The adventure game The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has found more than 10 million buyers in the first three days, Nintendo announced.

This puts her on the same level in the ranking of the fastest-selling exclusives in the history of the industry with Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, which also sold 10 million copies in three days.

Sony's record is 5.1 million copies of God of War Ragnarok in the first week.

It also instantly makes The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom the fastest-selling game in The Legend of Zelda series and the second in the franchise with a total circulation of 10 million copies after Breath of the Wild, excluding reissues.

In addition, Nintendo announced that Tears of the Kingdom has officially become the fastest—selling game in its history in the United States - Americans bought more than 4 million copies out of 10 in three days.

In Japan, where before The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, no "Zelda" had sold a million copies since the appearance of Ocarina of Time on Nintendo 64 in 1998, Tears of the Kingdom found a record 2,24 million buyers in three days.

This is one of the most successful launches in the Japanese market of all time — at the level of many parts of Pokemon, Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter.

Since 2017, more than 3.5 million copies of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild have been sold in Japan, and more than 31 million copies have been sold worldwide.

The launch of Tears of the Kingdom can also be safely called the largest in 2023 among all games.

It is known that Hogwarts Legacy sold 12 million copies on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC combined in 2 weeks.
