Predict the lifetime sales of the Ocarina of Time remake

[Nuvendil]

10 to 15 seems like a safe bet. It isn't brand new and it isn't open world so it won't have the same appeal as the open world entries.

However, BotW and TotK have created tens of millions of new Zelda fans, many of whom may not have been ALIVE when the original OoT released. And statistically, the vast majority of them, alive or not, never played this. To them, this is a brand new, AAA Zelda experience. And on to that those who sid play it and are excited about the overhaul, there's a hugr audience to sell to.

But I don't think it hits 15 to 20. Partly because of the limiting factors mentioned, and partly because I suspect the legs will be cut by the next mainline Zelda, which should be - if this game is any idnication - a real show stopper.

But if it hits, say, 13.5 million, that would put it well ahead of the previous best selling traditional Zelda release Twilight Princess on the Wii+GameCube.

But I will say, there is a chance it could go higher. There's a mystique to OoT that, combined with the very impressive presentation and the magnitude of the hype surrounding the Zelda IP, could propel it past 15. But I still think it would fall short of the BotW and TotK numbers.
