If Ocarina 3D could sell over 6M, I easily see this topping 10M. I’ve cited this stat a few times already across the forum, but if you look at the Twitter engagement on Nintendo’s announcement post, it’s putting games like Smash Ultimate and Tears of the Kingdom to shame despite not having a cult following on Twitter (unlike something like Tomodachi).

Also, as far as testimonial is concerned, FWIW all of my millennial siblings who skipped NS1 have actually just purchased an NS2 in response to hear this Ocarina of Time remake (in addition to the time pressure of the impending price hikes). And they all are really big on GTAVI.

I think this game does have a lot of potential to sell very well, even if not a new and original mainline. I mean, just look at how well Spyro Reignited and Crazy N’Sane performed.

If there’s any game that could compete with GTAVI, it’s a wholly original reimagining/remake of Ocarina of Time.

I've seen the same happening among my own inner circle as well. Oot remake is the first real "must have" system seller on the console.

It's a interesting phenomenon how casual fans are so eager to compare this title to gta 6 of all games. That game is probably selling over 100m copies at least. That's a good sign if anything.

For me, the last two main Zelda games only sold very well because of their sandbox approach full of possibilities.
I think Ocarina of Time will only surpass 20 million if they drastically change the structure or if people buy it thinking it's something else because of the marketing. This competition with GTA created on Twitter doesn't make sense,at least here in South America, GTA is 10 times more popular than Zelda, especially among young people.

I agree, both botw style of games had a massive appeal among gamers thanks to it's sandbox style of gameplay. It brought a huge influx of new fans to the series.

Oot Remake in comparison is a more "niche" game aimed to exiting Zelda/Nintendo fans.

But still, Ocarina of Time has been know as the best rated game on metacritic for decades at this point. I can see a bunch o people buying this title just to see what's all the fuss is about
