Pretty decent for a remaster.

Recent Zelda US 1st weeks, from VGC:

Ocarina of Time 3D: 156k
Skyward Sword: 604k
The Wind Waker HD: 128k
A Link Between Worlds: 262k
Majora's Mask 3D: 353k
Triforce Heroes: 70k

I guess this shows how Twilight Princess is the most popular Zelda game nowadays, if a remaster on a system with a low install-base as WiiU can get to two/thirds of the sales Skyward Sword did on a system with ten times the base, which was an original release to boot. Though I wonder what the amiibo did for it.

TPHD is apparently second only to SS, but obviously I get that OoT3D and WWHD were released earlier into their system's lifetime. TPHD did beat both A Link Between Worlds, an original game no less, and Majora's Mask 3D. Makes me curious for Zelda U's opening.

I guess this is also another nail into the coffin of the pre-order numbers here, because that was like what double? Anyway that's just an indicator anyway.

If these numbers are correct of course.

EDIT: Bonus: Hyrule Warriors: 129k

 

Oh WOW! That is very Good! 

But if were going to use other games data from VGCHARTZ, might as well use the data for this game from VGChartz as well. 



Pocky Lover Boy!

Excellent numbers for HD remaster.

Then again, the original is the second best selling Zelda game, and fans are starving for the real deal, so it makes sense I suppose.

And On the Wii U!

Glad another Wii U game has taken the No.1 spot in the US

it was always going to be #1 this week but it's dissapointing the wii u couldn't take the overall software #1 for the week. 

If I understood correctly, you saying its disappointing that HD remaster on platform that has instal base more than 3x less than PS4, that basically don't have software support outside Nintendo while PS4 is platform with best software support, didn't push Wii U to take overall software #1 for the week!?

There is nothing disappointing in that, only thing we can say about sales is that are great sales for first week for Zelda HD game in US alone.

Around 400k for US only!?
Thats great, probably will be around 1m world wide for first two weeks.

The Amiibo must have been a big push!
Perhaps we'll hear an announcement by Nintendo by the end of the month on it reaching 1 million?

yeah we know why it's doig bad but it's still dissapointing such a big title couldn't give it one week at the top. 

That says more about everything else than that one title though. I mean, +500% almost with one game that sold 420k lol .

No, it actully says more about how a console like the Wii U can almost top the leader.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

yeah on a week where nothing released for x1 or ps4. it managed to top the x1 so it got half way there.
