@curl-6 The fact that it's surpassed Mario Odyssey and SWSH (and SV likely won't pass it either) is even more unthinkable. Not to mention the fact that it's going to outsell the original Pokemon games and could come with in a couple million of Super Mario Bros. Excluding ports, remakes and other re-releases, no Zelda game before this ever reached 10 million. Now we have on that just crossed 30 million and another that should do it in short order.

Yeah the sheer magnitude of BOTW's success relative to the series' three decades of prior history is insane.

It's already sold more than Twilight Princess, (Wii and Gamecube) Ocarina of Time, (N64 and 3DS) and the NES original combined, (the three previous top selling games in the franchise) and it's still moving at speed.

It's not a flash in the pan either as Tears of the Kingdom is maintaining the new sales standard.
