BOTW now at 25.8m on Switch and over 27m total, it's closing in on that 30m mark.

Some how I want to find som post from 2017 about how HZD would crush BotW in sales numbers. 



The sequel is definitely going to top 20mil.



Yeah tbh I have said before that they need to market the sequel like it's the second coming to capitalise. BOTW is going to hit 30m total this year before the sequel releases.

This has inspired me. We needed a new poll, and now we have one: how many units do you all think the BotW sequel will sell?

Here's some past data on Zelda sales (missing some of the most recent updates).



Botw 2 will probably be MASSIVE but just more frontloaded than the original since it's coming towards the end of the Switch. I do think it will sell around 20 millions tho.
Crazy how the remaster of SS already surpassed the original.



It won't hit the same heights as BotW, but I expect it to still 20 million, especially given that the Switch 2 is likely to be backwards compatible.



I'm going to say BOTW 2 hits 20m easy all it needs is Nintendo giving it a massive push, BOTW will cross 30m while I can see the sequel legging it out to 25m with a strong push.

Depending on how the Pokémon games legs it out. Zelda BOTW 2 might even have a chance to be in the 10 best Switch sellers ...

But I think for now, I'll go with 15M would be more than alright. 10M is the floor though

Hyrule Warriors: AoC sold 3mil first 3 days. BotW2 should reach 10mil at the latest after 2 weeks.
