As for Zelda, Link’s Awakening was a remake but a remake of a game that was 26 years old at the time meaning to most gamers it was a new title. Link’s Awakening (NSW)-6.63m (as of June 2023) Legend of Zelda-6.53m Phantom Hourglass-4.76m Link to the Past (SNES)-4.61m Adventure of Link-4.38m A Link Between Worlds-4.28m Oracle of Ages/Seasons-3.99m Link’s Awakening (GB)-3.83m Spirit Tracks-2.96m Link to the Past (GBA)-2.82m Link’s Awakening DX-2.22m The Minish Cap-1.76m It’s already the best selling 2D Zelda so people clearly are treating it like a new title and there is little reason to think Echoes of Wisdom is going to see a 2.5x increase over the best selling 2D title. It will probably sell in the 4-6 million range along with the other top selling 2D entries. |
I don't even think 6 mill is happening for Echoes of Wisdom ... maybe 4 million. Link's Awakening came out much earlier in the Switch's product cycle and starred (well) Link. |
Yeah I think it will follow the same trajectory that other 2nd releases on a platform have had.
NES-6.53m to 4.38m
N64-7.60m to 3.36m
DS-4.76m to 2.96m
Wii-7.50m to 3.67m
NSW-31.61m to 20.28m
I agree, ~4 million seems likely.
