In honor of the recent influx of Zelda threads, here's yet another, of a different Zelda topic nonetheless.

Classic thread with nice graphs and what not, I was originally going to make one about worldwide sales, but I didn't.

So, sales data of nearly all Zelda games released in Japan.

Graphs, due to the high number of titles, there are two graphs instead of one, for console and handheld games respectively.

NOTE: I know Link's Awakening is missing from this one, by the time I noticed it was already done and I didn't felt like fixing it.

The Wind Waker HD was such a giant bomb. Almost as bad as the website.

And that's the shipped number, when I know that there won't be any more updates for the number of units sold and there's shipped data I just use that one.

The last sold through number for WWHD that Famitsu gave was less than half of what its up there.

Looks like Link`s Awakening DX is not very happy with its sales xD "DX" - looks like an unhappy face to me. How the hell did Zelda 2 sell so well also o_O It`s one of the most hated Zelda games...

Dance my pretties!

Very nice!

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

The last sold through number for WWHD that Famitsu gave was less than half of what its up there.

Shipped data would include digital sales. I assume WWHD was mentioned as a million seller in Nintendo's financial report and they usually have a regional breakdown. The only other possible source for shipped data would be a news piece on a blog about initial shipments.

I don't believe they had a regional breakdown that time. But it was at 1.26M globally last April.
