Time Switch 2 sold 33% more physical copies than Breath of Wild launch, but less than half of Tears of Kingdom
I remember Tears of the kingdoms Launch, I got out of work that day at 3 and darted to target. I was able to get one of the last copies in stock, and some of my coworkers were right behind me to get the last copies they had.
Makes total sense. BOTW was a launch game for a new console, so small install base on release, TOTK came out 6 years into the Switch which by that point had a huge install base and OOT has come out within a year and a half of the Switch 2 launch.
Makes perfect sense because I have played both games and sold Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom after finishing the story.
I find it baffling that people sell their games or trade their games after finishing, I don’t, I keep them because I’m a collector and I may end up replaying a game. This isn’t me saying everyone should keep their games or gatekeep, everyone has the right to do what they want with their games, I’m just saying I don’t understand why people do it but it’s none of my concern otherwise. That being said, I’m not surprised by the sales.
because you lack the ability to think as others do.
They sell it for money to buy new games to play. Or just to pay the bills when they are in a tight spot.
Imagine giving your kids the Karl Marx special for Christmas.
What is the Karl Marx special u ask? Why it is a digital gift that u dont own and get to be happy with because communists want u to own nothing and be happy. If u think that is bad u should see what the Karl Marx special is when it comes to food (nothing on the plate).
Physical is the only way!
HAHAHA if you want to bring politics into this at least know what you are talking about.
Marx’s core argument is that workers should collectively own the means of production.
Companies like Nintendo or Sony use digital rights management to protect their private intellectual property and maximize profits. Blaming Marx for a corporate profit model gets the economic system backward.

U are welcome to try again what has never worked. Tell me fren why arent people running to communist nations if it is so awesome. Wouldnt those nations be overwhelmed with people trying to get in? We all know why cause communisms dont work and it is death.
Imagine being this delusional that you compare digital games to communism.
Think you are ready for a new home, one where they all wear a white jacket that closes from the backside
actually, a subversive medium that eliminates property management at ever increasing cost is almost dollar for dollar communism
I am tired. Property ownership**
Okay, Sickr, good headline. About time.
