With the recent financial figures. Breath of the Wild is officially the best selling Zelda game of all time in Japan. Between both the NS and Wii U versions, Japanese sales for Breath of the Wild are at least 1.9 million units sold as of September 30th, with 1.78 million coming from the NS version alone. Both of these figures comfortably surpass the 1.69 million unit figure of the original Legend of Zelda on the NES, the previous record holder.
At this point, 2 million in Japan is a lock. In fact, 2.5 million may even be a possibility depending on how strong the game's legs are between now to the end of the Switch's life cycle.
