Breath of the Wild has a shot at 20M. Even on Switch alone. A Zelda game selling that high, was unthinkable even up to two and a half years ago. It also looks like it's success is lifting the bars of other games, with Link's Awakening selling over 3M in under two weeks. This makes me so happy.

Really exciting stuff. Zelda as a franchise has definitely jumped into a different sales tier this generation.

So I was still thinking about this. And I realized. 3.13M in 10 days, is actually amazing. I'm positive this is by far the fastest a Zelda game has ever sold; Breath of the Wild didn't do that in 10 days because obviously it's userbase was zero at the start, same for Twilight Princess. Skyward Sword even didn't do it with it's giant potential sales base because 3.13M is actually already almost Skyward Sword's lifetime sales. Maybe Ocarina of Time, on N64, though I doubt it because I assume it's legs would've been better than that back then. I do know Ocarina was the most pre-ordered game ever at the time.
