Fun facts:

1. Splatoon has outsold every Zelda game ever except The Legend of Zelda (1.69m) and The Adventure of Link (1.61m).

2. Splatoon is, as of April 1st 2017, the best selling 8th gen home console game with 1.53 million units sold. Splatoon is also the best selling new home console IP since Wii Sports.

3. Splatoon was 10th best selling franchise in the 8th gen, behind the likes of Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter, and Yokai Watch. (Only have VGC - 3DS data to check)

4. Breath of the Wild is on track to become the first Zelda to sell 1 million units since Ocarina of Time (1.45m).

All data used comes from VGC.

Splatoon with digital sales is around 1.7-1.8m.

Thanks! I couldn't find Splatoon LTD. That's from Nintendo or using Famitsu estimates?

Is it, actually? Did VGC track Japanese OoT sales weekly?

Another question, do you happen to remember what made the increase WoW in the following three weeks for Splatoon?

Vgchartz is a pretty good archive for software sales. They have totals and regional breakdown from a lot of old games. http://www.vgchartz.com/game/2399/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time/

I can tell you when I get back home. It was probably a holiday, like Golden Week (which we'll see if Zelda had a decent boost from this Wednesday).
