We suspected that the first sales figures for Zelda Tears of the Kingdom were going to be colossal and they are indeed crazy. With 10 million copies sold in just 3 days, the game simply becomes the best start to the saga. In three days, therefore, it has already sold a third of the final sales of Zelda Breath of the Wild, which sold 30 million copies worldwide at the end of its career. However, in Nintendo’s history, only one other game had managed to reach such a figure, namely Pokémon Purple and Pokémon Scarlet. The difference is that Zelda Tears of the Kingdom was not released during the holiday season, but in the middle of May, which allows us to measure the feat a little. On the side of Nintendo, impossible not to celebrate this blessed day. “Seven years after its arrival on the market, the Nintendo Switch continues to attract players, like this new release breaking all all records,” said the president of Nintendo of Europe, Mr. Stephan Bole. “We warmly thank fans of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and look forward to discovering their adventures and creations, as they journey through the lands of Hyrule.”

With these new creation features, Zelda Tears of the Kingdom can count on a community that is likely to communicate massively on social networks and share their creations, while making others want to get started too. It’s both interesting in terms of gameplay and very smart on the marketing side. Win-win everywhere.
