Who knows. Probably because people prefer it to the second best selling game (Twilight Princess) on here.


Twilight Princess actually was the best selling 3d Zelda game if you count both platforms it was launched on.

 

Skyward Sword was a great game and deserved better sales. But that's what happens when you release a zelda game on a downward trending platform.  You gotta release a zelda game earlier in a system's lifecycle IMO.

Nope, OoT and OoT 3D sales are better than TP GC and Wii.

But that's a remake.   A remake is different because many of the same people will buy the game again.

Well, TP is a duel release. If we take all the numbers without putting in the "that's not faie because" OoT is the best selling.

Either way it is not entirely fair. To me the Wii version would have sold more had it not been released on gamecube as well.
