Can't wait for this game!!! The reviews are way higher than I expected, I thought it would be like 86sh average but its 91 average on Metacritic which is nuts... I think it will sell higher, I would say 6 million plus!!!

Didn't Link's Awakening sell over 6m? Or are you counting the original & DX versions as separate releases?

Anyway, I think that according to your list it could be.. it seems to be a very high quality game, and there's no Wii U Zelda to steal attention away from it at the moment.

Your list is missing some games :P

Seperately, i also didn't combine Oracles cuz if i did they be 2nd! Im doing those cuz they recently came out (aside from link's awakening).

If ALBW can outsell Spirit Tracks fast i think it might head over 5mil lifetime! Time will tell!

5mil for me (in 4 years)

Showcased numbers! Even though it might not be fair, it is in a way cuz Spirit tracks will have the advantage First 3 weeks!

Well if you take Spirit Tracks, A Link Between Worlds should be able to beat those first 10 weeks numbers easily. Spirit Tracks was the DS's second Zelda which only followed one that was averagely recieved by fans. A Link Between Worlds is the first original Zelda and is enjoying considerable hype.

I think the game will be quite successful, but I don't think it will outsell Phantom Hourglass or Link's Awakening's combined sales. I'd say about 4.6m in the end, over a mil by the end of the year. Of course, I hope the game enjoys a 'New Super Mario Bros.'-like effect and the game becomes the first Zelda to break 10m!

That would be ****ing Awesome, now that you mention it, it might have that affect (hopefully 6mil+), if its 10mil however, expect another True LoZ on the handheld in the nxt 3 years o.O

Updated!!!
