The Zelda Series: Tears of the Realm has turned into the Zelda establishment's quickest-selling game. In the three days following its release on May 12, the game, according to Nintendo, sold 10 million copies worldwide. To give you an idea of where that ranks among the best games for the Switch, Mario Kart 8 has sold 53 million copies and Breath of the Wild has sold almost 30 million copies in its six-year lifespan.
In summary, in just three days, Tears of the Kingdom has sold a third of its predecessor's copies and 20% of the best-selling Switch game ever.
This game, which is being sold on hardware that is six years old and is locked at a meager 30 frames per second, mostly takes place in a place that players have seen and explored before. Sure, Nintendo is Nintendo, and the company possesses the kind of "magic" that other publishers attempt to duplicate but cannot. However, numbers like these over such a brief period of time ought to indicate how players will respond to extremely well-executed simple premises. It's also available to play alone! There was no battle pass in sight!
Nintendo is racking up dubs this year, with the Mario movie making a smooth billion and the opening of Super Nintendo World in Los Angeles, following the out-of-the-gate success of Tears of the Kingdom. The truth will come out at some point in the event that Tears of the Realm will unseat Mario Kart 8 as the Switch's top-of-the-line game, however, I don't think we'll need to stand by long to see.
