Battle of Switch exclusives: the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild took 20 million and surpassed Super Mario Odyssey in sales

Adventure game sales The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, set the record for the most 10 out of 10 ratings on Metacritic in 2017, crossed the mark in 20 million copies… This is evidenced by official figures from Nintendo.

The Nintendo Switch version of the game has sold as of June 30, 2023 in a print run of 18.60 million copies (+1.19 million in the first quarter). The release circulation for Wii U at the end of 2018 was 1.67 million copies. Total sales – ~ 20.27 million copies

This is a whole new level for a franchise. Before The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, no part of the series had sold more than 10 million copies (excluding re-releases and remasters), and there was no need to talk about 20 million.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild also began to bypass overall sales Super mario odyssey is another Nintendo flagship hit for Switch. On June 30, it was sold in circulation in 18.06 million copies (+650 thousand per quarter), which is also a record for a series of 3D platformers, but “Mario” for the first time is inferior to “Zelda” within one generation
