Nintendo shares the worldwide sales of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake
- Thread starter Ico
- Start date
Nintendo
What? BOTW has sold 35m copies. On 155m Switch 1s so it's an attach rate of about 22%.
They meant at launch. BotW had an over 100% attach rate at launch in the US:
I don't recall the worldwide numbers, but that over 100% attach rate was one hilarious piece of data that sales folks talk about every once in a while.
Yeah I know it had a >100% attach rate at launch but I was talking about the general attach rate for these games, which seems to be around the 20% mark. OOT Remake reaching that shows that it wasn't just limited to (full) open-world Zelda games like some people thought it would be. Which is exciting because it means Nintendo can create a more traditional Zelda experience and not necessarily have to worry about sales compared to doing an open world style game.
It's always interesting to see how well Zelda games perform worldwide, especially a classic like Ocarina of Time. I still remember how impressive the original felt, with its incredible atmosphere, memorable music, and amazing sense of adventure. Even today, it remains one of my favorite Nintendo games. A remake could introduce this legendary experience to an entirely new generation of players. I'd love to see updated graphics and smoother controls while keeping the original charm intact. Hopefully, Nintendo understands how much this game means to longtime fans like me.
You literally said in the other thread that it might match TOTK launch sales because this one is the “best game of all time” and it didn’t.
He really thinks people will suddenly forget about and stop recommending BOTW/TOTK because OOT is out now. Many people are still going to prefer the former two regardless of how good this one is. OOT will grow in sales but so will the other games lol. Stuff has gotten to his head as usual.
Even 10 million is a smash hit for a remake.. unsure why he's hellbent on 20 million.
Bro is out here talking about it's legs extending onto a console thats 7+ years out.
Almost as good as wolverine
That was over 100%

smash hit
Your first read was correct, I think the second part is incorrect. People will play and recommend OOT so it's likely gonna be an evergreen. As NS2 sales grow and reach 100m+ 20% of that means 20m lifetime should be a lock. Then Switch 3 comes out and it can receive a free upgrade and sales might grow a few million.
It’s not going to outsell TOTK but okay. It’s obviously going to be evergreen. Nobody argued against that.

Wrong franchise, this is Zelda they're on about.

Predicting 20 million is just... lol
