4. (SNES) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - 1,115,000
5. (DS) The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - 950,000
6. (NS) The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* - 896,455 (+12,675)
7. (GC) The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - 890,000

*Without Digital

The physical Switch version of Breath of the Wild has surpassed Wind Waker to move into 6th place on the All-Time Single SKUs Legend of Zelda Japan Sales List.

And now, Phantom Hourglass is next!

6th on sku only (excluding digital) is a funny disadvantage here. If you include digital (around. 80k-100k) and add wiiu 140k (minimum) that make botw in the ballpark of 1.1mil sold. By wnd of the quarter we will see BotW over 1.2mil ship+digital and its not slowing down. 

 

So for the remainder of the year (9 months) it needs to ship+digital 500k more to be the best selling zelda by years end.... Possible? Maybe... At worse if it avg 5k-7k a week for apr-dec itll be at 1.4mil-1.5mil

 

Yeah im going with zelda botw doing 2mil in Japan lifetime. Its doing 10k+ a week, the biggest surprise leg game thats single player
