The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is breaking records in the UK, as it's the biggest Zelda launch ever, and the biggest boxed release of the year.
Tears of the Kingdom being one of the biggest games of the year was an inevitability; Breath of the Wild is one of the most critically acclaimed games ever, and video games are doing better than ever. But now, thanks to GamesIndustry.biz, we know just how big its release was. For one, it's the biggest boxed release of the year, sitting 54% higher than the previous biggest release - though how good sales are overall, we don't know, as Nintendo doesn't share digital sales. Though as noted by GamesIndustry.biz, digital sales are generally much lower than other platforms, so it's unclear how much better it has done.
Not only that, but it's the biggest Zelda launch in the series history, with 2.7 times more sales than Breath of the Wild's launch back in 2017. Breath of the Wild was previously the biggest week one physical release, but Tears of the Kingdom has taken that slot, putting the former in second place, and The Wind Waker in third.
