The Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has sold more than 5.2 million copies worldwide in its first four days. The original launched on Nintendo 64 in 1998 as the series’ first 3D game. This Switch 2 version, released simultaneously worldwide on November 5, is a remake of the original.
Nintendo announced the figure on November 11. Among Switch 2 games published by Nintendo, that is the highest worldwide total for a first four days. The 5.2 million combines physical and digital copies. It is a single-player game exclusive to Switch 2.
The remake overhauls the visuals, and the cutscenes are fully voiced. The camera can now move freely, and jumping and dashing have been added.
You play as Link, the Hero of Time. To stop Ganondorf, who is after the Triforce, you travel to places such as Kokiri Forest and Goron City. You move back and forth between childhood and adulthood, and the abilities and items you can use differ in each.
You can play the ocarina with the buttons, by humming, or by playing your own instrument into the microphone. Songs can open new paths or turn day into night.
A song that opens a path can be hummed or played on an instrument you have on hand, so moving forward looks likely to become a performance of your own. With the free camera, jumping and dashing added, even players who know the 1998 version seem likely to travel through the same places with different moves.
