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

I know that. I'm just having a little fun watching a chase. Trying to catch the rabbit is more entertaining than actually catching it, I find in this case.
Plus, it'd be THAT much more incredible if the Switch version was able to do it by itself, just to showcase how much Breath of the Wild has truly brought a breath of fresh air (pun completely intended) to the series.

And yes, I also believe that, combining digital and the Wii U versions, that it will be the first Zelda game in history to do 2 million lifetime in Japan.
