The legs of BotW are crazy.

It has now been in the top20 of MC for over 2 years. Has not dropped out once.

It has a crazy stable baseline (this chart is without launch week)
Lowest week was week 42 2018 with 4208 units.

BotW is currently the 3rd biggest Zelda in Japan and only 300k behind 1st and 2nd which are the two original Zelda games on the NES.
And this is without digital sales.

Let's see how far that top 20 streak goes. Currently 106 weeks and counting.

I've been predicting Zelda would have strong legs for a while now, but this kind of result surprises even me.  It's legs are amazingly strong.  This is just a typical week and yet it sold over twice it's lowest week.  For a long time it was rougly on par with Mario Odyssey.  Now Odyssey is hoving around the 20th spot every week.  Remember how well Splatoon 2 was selling for about a year and a half?  This week Zelda is above Splatoon 2.  For most weeks in 2019 so far, Zelda has been above Splatoon 2 on Media Create.  Zelda's legs just will not die.  In fact somehow its legs seem to be getting stronger.  Don't know how that is even possible.  It's amazing!
