Wind Waker bombed apparently. Well, that's what you get for ignoring the fan base and remaking the most controversial Zelda of all times. There's a clear pattern where "realistic", combat focused Zelda games sell more than cell shaded Zelda's. I wonder if Nintendo will get the hint this time.

You realize these are Japanese sales rankings, right?

Wind Waker outsold Twilight Princess on one-third the install base.

God, I made a critical post about Zelda sales and you guys are all over it I think Nintendo's point in remaking Wind Waker was that cell shaded Zelda's sell well in Japan. So they ignored the rest of the world. That didn't pay off. Guess I was too vague in my post. And thanks for the chart!
